If you were selling an item and a friend sold it for you, but got an amount above your asking price, would you feel obligated to give them that extra amount? Why or why not?

Yes I would, If they were nice enough to take the time to help you out why not show your appreciation?

Hummm have had it happen before and yeah I gave them the extra they got for it fair is only fair. I got what I wanted for the item which was a fair price in itself lol Besides they took the time to help me out why should I not help them out in the long run we both benifiet from the deal.

I would say let them keep the difference. If you are selling an object and HAVE set the price, and they can get alittle extra ??.. let them keep it for the "extra " work they provide... If this is a business sale, ie, you work together, and are selling company items then no .. they should not keep it NOR should you .... I think I am confused ... LOL...

if you got your price what differnce does it make what they got unless you had a prearranged agreement to split the overage

I believe they should get the xtra just for their time.think of it as a tip of sorts.

Biker Bob, ethics are worth more to me than friendship.

rule #1 that i have:be honest.if you have someone sell a car for you and your price is/was $4500.00 firm and they sold it for $6000.00 then they get the difference for the time as well as their effort to sell it.honesty IS the best policy.

if I'm getting the Q straight (just got up), I would let her keep the extra plus what ever I told them I would share as well.

When I had a friend selling my artwork for me, I would put my price on it, and if she got more, she got to keep it. Granted, when something I put $15 on, and she constantly got $50 for it, I did up my price to $25 after a while. Yeah, I suck at sales, LOL and am looking for someone to replace her since she moved.
