Bonus!

I had bought my little brother a wallet for Christmas and he ended up returning it because it was too big.  It got credited back to my credit card and I told him to just email what he wants instead.  He finally got around to sending me links to three other wallets he liked.  I picked one out and told him I would buy it.  I slacked and it had been on sale.  So I waited some more.  Another sale arrived and I went to buy it to only find out that it was $8 shipping for a $22 wallet. I scoffed and went to check online if it was in store.  There was a possibility that it was.

I went on Saturday and bought it for $18!  There were two of the same wallet and both were no in pristine condition.  One had a small scratch on the front and the other was creased everywhere.  I ended up picking the one with the small scratch.  Good thing I did too.

I shipped it off to him on Monday and in total it cost $21 with shipping.  Yes!  He sends me an email last night asking if I had put money in the wallet.  I was like no, but I did include the receipt.  He calls me up and says he found $150 in the wallet in one of the tiny pockets.

WTF!  Obviously, you can't locate the original owner of the wallet since they must have returned it after using it (maybe?).  So my brother being so generous is splitting this found money with me.  That's crazy.  Should I feel bad?
