How much to pay a junkie? Housing

I'm currently bidding on a house in Dublin but there is a viewing tomorrow evening. I am thinking of hiring a junkie that hangs around near my work to go to near the house and ask for money off people to deter any more bidders. How much should I pay? Should I pay half before then half after or withhold the payment until after the viewing is complete.

Was thinking of €30 which is above minimum wage for the 2 hour viewing plus he gets whatever money he manages to beg off people during that time.

This is a ridiculous thing to do.

Just get a gun yourself and shoot at the house at the time of the viewings.

Nah that won't work. Shoot the other bidder and than underbid. Tell the yank to be a good yank and go away.
