I mean, that doesn't seem like the best deal ever, but stores can offer whatever prices they want when buying cards. This guy presumably wasn't forced by the store to make the sale, he did it of his own volition.
I'd say in my experience you should expect to get about 50% of market value for your cards when selling to a store, due to overhead, markup, etc. So I'd guess 4x non-foil Vensers would get bought for about $30 most places.
I seen a guy give a store 4x Venser, The Sojourner which one was foil and got $25 bucks
Seems like he was ripped bad! Or is this what you would expect to get?
Card shops buy them at 50% of the value, plus he had the choice to sell or not so, if he sold them, that's his choice, if he didn't that's his choice, everytime I would sell cards to a Card shop I expect it to be 50% of the value.

From the store's standpoint, it was probably a fair deal, considering Venser's play value in standard right now is pretty low, and his value in Eternal formats is next to nothing.
This is how most stores work, and not just those dealing in buying and selling Magic cards - they'll generally only give you around half of what they want to eventually sell the item for.

Most stores will only give about 50% cash value or less. This is how they make a profit.
