Well this thread took a weird turn. I thought it was really gonna be a good one to watch for a couple months. Smh

Definitely not what I thought, wanted or expected!

...I had never heard the term "blue sky" before, so I asked an attorney friend what it meant. If you were referring to the "$100,000 dollar statement" that I made on a deleted post, I have a signed check from one of my customers in that exact amount in my safety deposit box...

My choice of using the term "blue sky" was used in reference to the intangible value of a business. I have no knowledge of your previously deleted thread.

How does one know the "intangible value of a business"?

 

[Chief Sapulpa]

Your stellar reputation (blue sky) adds to the value of the assets (tools & equipment) but unless it's handed off to someone you've mentored or personally endorsed there is a significant loss of the blue sky value.

Well, I obviously missed a lot by being away from the computer. There's always somebody.

I wish I could afford to get you started making chips on a project for me!

It's tough when you're selling a business with all the tooling, clientele, etc... to know what the value is, because you're not selling "you" which is usually the most valuable component. I think this is particularly true when you're selling a trade or a skill. If you train somebody then the business name will carry weight and reputation, but if you sell to just anybody that isn't going to continue your brand, then honestly I'd say the value is the tools and materials and not much else...

Hence, "blue sky", or lack thereof..

I think if you're a serious buyer the seller would want to discuss this privately...

These were mostly rhetorical questions since it sounded like he was selling tools, not a business. Much like your blue sky comment.
Please don’t be offended and report me again.

 

[Chief Sapulpa]

No offense taken unless you were personally attacking me, which in this case you were not.

Now I understand, thank you! Tools and materials was the intended goal, but after many discussions this morning with various influential people, they all said DON'T SELL, so I am going to take their advice and keep doing what I do.
