"100% of the proceeds from the winning bid will benefit the Glide Foundation, one of the most comprehensive service providers working with the poor and homeless in San Francisco. Mr. Buffett will sit down with the highest bidder and up to seven of your friends for lunch in New York. A mutually agreed upon date and time for the lunch will be selected by Mr. Buffett and the winning bidder"

So would I??

No, absolutely not.

Wow, love the guy, but negatron on that one.....

SE3P_to_E90 · 06-25-2007, 04:27 PM

negatron.. lol

you can have lunch with him... but... that doesn't mean you'll walk away with $107000 worth of knowledge... nor his insight and intuition in the money market.

Ninjaneer · 06-25-2007, 05:16 PM

If someone wins I can go as 1 of the 7 friends

MrFrizzle · 06-25-2007, 06:03 PM

Haha guys, you aren't paying $107,000 to have lunch with Warren Buffet....

you are paying that much to give it to charity!!

in that case...
me neither, haha

DasBlitz · 06-25-2007, 06:10 PM

Divided by 7 that comes out to 15 thousand a pop. You could easily resell to a bunch of people for 20k or so and make a profit.

Or if you really do it get 6 others to drop 15k and you get advice and ability to sit down with one of the richest men. To some that is worth it.

Look at us we spend 15k on modding cars. We are the crazy ones.

SE3P_to_E90 · 06-25-2007, 06:28 PM

but we have the parts on our car to show for it... and can resell it.
you can't necessarily resell this information if u plan to attend.

longtran · 06-25-2007, 06:31 PM

sorry, but who is this guy? can i start an auction to have lunch with me???

SE3P_to_E90 · 06-25-2007, 06:36 PM

he is the number one investor of alllll time... worth billions and billions.

Swoop · 06-25-2007, 06:36 PM

and billions

Not necessarily. If you learn good enough info, you can then use it in your business and then techniqually you are reselling that info. Or maybe you can write down/record the info and then sell it to friends/people.

He is a billionaire who knows the stock market. He is very knowledgable when it comes to money basically.

You could start an auction to have lunch with you, but especially for members of this forum it would have to include you installing some parts.

Swoop · 06-25-2007, 06:37 PM

He can bankrupt or financial enable a company by simply mentioning its name...

e92phreak · 06-25-2007, 06:38 PM

No... unless he's going to include you in his will

SE3P_to_E90 · 06-25-2007, 06:39 PM

this may be true... or using his info, you can use your personal experiences and publish a book...

yet, he already has a book produced (that's not readily availalbe to the public) regarding the secrets of investments, etc. i think i read some info on that little book on forbes (it was a summary)
