Liability is your liability to broker that certain aircraft.

Percentage of the plane. Say a certain aircraft was 1.000.000. and I requested it at +3%.. The person who accepts it will get 3% from me (30k in this case).

o and also is it worth it to broker anything that has a pay percentage if i have the money?

You always earn more buying the plane for your own use... unless of course, the player is offering 25%+ markup.

Depends on the price though....you probably shouldn't be brokering a concorde for someone. If you have that kind of cash, save up for it and buy one yourself. No reason to tie up 230 million for someone else for 4 months....

At the right markup I would.  At 5% mark up that's 23,000,000 over 4 months which is roughly what you'd make for a plane that had a 240,000 DOP, only you don't have to adjust any rates for 4 days and you also don't need to worry about any gate rental fees saving you another (minimum of) 600,000 per day or 2.4M (6 50k airports and one home base gate of 300k).  (minus maintenance as well).

I say go for it, but it would be much better to buy yourself two 757's with the brokerage payment and completely drop a dookie on the Concorde's routes.  

So there is no right or wrong answer as long as you have the cash.  I've brokered about 20 Super 10B's in W3 but that's because the requests are marked up to make it worth my while.  Should I have bought planes?  Not really, I've got enough of a lead that I'd rather help the competition grow so that I'm not as bored.
