--- Quote from: Sullivan on 17 Feb 2019, 19:51 ---Ok. If Brun just was going to keep the clock, fine. But if she sold it, Dora should get a cut. At least 10% as a finder's fee.
Also, that it sold for that much, that quickly, means that Brun left money on the table.

It would be a nice thing to do, and many would consider it an ethical thing to do, but Dora gave the clock to Brun without any conditions. Legally it's hers to do with as she sees fit.
"But Dora said..." HUSH! (Goat hoof over the speaker's mouf.) If the issue were to find its way into small claims court or in front of Judge Judy, the ruling would be "If it isn't in writing, it didn't happen."
DSL:
So, irrespective of whether Brun got took or Dora should get a cut, three grand gets you what in the way of Northampton living space?
This site seems to suggest about a month's rent, with a little left over for bagels, if you want to live in Northamption, a little less for nearby Amherst (with Dora as your neighbor) and about half that down the road in Springfield.
Not as bad as I feared; I figure Brun would have been able to swing a month in a linen closet with toilet, but not shower, privileges down the hall. New York, now ...
BenRG:
This is the first time that Jeph has suggested that Brun is sometimes still kind of teenage in her behaviour. This is something that I could see Sam doing and Faye in the role of Renee telling her to keep her cash out of sight! Of course, I think this really establishes how excited the whole 'new apartment' project excites her. She just had to go out and do something now and boy is she proud of her achievement!
However, more than anything else, I find myself wondering just what sorts of reserves Brun is sitting on with the rest of her surviving clock collection. I'm thinking that, if anyone had advised her to insure it, the fire at the bar would have left her an independently wealthy woman!

Money belt and croissant holster! I'm genuinely wondering what else Brun might be hiding in there. Could it be a Hammerspace storage spot? Could the harpoon be in there too?!?

Well, rent should be from their regular income, if the rental is to be sustainable. But you need money up front for a security deposit and any fees, and I assumed that was what Brun was thinking of.
brasca:
Aside from the clock sale I wonder how much income Brun has for this to be sustainable.
