I cheated a 10 year old out of over $1000 dollars. Am I a dick?

[RockstarChris]

Recently I started building up inventory to start an ebay store. Last week I got 80 skylanders from thrift stores. This last weekend I was interested in a bunch of skylanders at a garage sale. I knew there was at least a thousand bucks of stuff there and I asked how much for all of it. The mom told me that they were her sons and that I can negotiate with him for the price.

He came outside and was about 10 years old. I offered 25 bucks and he got wide eyed like he was rich and quickly accepted it.

Am I a dick for scoring well over $1000 of shit for 25 bucks from a 10 year old?

Here is my score (over 150 items, just 3 of the pieces in front are worth $40-$50 each):



Now I have a total of 230ish skylanders to individually list on ebay

 

[smooth assassin]

yes

 

[FyrFytr998]

Nope. This is on his mom.

 

[Agent Mulder's Hair]

Yes. Yes u are.

 

[Almighty Angus]

lol, mom should have known better than to have her 10 year old son barter away his hobby.

What you did isn't neccessarily dickish, probably should have given him a better offer than $25 though.

 

[Michaelangelo]

Not a dick but you are an asshole

 

[dildos]

yes and no in a round about way.

Sounds like something a dick would do...

 

[EmpireShallFall]

That's his fault. Snot nosed kid anyway.

So I always hear about how much stuff is worth. Can you honestly cash in on those right now if you put em on eBay? Just curious

 

[00 Buck]

Was he blind and did you sell him a dead parakeet too?

 

[RockstarChris]

Whats funny is I saw the same kid with some friends a couple hours later and they all had sodas and a ton of candy. Guess that $25 wasn't invested wisely.

Knowledge is power and lulz at post above above post.

And this reminds me of the time my friend got a ridiculously cheap deal on a paintball gun at a garage sale. Supposedly a little kid sold his big brothers paintball gun for dirt cheap. I know that kid got the shit beat out of him once his brother found out

yep, I just check the SOLD listings for each item and they range from $5-$50. Most are in the $5-$15 range.

Ts is going back later to fuck the kids mom and spit in his chocolate milk.

On the one hand there's the principles of freedom of contract.

On the other hand he's a minor and clearly an unsophisticated party. I'd call this agreement unconscionable.

In short, you're a total dick.

 

[RockstarChris]

I should pay the kid another $25 to list them all for me. That would be very Trumpesqe

 

[Don Quixote]

Well at least you made his day with $25 bucks.
