You should consider how much programmer jobs pay per hour and commission someone at a similar rate. $20 is laughable, an insult even. I went to a comedy show last night and my partner couldn’t go because she was ill. I offered her ticket to a guy who was asking at the start of the line. He offered $20. Fuck no. I paid a lot for these tickets. I’d rather it go to waste than you score some incredible deal on my back.
Up your expectations for what a person’s time is worth.

I’m an engineer, I volunteer my time alot, if it’s something simple I don’t take money for it. Obviously I’m not trying to compensate them like they would get from a full time job
