Like you, I have never charged a finder's fee to a friend,
acquaintance or anyone on any of these lists, even though I make my
living buying, selling and selling parts from little british cars. BUT,
Many people I know make at least part of their living finding,
advertising for, selling and promoting cars. They bear the expense of
travel to see them, to take pictures, to negotiate, etc. I don't know
whether you are a doctor, a lawyer, an engineer or a homeless person,
but I'm pretty sure you would not spend much time giving away the
fruits of your expertise in your chosen field, and I am not about to
denigrate someone else who practices the same way in his chosen
field. Try thinking before you claim moral superiority....
