what's your asking price for your first born?
- electromagnetic 16y agoThat's what I'm wondering, I bet there's good money in child-flipping. You know buy a 3 month old, get them to the walking+talking phase and boot them off to someone willing to drop top dollar. (FYI for the downmodders: that's what's called a sick joke)
- joh6nn 16y agowell, thanks for posting that publicly: there goes the idea for my YC '12 entry.
- JacobAldridge 16y agoNot at all - ideas are worth nothing, but if you can prove the execution you're good to go. So own the idea, go forth, and execute some kids better than anyone else.
- jacques_chester 16y agoYou'll all be out-marketed by a company run by Amy Chua.
- electromagnetic 16y agoAh, but she only seems to deal with kids beyond the walking-talking phase, so there's potential for a partnership supplying her with kids for her to mentally whip into later life therapy.
- jacques_chester 16y agoI smell the potential for a vertically integrated megacorp. That, or a sitcom.
- cperciva 16y agoIsn't this what daycare centers are about? Buy-store-sell is economically equivalent to leasing out storage space, after all.
- micahb37 16y agoIt better not be very expensive. Jon is not a good looking man.
- NewMonarch 16y agoYeah, but my wife's cute. ;)

- acangiano 16y agoConsidering that couples pay up to 5 figures for private adoptions in Canada, the question may be less silly than one would expect. :)
