I generally agree with your point, but no one has more information then the manufacturer. The local dealership (franchisee) only has their own information. So what's more likely, the manufacturer grossly over estimating the lifespan of

The trick to look out for is dealership recommended service vs manufacturers recommended service. I owned a Chevy Equinox and took it to a dealership for work around 80,000km (my numbers might be off, this was 5 or so years ago). They told

This is just a guess, but the former Soviet union countries that potentially would re-align with Russia aren't huge countries with big oil appetites. They likely don't have the means to start buying up billions of dollars in Russi

Do power users click on ads though?

That $30/year figure is likely averaged over the globe, therefore their North American stat is likely quite a bit higher. Given the quality of ads on twitter that I see, I suspect my value to them is much, much lower. Their ad network

Great video - very well done. It's easy to follow and you explain things in simple terms!

I think that's not quite what we want, however it might be what we have to accept. Ideally, people who are stick will stay home, rather than put on a mask and go out into public. However the current state (pre-pandemic) is 'be si

Gumroad deposits to Paypal, Stripe deposits to bank account. Seems like a big difference, no?

They look quite a bit different in person. The Ford Ranger has a very muted look where as most trucks these days have an agressive look. It looks like it was designed not to be noticed.

Maybe GM will see as an opportunity to electrify the Colorado instead of the Silverado (unless there are already public plans to do so).

The new Ford Ranger is a smaller size, but it's perhaps the worst looking truck available. I'm not sure what Ford was thinking there.

You are right, dealerships aren't by definition terrible places. It all comes down to how they are run. If they are run by people just looking to make the fastest dollar, then yes you are going to have a bad time. But some are run by p

People will also even put a credit card form on the site. See if people are actually willing to put down money. If you decide not to pursue the startup, just email them and tell them you are refunding their money.

If you follow Andrew on Twitter it would probably make more sense. He's an interesting guy and very active on social media which brings a ton of traffic to his site I'm sure.

I've sold a few small tiny businesses and some of the potential buyers are just students in their dorms with extra time on their hands. They have a bit of cash they can part with and just want to run a tiny site or Saas as a hobby more

The real learning comes from executing on even those dumb ideas. I learned more from 2 dumb Shopify sites I built and ran then listing out ideas.

I listed a project on your site, I can't remember if we found the seller there or not. However, good point about the pre-packaged apps. If someone describes it more honest, would you feel better about them? For example, if someone was

I've sold a few projects like this, ranging from $1,000 to $20,000. Some were a week or two of my time, versus the $20,000 exit was 3 years that I'm sure in this market would have been worth 3x that amount (such is life). I don&#

A reserve price just sets a target for the agent and they negotiate to that target. I'm sure there are some commission based structures out there that address this inbalance.

On the flip side, an agent is motivated to close the deal not necessarily get the highest price. If the agent gets 10% cut, they get $750 or $1050. Is $300 worth potentially souring the deal?

>I would also wonder if Shopify already has the data to be able to make the judgement call that this narrow price range doesn't have the demand. They have obviously made the decision that it doesn't make sense for a $134b compa

It's actually not a typo, just an awkward sentence. I thought the same until I read it a few times.

Likely has to do with the fact that if you want to build a community centre that has the capacity to serve your community in 30 years, you also need the budget of that community 30 years in the future. You can only build what you can reaso
