Buying a used pop up

[Hyde]

I have seen a lot of pop ups being sold on Craigslist. Where I live a lot of people have lost jobs so they are selling them pretty cheap. Would you feel bad for buying a used pop up from someone who is selling out of desperation, not because they want to?

If you're feeling bad, give them a little extra. I'm sure they are glad to get what they get even if they are not happy having to do it. I'm afraid there will be a lot more of that sooner than later. And he may find a job about the time yours runs out.

If they don't sell to you they will sell to someone. That is what desperation is all about, doing what it takes to get by. I think Grandpa has a wonderful idea.

Grandpa is right- obviously they need the money more than they need the pop-up just now. By buying it at a fair price you may be giving them the help they need to get over a tough spot.
