Geeze. Didn't realize they'd hit 11B in valuation, though we don't talk about them as often as AirBnB and Uber. I guess the question then becomes does Pinterest see it as being worthwhile to buy Etsy out or do they just run t

Etsy moves to buy Pinterest in the next week. This would seriously undercut their market. Though how will this handle people pinning other people's products? Does the pinner get a cut if someone buys someone else's product through

What qualifies as the necessities and basic niceties? That's a very broad category that fluctuates based on where you live. Necessities + basic niceties in my current area cost a significant multiple of somewhere else like the Midwest
