My 19 year old daughter, loves Legos, she asked me for a set that I can't find for less than 260 online. It is retired and 10 years old. I have been looking for about a year. I just can't bring myself to pay $260, for what was once a $70 set.

My Ex husband who doesn't speak to me unless it's about the kids and rarely sees the kids (Who are 19 18 and 16) but he does talk to them on the phone, has this set as he has collected legos for years. He has it new in box according to my daughter. She has asked for it from him for a couple of years, he said no it was worth too much.

I asked if he would be willing to give it to her for her birthday, or if he would sell it to me at a reasonable price so I could give it to her for her birthday. He refused. So she didn't get it for her birthday back in Jan.

He often sells his sets on FB market place. I was looking for this set as I do randomly hoping to find it. Well I guess he decided to sell it. He had it listed at $150. I told him I would pay him that if he would sell it to me. No haggling, just straight up give what he was asking.... Nope.

So I had a male coworker of mine, who my Ex doesn't know... offer him the $150 for the set, of course since it's not me he accepted, I gave the coworker the money and he went and got it for me.

I sent it to my daughter in college as an "Easter gift" instead of a gift card like I usually give her. She was so excited that she posted it on her Instagram..How I "Finally got it for her" (Didn't tell her where it came from) Ex follows her and I guess put 2 and 2 together and text me calling me everything under the sun for tricking him. I ignored him as I usually do. But I am wondering AITAH for "tricking him" into selling me the set for our daughter as it was her "dream set"
