i agree with oogie , it wouldn't feel khamatically correct if one day you sold a 2nd hand oakley bag and you realised your thumps was inside.

Taking all this in, it makes me feel that it will be even more kharmatically good to take it back, or at least offer it back, as what goes around comes around. If you keep it the universe could be giving you a little now, but it could take more later, like you using it and then losing it with all your money and CC's in it. I have changed my stance, take it back and kharma will repay you in larger ways. :)

I have two O related stories on this.

About 3 years ago I went to a huge department store and was browsing the watches and drooling over the £999 O Time Bomb. I then spotted a small Icon (£799) mistakenly priced as a D1 digital (£129). My little brain raced and raced and I seriously thought about buying it for my girlfriend (turned out she wouldnt have liked it anyway). With it being a womans watch (with a salmon face) I couldnt even wear it myself so I even resorted to wondering what a watch reseller would give me for it to fuel my O habit (needless to say this was in the days before the o-review or I would have flagged it up to you guys). In the end I opted for the moral option. I called up the stores reception and asked to be put through to the departmental manager. Told him I was a big O fan and that I had spotted a BIG mistake in the pricing of a watch. I told him that my honesty had served him well but that I had done myself out of a £670 profit) He thanked me profusely and sent me out £50 in vouchers with a very warm thanks and a welcome to shop in his store any time.

On the flipside we can cut to today when I walked into a branch of a national chain of opticians and spotted a Ti A wire (£199) priced up at £119. I noted a small scratch on the iridium but thought "what the hell". Just before they rang them up I noticed they were doing a boxing day promo where if you spend over £100 on shades you get an extra 10% off. The attendant rang them up at £119.

"Did you ask for the extra 10% off" I hear you all ask.

"Do bears crap in the woods" I reply. £107 all in. Both parties involved where quite happy when the transaction took place, no laws were broken!

However, my examples only deal with mis-pricing, not the inclusion of seperate items in a transaction unbeknowest to the selling party.

If Steve hadnt known about this site there may be a good chance that he would have assumed that such a high end product had a little something extra thrown in as standard.

On the other hand, he does know and therefor it could be argued that he has a moral obligation to take it back.

Speaking for myself, I would keep it on point of principle to act as compensation for the Montefrios:-)

They didnt check the pockets. You didnt steal it. You paid for the jacket including its contents, be they a removable hood, a removeable snow skirt or a removeable titanium money clip.

On balance I like Oogies solution best!

Ive got to take my snowboard in for repair this weekend (just round the corner to the oakley shop) so I'll pop in and let them have it back.

I didnt put this in the original thread but I do already have a money clip and the wallet/money clip combo, so its not like I need a third one.

Odd thing is Ive never seen these for sale in the shop (or in any shop in the UK for that matter - other than 10-80) and it looked like it was used, like all tarnished (def not shiny new) like it had been used....wonder if the rep is missing a money clip??
