The kindness of strangers

My husband has been selling some of his old record albums on Ebay over the last couple of weeks. One guy won an album on auction for only $.99, plus $3.99 shipping, which makes the total just under $5. Well, he paid us $10 via PayPal for it. We were very confused and wrote him a message about refunding the extra $5 he paid, figuring he meant to send an even $5, instead of $10.

He responded and said that he didn't want us to go through all the trouble of mailing a record for only $.99, so he wanted us to have the extra $5 for our trouble. We were shocked. You just don't see kindness like this today, which is unfortunate. So we put some "freebies" in the package to show our appreciation for his generosity.

That's a "feel good" story! In general, I have pretty low expectations when it comes to the general public. So it's always nice to have people surprise you with kindness and generousity!
