I'll offer you £1 for 102% of your business and anything else you invent or think of ever.
Do you want to go to the back of the forum to think about it?

Would love to see the dragons ask for 51% of a business one day and see what the reaction is from the victim.

Do you want to go to the back of the forum to think about it? I have made an estimation that if everyone in the local area buys two sausage roll a month (excluding people who do not eat pork), I will sell 2 million sausage rolls. I also have vegetarian ones which I am about to market. I have one person in America who is interested in buying one and have the facebook wall post to prove it. |

Did I mis-hear or did that last guy (who Theo invested with) say he owned and developed and sold Net Flix?
If so, not suprised at Theo's decision. |

Didn't think anyone was going to invest in the i[talk]cafe, but seeing the website, it does look good.
Loved the Zombie Game.... ![]() And the Zapper website....didn't want any bar-code I typed in. ...it'll make millions.

Nobody would make any money from me as I am a reviewer for my local library and how do they know what state the CD's and books are in before they give a price

& also how does a bar code show a "Value", for example a book bought from Waterstones will show a different value from one bought in ASDA, surely, the barcode is different for different shops.?
As mentioned in a post above...it didnt accept any of my books either

You mis-heard, it was something similar, but not Netflix, which is an American company anyway.

The price depends on what the store has assigned to that barcode, which may or may not be the same as the list price. The value offered is anyway way below list price. |

I often wonder why they got rid of Richard Farleigh, he was quite good. Its a bit of a shame about Hilary, it must be awful when they take up worse offers than hers from another Dragon.

I liked him - as far as I remember he was generally affable with the pitchers, negotiated with them quite reasonably, was quite positive, and invested relatively often. Probably not what the programme-makers were after

They are so clever. I thought that book business sounded great until they asked the question bout how much his fellow investors put in for 10%.
I would have been duped by all his talk of £100, 000 turnover Does anyone want to buy a sausage roll business from me? I have sold one for 50p at a charity baking sale but I value my business at £1 million pounds over three years . |

There is a huge difference between what a small startup is worth and what an established profitable business is worth. I thought the Dragons would understand that.

Did anyone else think the sign language guy over did his facial expression when explaining that the offer was for 30%? I think he thought it was outrageous!

After having a bit of a play, DVD box-sets worth £30-£50 seem to get offers of £3. While older ps3 games I am offered 20p. I would rather give them to charity at that price.
New games and DVD don't seem to be listed either. |

I think Simon Woodruffe (long forgotten Dragon) had the series marked right when he said 'it was more about certain people making a name for themselves, we weren't supporting business or startups as I hoped, it was simply a way for some people to increase their power and ego' (*cough* Peter *cough*) |
