Obviously each person thought THEY were getting the better deal, don't you think?
If the other guy thought the Ruger was worth more, he would have asked for money in addition to the Colt, right? Vice versa, even.
If you think about it, every time we buy or sell something, we make a judgement of value. When I buy milk, I'm telling the grocer that I think my $5 is worth less than the gallon of milk he's selling, so I'm acting out the belief that I'm coming out better on that deal. Conversely, the Grocer is at the same time telling ME that my $5 is worth more than his gallon of milk, so he's more than willing to sell.
This applies all the time to everything we buy. It's all just people participating in what they believe are mutually beneficial transactions.
