Record mediation

DJ_NevilleC

Here's a hypothetical:Soulstrutter A buys a bunch of records (about $600) from his good friend Soulstrutter B. Soulstrutter B isn't working and needs the cash so he's thinning out his collection and selling some doubles. B also e-bays to help pay the bills. A owns a record store and needs some medium raer stock. A also picks out a few records for his personal collection from B's e-bay pile. One of the personal LP's he buys for about $15. A really likes the album (which he didn't know of before) so he does some research on it and finds out it's a about a $200 record. A confeses to B that said LP is worth a lot more than $15. B wants some more compensation and A agrees that some form of it is necessary, but how much?

"about 200" Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. $135 added to the $15 already paid.

Yeah, that's one way of looking at it.

But how cool is it for a friend to get over on another friend? Especially when he knows that his friend is in serious need of cash?

mmmm?

That's a hard call, glad I'm not in that situation. What's record is it if you don't mind me asking?

hmm in that case i'd say throw him a hundred.

if the record is worth $200 and he/she is a friend $100 sounds good

smoke a blunt with him and introduce him to a freak you know.

split the difference:

$200-15 = $185/2 = $92.50[/b]

That's what A is leaning towards. No huge deal really. Friends will be around a lot longer than records (or is it the other way around).

Just pay him a little. That is wrong if he needs the money. You will not regret it.
