i have to take a lie detector test to prove my innocence due to an accusion wich i had no part of. due to being a minor, i have to take one where i talk only and i have to lie about like 3 things on it. but nothing related to the accusion. a friend of mine told me to pinch myself then answer saying no because it does something to ur brain that lets you lie and gets away with it? idk. but i need help. because the three things i have 2 lie about i cant let my mom know...so i need a life saver!

I don't know if this is the right forum or not , but ok here's what happened. I am the IT guy at a mid-sized company, and people perpetually beg me to get them ipods and laptops etc. because I run across great deals all the time. Well I ran across this sweet deal for a dell I don't recollect the model , but it had a nice dual core processor and 2 gb of ram and vista ultimate. I looked it up at the time and retail it was a $800 product. Well the person I bought it from is not a good business man and I always get ridiculous deals from him. I got this laptop for $200, and my boss was wanting it really badly so I sold it to him for my price.
A couple weeks later I come to find out that he just flipped it for profit. It really pisses me off because I COULD HAVE FLIPPED IT FOR PROFIT, but I am trying to make sure that those around me have access to getting some of the cool stuff that I have access to.
I am positive that I told him I didn't have a problem giving it to him for my cost, just as long as he kicked me down if he sold it for a profit.
Well he didn't even tell me he sold it, I happened to hear it through the grapevine, so I asked him. He just smiled at me and said yep he did. I told him he should kick me half the profit, and he basically just said I could have bought it.
It really pisses me off because OF COURSE I COULD HAVE BOUGHT IT. I am not an idiot and know what the product was worth. I didn't sell it to him as a business deal, it was a personal favor and I feel like he slapped me in the face.
Everyone at my work goes through me to get good deals on electronics , but NO MORE!!! this ticks me off so much I am no longer going to do them any favors. If they want to buy anything from me, I will make sure to turn a profit.
I guess my question is: how do you feel about what he did?
Do you think I am being a baby about it?
What would you do?
Do you think him turning a profit (on something I could have easily made money on, but was trying to help a coworker acquire a nice laptop) and not give me a kickback is ethical?
TIA

That was a real dick move on his part. Never give him anything again.

I don't think you're being a baby; this is a very reasonable thing to be mad about. His actions are definitely not ethical. You had an agreement, and he broke it.

You shouldn't punish your other coworkers for one person's douchebaggery, though. I would continue to get them good deals when it's not too much of an inconvenience.
