Title: Usual middleman's cut ?
Post by: aziddy on April 15, 2013, 05:34 pm
Here is the situation. I'm one of the 2 persons but it's irrelevant and I'll try to stay objective explaining the situation.

Person A lives in Europe, he buys weed on SR with his own money and have the weed shipped to his adress. A doesn't know much about the drug business and doesn't have many contacts who could buy him more than 2 grams at the time.

Person B lives oversea, is good friend of A. He knows contacts where A lives who could buy in bulk/semi bulk. He doesn't have any money invested and is at no risk. His role would be to put A and dealers in touch.

What B's cut should be on the profit ?

Nothing? B is only referring A to a hookup. Aren't mates meant to do that? A is ordering from SR anyway. If he wanted bulk could he just not get it from here, no?

this is one of those things I wish I learned from The Wire. they didnt explain the whole division of profits in the chain of commands with the street crews. i myself have a problem with this. situation completely different but i was wondering how to give someone referral money for a sale while still making a profit to not break even

Don't take a monetary cut. Just have A send you a gift from SR from time to time

depends if you want to make money from your friend or not. could he not just *owe* you a favor? maybe repay you in kindness / booze / drugs whatever the next they see each other?

You shouldn't be given anything IMO; You are just helping a friend out, by telling someone that they should go buy from this guy.

Friends help friends out, if you don't be a greedy bastard and ask for something in return, your friend will probably help you out in one way or another.

Fair enough. I got your point. Thank you everyone :) I don't know why everyone assumed I was B lol, I usually assume the best in everyone.
