Unexpected profit - Should I give a kickback?

I apologize if I made you uncomfortable with the reaction to my opinion here, I did jump on and still count that 50% as a part of the deal.
I'm glad you are going to share and I really hope it helps your future with the guy, just make him an honest offer to sell any good items for him when you hand him whatever amount you decide on.
Most people don't want to mess around with leftovers from a paid service and are happy with a little bonus above scrap value now and then.
I do make deals with people that anything I can sell over scrap value I often offer them half of whatever it sells for.
and they are more than happy to add to the load and call me when they need a hand or have someone else offering a fraction of what stuff is worth.
If I am guessing about anything I say I try to make that point up front so they know whether or not an item is worth taking to higher levels rather than tossing it into the scrap pile.
