LOTS of interesting replies here. I wonder if it's worth putting the "shoe on the other foot" as a thought experiement?
What if YOU were the Ebayer and while at a friends house, saw collectibles you KNEW might be valuable, whereupon he said "go ahead and see if you can sell them." and you netted $1K as a result? Would YOU give him $0, $20, half, or some other amount?
What if you just SUSPECTED that they might be valuable?
What if you thought they'd be worth $20 and were pleasantly surprised yourself?
Where is the line between what you knew, what you got, and what you shared?
Well for one thing I wouldnt have bragged how much I got for them
But honestly if my friends gave me something and said go ahead and sell it. If I didnt put much work into it I would split it 50/50. After all I would have had nothing in the first place if he didnt give me anything.
