In this situation, it's important to consider the arrangement you have with your friend regarding how profits are split and the context of the transaction.
You sold 18 eggs to your friend, which means you incurred a loss of potential sales for those 18 eggs since you can't sell them to anyone else. However, if your initial agreement is to split profits from sales of eggs you both sell, you can decide how to handle this specific sale.
1. **If you consider it a straightforward sale**: You sold the eggs to him, and since those are now his property, you keep the full amount from the sale of those eggs. You don’t give him anything from that sale.
2. **If you consider it as part of your business arrangement**: You could consider sharing a portion of the profit because it's part of your overall egg-selling activities. However, since you are selling the eggs to him, giving him half of what you made from selling the 18 eggs might not make sense as it contradicts the nature of the transaction (a sale vs. a profit-sharing arrangement).
In conclusion, it’s reasonable for you to keep the money from the sale of the 18 eggs, as you sold them to him, and he is now responsible for what he does with them. You could have an open discussion with him to clarify expectations and ensure you both agree on how to handle similar situations in the future.
