So recently I was given a present for my birthday. It was a little different in detail from exactly what I wanted but that's alright. The person who bought me this present spent WAY to much on it, and I believe he was ripped off on eBay. The item, in its condition (which isnt that good btw) would be worth around $110, but he spent around $180 on it! The item NEW would be worth that, and would have come with all of the accessories (this is a portable gaming console, im a huge gamer). He ended up spending just that on a used, heavily scratched version that came with nothing but a charger. I wouldnt say that im dissapointed, but I feel REALLY bad about it. Im afraid that if I tell him ill sound like an ungrateful brat. I can honestly say that I wouldve rather had the new one, but it doesnt bother me that much. This person way overpayed for the item in which they couldve gotten new for the same price, and with all of the accessories. Unfortunately, he has already given the seller positive feedback on eBay. Am I being ungrateful for thinking this? Would I be ungrateful for notifying him of this?
Update:The item is heavily scratched (which, ill admit, bothers me a little bit), comes with none of the accessories in which he could have gotten for the same price. I feel that he was ripped off because of me, and I feel bad about it.

This person thought enough of you to spend $180 to buy you a gift that they thought you would enjoy. Smile, say thank you, and let them know you appreciate it.
I wouldn't say you are being ungrateful, I would feel the same way as you. The thing is, whoever bought the present for you now feels very good about it. If you go back to them and tell them then they will likely feel embarrassed and yes they might see you as ungrateful. My advice is to use the console, it still does it's job after all. You can buy the accessories you need from ebay.
