Moral decision: Did I make the right one, or am I really stupid?!?!
Ok, here was the situation. Pulled up to the gas station(with the cutouts open, of course 
), a guy strolls over and starts asking me all about my truck. We talk for a while, then the guy is like, "Do you want to buy a camcorder?" I'm like,"Huh?" So he carries me around to his truck and shows me a brand new Sony digital camcorder. He has like 5 of them, still in the plastic with a carrying case. It's one of the top of the line camcorders, NICE. So I'm thinking, "This thing is so HOT, it's smoking!" We talk and I ask how much. He says, "I don't know man, a bill." He is really tempting me here. I say that's ok, and he says, "Alright, 60 bucks." 
I catch myself really thinking hard about it. I even tell the guy to let me go to the ATM inside. I don't know if it was my conscious, or being afraid of some sort of "sting operation", but I turn around and go back to them and say I wasn't interested. He tells me they came from his Aunt, who works at _______, and she just slid a few out. He didn't actual take them from anywhere.
In the end, I decline, and kick myself in the *** all the way home.
So, let me get some input.....What would YOU have done?

I'd be posting vids right now. 
Nah, I can't stand that **** and would have done the same thing. Plus, I'm paranoid when it comes to buying hot stuff.

That stuff was hot, and you might have of been getting set-up.
Those cost more than that to make. That guy must have of burnt himself while holding them. I had a similar run in with subwoofers, that a guy was selling out of a van.....down by the river.
