I wanna buy Looksmart...

I wanna buy Looksmart but need some capital. So I need some others to come onboard with and stump up some cash. We'd also need to do the deal before M$ buys them...

Those interested leave me a note here...

I too have a fiver, although that needs to stretch to a Zinger Tower meal for dinner too, leaving, erm, one pound and twelve pence.

Look out LS - we're comin' to getcha!

$299

Steady on dude! Leave the rest of us the chance to participate in the buyout - you're worse than Bill Gates flashing around sums like that!

I have a two-for-one Happy Meal voucher (redeemable for 0.01 pence cash). Is that enough for a controlling share in Looksmart UK?

I will check between my couch cushions for pesos - but it will be a race to see what devalues faster - Mexican currency or LOOK stock.

normally Scot's are considered as tight as a ducks Ars@,

however for such a bold venture, i think i can donate my worldly possesion asset value of about �0.01 GBP - i want the chairman's seat for that.

Also i think the name should be changed to 'LOOKDUMB', so when were in meetings with the chaps from MSN, we can all hide in the corner sniggering at them.

Looking at the amount which has been raised so far it's about $15 dollars of which would be better spent on 2 new domain names, build a couple of web sites and I bet you would get more traffic than I have ever got from Looksmart

If you looked around for domain names you would even have change from your $ 15

The $ 299 being offered would buy all of us a zinger meal and a large coke

Well as part of the rebranding and becuase of my controlling shares amounting to �0.023 I want our new company to be called looksomewhereelse.dude

Zinger meals on the chap with the $299.00

Its your choice a Zinger meal or Looksmart share?

really tough - i could eat a scabby horse at the moment!

And if I invest my �3.37 (in coppers), will this money likely increase due to them being dropped by M$?

If it will increase, what are the expectations?

P.S. I would like to be a millionaire by November 1st, so if this investment won't pay off that quickly, I'll need to join a pyramid scheme instead.

there not worthless and we don't hate them.

Thats why were offering hard cash in many currencies and deciding who gets what, but as long as the Zingers are there - its a deal.

We luv 'em to bits.

I'll chip in a fiver on condition that I personally get the job of firing whoever made the decision to rip everyone off. It's my job to do that... I bags it before anyone else... mine.... all mine.... do ya hear?
