Something I Hate

I am the person that many of my friends go to with gun questions.

That also makes me the first stop when someone wants to sell a gun.  Quite often I am offered quite a deal because they're desperate for money NOW.

That I don't mind.

What I hate is when I'm a good friend and put them together with another friend who only sees the profits from the deal being offered.  They save $400 on that FAL?  Off to Gunbroker to get $300 more than they paid!

The seller is happy since they got the price they asked.  The buyer is happy, they made money.

Thanks, asshole, for cutting me in.

Two things chafe my hide here.  The first is the profiteering without even offering me a share for arranging the deal.  The second is the conversation was, "I've always wanted one of those..."  But then you turn around and sell it within hours?  That liquid down my back isn't rain, is it?
