Crisis of conscience
 

The magazine for my recently prchased JG M16-A1 completely broke durng a match. I went online to an un-named U.S. retailer and ordered two new magazines and was charged for those two magazines. Instead of being sent two indvidual magazines, I was sent two boxes of magazines, giving me a total of twenty magazines. I'm not sure if I should keep them though, because I profited 100$ of airsoft gear. If I kept them I would spilt them up between me and my friends who have compatible guns. It can become a big hassle to return these and it would take a while for me to be sent the two I ordered. What's your opinion?

I would feel guilty about it too, but i don't think there is much you can do.
as you said, returning them would be a hassle.

Doing the right thing usually is a hassle. Contact them and let them know...for your honesty they will either say "keep em" or "return them at our expense". I know what I would do.

+1 Ex.. probably not worth their time/money either. I'd notify them, but expect to be told to keep them. In good conscience, I'd donate the spares to teammates or new players as you've stated.

+1
if you still feel guilty, sell a few and donate the money to charity...

Just keep it or sell it and get the ones you want, hell I would be happy if I got this, I learned to accept extra things early in life ever since playing Monopoly when you get the community card that says "Bank Error in your Favour Collect $100"

Depending on the US retailer, I can almost garuntee it isn't harming them any. Especially if they don't realize their error.

Still doesn't make it right. I too have had this happen to me and contacted the seller right away to try and settle it. Another option that you could try is agree on a price minus the 2 that you already paid for. That is what I did in my situation.
It's great to hear that you actually have a conscience and am willing to make things right, even though you didn't do anything wrong.

I think the real question is, "Can your conscience live with your decision". I think you are looking for a win-win answer (by posting this here) to the problem but you may just get a "thank you" email from the seller. If you can live with just that, then send them back to seller.

free airsoft for you!

the other day I saw a 'education should be free' sticker.
so I took my sharpie, barred education and replaced it with AIRSOFT.

airsoft should be free!

I felt guilty once, but she woke up halfway through it.

Maybe you misread the product description and it said boxset of 10. ;)

This guy can't take a joke, you thought I was serious about the monopoly thing too hahaha

Anyway if you want real seriousness just email them and get the RMA (If you can) which will let you return free of charge, but usually you may just have to pay postage, so send them the product and price reduce for the one you want and voila! Solved

Awesome.

Bad spacemoose! Bad!

I'd keep 'em. Their mistake!

ya i was thinking about that, how much did you pay for those two mags?

potential buyers and sellers... pay close attention to the morals and ethics of the posters in this thread ;)

St Paul at pearly gates, potential employers, and future girlfriends... pay close attention to the morals and ethics of the posters in this thread ;)

haha you lucky bastard. too bad it was just some mags

dont ask dont tell .........haha

I will say this: if it were an actual person/ASC member, completely different story. A retailer across the border/ocean? Then I'm playing for keeps. ;)

I'm in the U.S., so is the retailer. If someone is wondering, I paid 25$ U.S. for 2 mags plus shipping. I received 125$ worth of mags.
I'M KEEPING THEM

HELL YEAH THATS HOW YOU DO IT

Good choice who needs a conscience anyways lol.

oh you are American. That changes everything.
Find out who the seller is voting for. If he is voting for the same candidate as you are, then ship items back. If he is voting different then screw him. LOL

Yeaa Obama Rama

same thing happend to me with the tornado grenades.... i orderd 3 got 6. i gave them back... -the bottom caps and the pins. then sold the nade that was mine cause i didnt like it to much and it was a oil drinker...
