Well wait, the fact that you ordered a short throw suggests that you aren't happy with yours, wouldn't you want to try it out first before you decide to sell it? Who knows, if you like this one more, you might be able to sell the other one

I wouldn't say you're stupid - more like really lucky. Instead of paying half the price for a shifter you're going to hate and then being stuck with it because you dont want to spend the additional cost of a good one, you already have a good one for free. You should return it to AM and just eat the restocking fee - I doubt anyone will want to buy or trade for that.

If a part costs half as much as all the other ones, there is usually a reason for that.
