Now owner of 2...but a very akward process

My fiance' and I were at Gamestop last week,I was getting Madden 10 and she wanted some M$ points. There was a man in there wanting to trade in his 360(it worked perfectly),but apparently he wasnt satified with the amount of cash he was going to get since they deduct liek 20% or something for taking cash. So he looked like he needed help. After he left the store,I walked outside and approached him. I asked how much he was wanting for it. He said he would take $150 or so. He then opened up to me and told why he ws selling it(I didnt ask,but he told me anyways.) He told me his son had recently passed away(I believe he said he was 17. Died in a car wreck.) and he had a daughter that was 25 and had no use for it. So he said they were selling stuff that didnt have sentimental value to him and his wife. So I told him to wait a sec and I told my wife to go get $200 out of the closest atm. As my wife was gone,I was small talking with the man. You could tell the man was very very distrought about the loss of his son(as you would naturally expect) My wife returned with the $$ and I gave the man $200 for the 360. He thanked me alot. I got his number and told him that we should all get together sometime ofr dinner. I called him yesterday and me,my fiance,him, and his wife are going out to eat tomorrow night.
Idk but i had this feeling when I started talking to this man and I just felt compelled to help him grieve and help him take his mind off of the situation. I felt and still feel very good about what I did.

Have you ever had a similar experience?
