Default Hey guys...

Hey Lambo owners,

I myself am not a Lamborghini owner (though they are some of my favorite supercars especially the VT). To be blunt and to the point I am currently a college student working on a project in my Small Business and Entrepeneurship Class. I am here to find out some information from you guys and would be absolutely delighted if you wouldn't mind helping out. I can't disclose any details on what it is (it is of a sensitive nature). However, in the near future your input would be greatly appreciated and I would be thankful for it. Anyways, thanks for taking the time read this and I look forward to talking to you guys more. Oh, is anybody located in the SE Florida area? I am a student at Florida Atlantic University and your input would be especially valued in this undertaking. Thanks again.

-G. Cole

Without disclosing any details: I think this is going to be your one and only reply.

Maybe it's just a covert way of finding out what you all do for a living.

lol, no, its actually quite a large project that lasts an entire semester. I am undertaking this project here among other sites to do research on the market. To give you a general idea, it is a service/convenience that is aimed at exotic car owners and enthusiasts.

Jef, the reason I cannot disclose details at the moment is because, well quite simply, it is a business project for a class that could potentially be used for a real business in the future. I will give you guys more info when that is possible.

Diesel, I really am not interested what you do for a living. My interest is what you would like as a potential customer for this type of business.

Then why didn't you say that in the beginning? I really don't think anyone on here is going to steal your idea, nor could they really find any details from you that might give them a competitive advantage. Furthermore, I doubt the uniqueness you might create in some type of service business hasn't already been tried - you may not know about it. Giving us MORE details might give you better insight on whether or not someone HAS used your "business model" before - and you would then know what the validity of your project is at the very beginning.

Wow, whomever made the comment about bored kids on here in the winter hit the nail on the head! At least he can spell, though.

OK, so I was wrong. I will be giving you some input in the near future (without disclosing any further details of course).

The question is:

'Would you be so kind as to give me as many personal details as possible - you are in a high income niche - so I can tell my boss: there's the people with money, and then we can start to f*** them.

That was my last input in this thread.

Take care Eric.

I don't think it's that bad Jef..Come one, relax a little ..and if it is, well, don't lose too much time on me then, you'll be disappointed

I just thought the guy wanted input from us about about something he wouldn't tell us...

I took a class in my final year that was similar in nature. the course was called "Small Business" . Basically you had to develop a business on paper.

It was pretty much the practical application of everything that you had learned in your classes to that point (marketing finance,etc). The "term paper" was actually a business plan that, in theory, you would be able to turn over to a bank for financing.

I was fortunate enough to find business people who would take the time out of their busy schedule to answer questions and help point me in the right direction.

It would be a pleasure to help if I can.
