To which my buddy replies....My site could make you 20-30% more than what you have now, you never know". And the guys reply....."We'll if thats the case, you'll be doing great only giving me 10% more" LOL.

I am not "the guy" quoted above but I easily could be. I've given the exact same sort of response to dozens of random blowhards who want me to "test" my traffic against their dubious offers.
I'm no traffic baron but I got the traffic I have by working hard for it over a really long time. I monetize it the best I can. The chance that some rando dude's rando offer is going to work better than whatever I'm currently doing? Pretty slim. I've been down that road dozens, hundreds,
thousands of times.
So, yeah, you want to taste the meal, you might as well buy it.
Of course I take a different view if I'm approached by somebody I know, or somebody from a brand I respect. But oddly enough, the people I know and respect usually approach with cash in hand, they aren't trying to get something-for-nothing like the random cold-approach guys.
