You can write any legal disclaimer you want. That doesn't mean shit though. If you want business, you'll need trust, and writing a fancy promise on a web site isn't going to do it - not even if a "lawyer" writes it for you (ooohhh, fancy!). You'll need to build a reputation. Word of mouth will be your BEST marketing available. It always is.

As for your ideas, I could punch holes in most of them, but I won't. Well, one............... Advertising here. Yes, I'm sure you would be able to sell LOADS of $W and $T here (hell, I'll buy them), but that's not the problem. The problem is going to be you BUYING them. Can you name ONE person here who will sell them to you? I kinda doubt it. But even if you could name 10 (no way in hell), that's NOTHING.

Keep at it, work on that business plan... but I suspect you'll eventually come to the conclusions I came to a couple of years ago after I did my due dilligence.

Now go prove me wrong and make tons of money.

I was gonna do this as well Eejit, but after thinking about it, Id rather be playing poker with all the time I'd spend on this. TP is right, its a fuckload of work. Good luck though man, and I will definitely buy all of your stock and make you rich!

SOmeone just -repped me saying - "how are you going to buy them, your fucking nuts"

Im going to buy them by simply starting a business, and getting some capital. Its a simple business plan, then i go to my bank / the wales grant people, who are interested, get it set up, get my bankroll on the account, and start buying and selling.

Geez... its all explained here clearly, theres money to be made, its just a long winded thing.

The question didn't ask how you're going to find the capital to buy them, it was how you're going to find sellers. That seems like one of the major roadblocks so far.

Capital - business grant from the WDA 9 wlesh development people, simple enough)

Capital - bank loan for businesses as i know my bank manager well and he plays poker and oferred to help me set this up.

Basic capital ill have probably is $50k - $70k, with $10k in neteller for intersite transfers.

marketing - speaking to google/yahoo. FOrums such as this, 2+2, a few im on. TP mentioned to me an ad in card player and the UKs poker mags, this is a genious idea and one im looking in to now. Also advertising on tables in sattys in stars, they have said this is fine and i can get somone i know to do this for me easily. I can also get an AD on poker night live on TV in the UK/europe for cheap, and their forum is huge, but badly made, so i am trying to get something going there too
