That's not very nice screwing your friend over like that. If he's not fully into computers, and your playing him for a sucker, I'd say no. That's not being a good friend. However, if on the other hand, your friend wants to trade, and is computer literate, then I say go for it. If he knows about computers, and hasn't kept up on the latest happenings, then that's his own tough luck.
