POLL: Found out my 6th grader plays QB at recess and another kid has been paying him $1 every time he throws him the ball. My son has $46 cash from him so far. Should we intervene?

Keep accepting the deal, but don’t throw to him at all several days in a row. The price will go up.

TCuz, I think I need to hire you to be my agent. That's actually brilliant.

Maybe consider mentioning it to the parents of the other kid - but that's as far as I would go. I appreciated it when

Could be an only kid for some wealthy parents? Less kids = more money to spend on solo kid.

Sounds like a win/win.

Yes

Apr 18, 10:23am

The kid is paying your kid for confidence and credibility amongst his peers. I don't see it as that big of a deal if..

Yes, but wait until he's made an even $100

75% of CB thinks it's great. 100% of CB would be livid if it was at BYU or a ref

Is the other kid a proficient receiver able to catch the ball most of the time?

Apr 18, 11:26am

Make him give it back, there are just too many ways for that deal to go sideways

Apr 18, 11:28am

I was thinking lower to a quarter to be more fair, but should really return it

this is his chance to learn dynamic pricing. tell him to charge $2 for 3rd and long. test the market
