You def did the right thing - Making big profits out of / conning vulnerable people might feel good for a few minutes but you would regret it for a lot longer.

You never know she may may reward you for your honesty. She should considering you stopped her from throwing her money away - one good deed deserves another.

I'd have offered her 75% the value of them but I would tell her that it was only 75%. Maybe you could have both been happy with that deal?

I agree with the other people, who knows what she's been going through?.. You definately did the right thing, if I were you I'd at least get her phone number, if I needed those sets I am going to go and buy them from her. Since, not everyone's so helpful and at the coin market, she'd probably be fooled by some dishonest person. I salute you, Sir.

It is never wrong to do the right thing. You may have helped her pay the electric bill.
