Right handed bolt action vs. Left handed bolt action

Question for the community. What would you do if you are in the following situation. You are Right-handed shooter, and you are in the market for Rifle Y in Z caliber and brand new it retails for $2,319, but you find a slightly blemished piece that is selling for $1,999. But there is a catch, it is a Left-handed rifle. Would you go for it, or would you pass on it?
Thanks in advance.

Hard pass for me. I think it’d drive me nuts having one rifle that worked completely different—especially if I’m spending $2k.

Definitely not worth a $300 savings for me personally. Hard pass as well.

Yeah, maybe if it was $1000 off, or was a rifle i knew i could sell for no loss or even profit.

And

I’m only going to use it, and no others. Hate to mess up in the heat of the moment.

It’s gonna be a hard pass for me and I am a lefty!
I’ve shot right handed guns my whole life. I once bought a beautiful left handed rifle but it turned into a wall hanger because I couldn’t operate the dang thing lol.
Personally, I advise all new lefty’s to train on RH guns. You never have to worry about a limited selection and there is actually a resell market.
