Default does this seem shady / wrong?

might be confusing..

elliott - knows brent and andy
brent - knows elliott, wants to buy andy's indash tv
andy - knows elliott, wants to sell his indash tv

all three are my friends.

elliott finds out andy is selling his tv, he tells his friend who wants to buy one, but doesnt want to spend $600. that friend tells brent. elliott finds out and calls up andy, saying that brent wants to buy it. andy is all about it and says set it up. elliott thinks since he knows brent and is setting up the deal, he should make like $50 off of it.

would you do this to people that are somewhat your friends? i just think its dumb that he is trying to profit off of something that requires him to do nothing, he didnt even find brent to buy it, the other kid did.

edit: im gonna call up brent and tell him to go through me, so either andy doesnt lose any money, or brent doesnt pay like 650, where 50 is going to elliott.

depends how how old these people are, and how well they know each other.

if they are old enough to work and make some mula, then i think what he is doing is wrong.

but if he is like somewhat young and is trying to hustle his bud to make a quick buck, i dont think its that bad.
