The funny thing is the gun cost $759 and my buddy asked what kinda a deal can you give me ? The store owner with out blinking says I can do $759 . Hmm grumble ok I'll take it lets do some paper work . The the store owner then states there is a new law in CA that requires my buddy passes a gun safety test before buying . It will be an extra cost of $30 . My buddy says I'm not going to spend another 30 bucks as well . What does the store owner do ? shrugs and says OK and puts the rifle back on the shelf . WOW he gave up a $800 sale for $30.

It is an $800 sale. It isn't $800 of profit. He gave your buddy the best deal and your buddy agreed to it. The deal was for the rifle. Why should he lose and additional $30 of profit after your buddy agreed to the price?
