Never said she accepted it.
DAM16SXS; Not hearsay if I heard it from the actual person involved.

Not a widow. she has owned the gun and hunted it for more than 30 years. she isnt a wall flower.
she knew market vaklue. she had it priced at the higher end of its value prepared for some dickering. But not getting D*cked.

she told him in no uncerttain terms what he could do with the check.
Okay, without divulging the actual gun, I will use a Fox (not the actual gun) to illustrate for all you guys who didnt get it the first time:

woman at a table, set up, displaying an A.H. Fox 20 Ga DE. a person at the AHFCA table approaches her and asks her how much, she replies 19. He asks to see the gun. she shows him and he pours over it for a while, 30-45 minutes. makes a few calls. asks her her if she will take 18. she says yes. He writes a check for 1800 dollars. she tells him no way.

he ( based on his knowledge and his mannerisms as a serious collector, etc. knew damn well that the gun was worth 18 thousand, not 1800.
She knew what her gun was worth. she wasnt a tyro.
