Anne, I can sympathize with your dilemma. This past weekend I went to a Zany
Brainy to pick up 2 7171s that had been transferred to the store for me. The
clerk said that a lady had been in and was distrought that both were on

them. At that point, I didn't 'need' either - they were going to be part of a
trade, but I substituted other sets.
So I told the clerk to call the lady and tell her she could have one. I took
the other home. I felt good. So then they gave me the clearance discount on
that set, even though it wasn't on clearance.
They told me the lady's name was Sophia, and I have no idea who she is. (I
thought it might have been Maggie C.)
My answer: Don't feel guilty, but good karma is always helpful.
