just been looking around to pass the time more than anything at the costs of different rounds,

few people asking for upto 10 times the value of the round, isn't that asking a bit steep really? or is it just me?

yes my oppinion is very high , but the way things are at the moment people are insecure they come out of work and have redudency , they want to pay the bills so to them all looks good for 10 x but when they find out how much work is involved in it they think again , you can tell this also by all the difrent members on here over last 2 years , as soon as economy picks up a lot of people will go back to 9 to 5 jobs and price will go back to 3 x 4x 5x ,

I just dont get it, Spend your first years potential takings buying a round. Bound to lose some custies cause your face dont fit. And still have to canvas / leaflet for new customers.

10K would buy you an awful lot of canvasing and leaflets. ..... IMHO

at least you would be earning from day 1.       other bizzes you spend 10k and then find you are still spending afterwards,such as on a market stall  or burger kiosk.  Quite near me is a bus cafe  that has changed hands twice this last year  buying gas thats another expense then theres the generator  and trips to the shop for bread/onions ,meat,cheese  all add up bigtime

Yeah you will have cashflow but you aint earning, market stall or kiosk you are probably buying stock eta. This   is purely buying goodwill. which has little of no residual value.. It doesn't make sense to buy a 1k list for 10k.
You have to increase the turnover sufficiently to earn back your 10k

If you start with nothing you may not be earning from Day 1 but its a lot less to lose if you mess it all up. Also you are only trying to recoup a minimal investment..

I can however see the merit in buying a round at a sensible price. But a whole years worth of takings??
