Default maybe i am stupid but..   #1  
so a girl and i started a vender both at a fleamarket and it is doing ok but i had to borrow fifteen dollars to get inventory(i mostly sell jewelry i make but i sell auction things too) the deal was i would put my mirror up as a firm bid(no haggling) and she would take the 15 from that when it sold since it is an eye-piece(to make catch the eye and make you want to look inside), she said fifty is a good sale and before i got online i said fifty sounds good, i do however, before the mirror goes up look up the value and my mirror, with the crack in the wing-glass is worth about 88 dollars because it is 'colored'(there is color tint to the brass) i want to do 70. the mirror is priced at 50 so when we get there i am unhappy, we talk and so i am talked into selling it for 60 instead since that is theoretically enough to keep the mirror up for a while, today she tries to give me 35 dollars for the mirror, i am confused and ask her why and say the count seems off, she says it did not sell she is buying from me and the 35 is the 50 minus the 15 i owe her. i am understandably upset and i refuse to take the money making her angry because i am 'renegging'(trying to break a set deal by renegotiating the price) to keep the mirror. i say i am not because that was not the agreement and that was not the price

long and short of it i decided to give her the mirror free of charge to end the fight and call my 180 dollar brass mirror fair trade for the 15 dollar loan but she is still mad at me and i feel terrible because i had a feeling something was going to happen when the damn price-tag showed up 20 dollars short, am i validated in feeling like i have been hoodwinked so this girl could get a good deal on something she will most certainly resell for close to the actual value of? i don't mind having lost my mirror to prevent much more worrisome issues in the future but i am very upset that she knew i was reluctant to sell and only had it up because it was beneficial to the booth. i am also going to tell her i dont want to vend with her anymore because i cannot trust her
