Most of my friends seem to be the sort that would be OK with that. It would have to be something serious not to be able to laugh about it over a beer. (actually most of my friends would probably be happy for me to get that much! ;) ). I would have gone the route of having him and his family over for BBQ and beer.

We work with you in TLA. And I want to continue working with you. The fact is that I have bought links at the pages of your site that were in TLA and now I want to buy links at other pages of your site, but they are not in TLA. Can you add new pages in TLA? Or can I buy links without TLA? My site contains useful information that will be of great help for many people. Please, let me know about your decision. Waiting for your soon reply. Thanks. Hi,

You did not have any intention of flipping when you bought it. If you feel guilty, (especially if you feel you got a low price because of your friendship)then buy him a dinner or something. You have already given him more by giving him an education....next time sell on Craiglist! You don’t owe your friend anything. You did not have any intention of flipping when you bought it.

I have never really entertained giving him all of the profit because part of the reason that he sold it to me cheap was because he didn't want to deal with the hassle of trying to sell it. It was very easy for him to just say, "get it out of here". When I decided to sell it, I had to take the initiative and deal with the hassles of people flaking out, coordinating time to see it etc. so I think that entitles me to some, if not all, of the profit. At this point I'm actually leaning towards keeping the cash. I wouldn't expect him to give me any of the profit if the situation was reversed. Thanks for the comment Trip.

Question is how good a friend? Usually, I'm like business is business, but if it is a really good friend might you consider giving him the whole $95, or all of your profit. I mean he's out ~$400 and you would be out $0. Just a thought. Another thought, since this is a friend. Question is how good a friend?

You could argue convincingly either way. You just have to follow your gut. The very fact that you blogged on this topic tells me that it's nagging at you. If you think you're not going to sleep well at night unless you split the money with your neighbor (or you're going to feel awkward hanging out with your neighbor until you set the record straight), then you should do it. Life's too short for unnecessary awkwardness, and good neighbors are hard to come by. I don’t think there’s any clear answer here. You could argue convincingly either way.
