Milsub Moral Dilema What Would You Do???

[DWdrummer]

I was in this position but with a firearm not a watch. I was in a pawn shop, and a little old lady came in. She unwrapped a leather holster and pulled out a Colt 1911 .45 automatic. She said her husband died and she found it with his things.

He had carried it during the war, came home and went on with normal life and put it away for all those years. It was near mint, original condition.

The jerk tried to pay her $500 for it, which she thought was great. I stepped right in and pulled her aside and corrected him, and told her it was likely worth closer to $5K in that condition with an original holster etc. Those old 1911's are extremely collectible. He flipped out and threw me out of his shop.

I feel good that I did that, even now. I didnt want to shop there anyway.
