[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 9220230, member: 4348"] If they don't want to sell...probably higher than 30% of what they made annually. If they are willing to sell... Let's take the 150 million figure (not that this is what we should use, but it was a number put up in this topic as a number put out there). You are looking at a minimum offer of 600 to 750 million for something to maybe be acceptable. AS long as it's not on fire, that is something to consider (IMO). If it's on fire, that's an entirely different position (on fire meaning it's a sinking ship, it's going down pretty quick, it may be worth something now but will be worthless soon...etc). D&D is not a sinking ship right now (once again IMO). If they don't want to sell...you are going to need to find what will make them WILLING to sell. 30% premium isn't going to do that...that's laughable. 3 Billion may not even be enough, or it may be overkill. It depends on the situation, emotions involved, reasonable accountants involved...etc. [/QUOTE]
