Sometimes I think I'm in the wrong line of work
I've already brokered the first sale for tomorrow's yard sale. I asked our local baker to put up a sign in his window. He asked what kind of stuff was going to be on sale. I mentioned a neighbor's rolling dishwasher. He said to his wife (a colleague of mine, who happened to be hanging out in the shop yesterday) that their upstairs tenant had asked about a dishwasher. I mentioned it to my friend. She stopped by the bakery to buy a cookie and to offer him the dishwasher - $75, deal done. Should I ask for a commission?
