I think what it should come down to is what your character would have done. If your genasi is a selfish jerk then giving the armour away would definitely have been a mistake. Assuming that your character is generally easy to get along with, then you probably made the right decision.
I think this is exactly what you should be asking. For example I was playing a game where the Drow Assassin had looted the house of a powerful noble. He then returned with his booty and offered a few of the pieces to the other members in the group (mostly the ones he had no use for). However the NPC that the DM had been playing for a few sessions in order to help us fight some rather tough battles wanted the magical pair of boots. So as the assassin while the character was sleeping he tried to steal them back. An unlucky role woke up the NPC so the assassin killed him before he could make a ruckus. Was that the smart thing to do? No. But because that is how he had been playing his character that is somethign his character would have done.
(I am not saying kill him just follow your character)

Sometimes the character needs to take a back-seat to the player. In the OP's instance, I think that what was done was admirable as it helps foster good sportsmanship (so to speak). Kudos.

This. Of course many decisions can be made by simply asking "What would my character do", but if that gets in the way of having a good time with your friends, choose your friends. All too often, I hear of some guy posting that his character is a "jerk" when defending actions that cause tension with his group and I always ask myself "what's the point of that?".
