I can't? Yes I can, I just made an offer. To be specific, I'll start the bidding at $20 for all the YC S2015 pitch ideas of the companies accepted to interview.

- coralreef 11y agoAnd no one will take you on your offer. Offer all you want, but it would appear that you can't buy ideas. If you could, than we would have tangible evidence of it as a marketplace for ideas.
- solve 11y agoThere's something wrong with you dude.
- coralreef 11y agoWhat's wrong with me? I'm really just saying that if business ideas were buyable, we could buy them.
- solve 11y agoThe problem isn't lack of buyers. National intelligence agencies spend billions per year buying information. Corporate espionage groups spend immense amounts to get access to information. Lots of buyers exist for information about businesses. The problem is the sellers. The businesses don't want you to have it. And back to my original point, if the businesses didn't care, they'd just be giving this information away for free. Them refusing to sell it actually makes it worth more on the market, which you'll know if you're familiar with market dynamics.
- coralreef 11y agoSure, but data isn't an idea. Information is not an idea. Ideas are unproven and are mostly intangible. Do you have any examples of actual, real ideas that were sold or bought as is, at any time in the history of mankind? Any kind of idea that was purchased and turned out to be profitable? If the problem isn't lack of buyers, than why haven't we come across a single person who makes a living purely by selling ideas?
