  Sadly, it seems to use their interface you've got to be Accredited. (I've logged in and tried) So I can't actually buy stock in their system. It's not quite as easy as popping on and plunking in a credit card number. Not that shares are like that in real markets either, but it's actually a little more manageable. Apart from a link to the service, Shares Post being another one (http://www.sharespost.com/companies/facebook http://www.sharespost.com/companies/facebook). I've also popped on to SharesPost but it's also 'pending approval' How does a layman go about buying "what he can afford" in terms of Facebook shares?

    you just have to lie and say you're accredited.

      Hmm... and when they check your credentials? I'm not sure it's as easy as getting around the age-verification on porn sites (are you 18? yes / no) Maybe there are investment conglomerates out there - or group buy in / mutual clubs where I can put in a share of the money towards the actual facebook purchase.

        well, try it and find out.
