I wish there were more people with your level of integrity. I too, try to help out others when selling them a part, a used vehicle, etc. Case in point: I sold a '69 VW Bus about ten years back, for $600. It ran, but needed almost everything. The first person to answer the ad--an 18 year old hippie chick--promised up and down she'd be back in a week with the money, and she was gonna drive that bus to Alaska. I told her it needed everything, and it wouldn't make it to the city limits.

A few days later, some biker dude showed up in a 1957 Ford Bread Truck, and looked the bus over. I told him the same thing I told the chick--that it needed just about everything from the wheels up. He listed off a few more things it needed, gave me what I was asking, and thanked me for my honesty.

An hour later, the hippe-girl showed up on my doorstep as she'd vowed. I explained to her I'd sold the van, and again, that the van was a total project. Then, I steered her toward the local VW shop, where she got some help with her purchasing. I heard they told her to save her cash, and take a Greyhound.

Then as now, I slept well.

I'd hate to think I'm responsible for somebody else's misery. I probably cause enough of it by accident without setting out to do it intentionally. Plus what comes around goes around, you know?
