No purchase, no pay
"No purchase, no pay" (or "no prey, no pay") was a phrase used by pirates and privateers, of the 17th century in particular, to describe the conditions under which participants were expected to join expeditions or raids. The phrase describes a remuneration arrangement similar to a commission.〔(''The Sea Rover's Practice: Pirate Tactics and Techniques, 1630-1730'' ) by Benerson Little (Potomac Books, 2005)〕
==Meaning==
The term "purchase" in the phrase is used to mean success against piratical targets from whom booty might be successfully extracted.〔(''Daily Life of Pirates'' ) by David Marley (ABC-CLIO, 2012)〕 The premise of the phrase was that if the expedition did not succeed in extracting booty from the target, those participating in the expedition would receive no reward.〔(''Pirates of the Americas, Volume 1'' ) by David Marley (ABC-CLIO, 2010)〕
In the case of an unsuccessful raid, participants might receive nothing at all. But in the event that a raid was successful, loot was often shared equitably and democratically with clear ratios based on seniority and length of service.〔(''No man knows my grave: Sir Henry Morgan, Captain William Kidd, Captain Woodes Rogers in the great age of privateers and pirates, 1665-1715'' ) by Alexander Porter Winston (Houghton Mifflin, 1969)〕
