only a retard would think you are selling under duress and planning it for a year later. i hope i do not sound vulturish- but I do have the ability to get you the highest sale price possible. whatever terms and demands you have for staff etc you can work out later of course.

can i get this on lay away?

My crew are among the best in the biz, a new owner would be crazy not to keep them.

Steve Lightspeed

Steve:

I am interested in talking with you.

email marty at videopass dot com with a contact number

i can even talk to you tonight.

this thing is going to end up on ebay

if you retired at 40 you would be boarded to shit after six months. Work is good

lol, i was thinking the same thing........ :1orglaugh

let me bump it a few times in case some of the retards didn't see it the first few times :winkwink:

Depends on how bad you want me......

Yep. Get bored as hell and miss it. :upsidedow

maybe even sell it off to his top 100 webmasters.

Does Jordan come with the deal?

:1orglaugh you are nowhere near what it's worth...

That would be a disaster is there was both no lightspeed or Rochard :helpme

If Steve is the driving force behind the company and the reason for it's success then yes, he does matter. I've watched many companies (non-porn) get bought out by a larger company and eventaully go under because the drive behind the success of the company was no longer there. Even ones that were smart enough to lock in the driving force for a year or 2 as part of the purchase. Anyone buying the company will need to seriously consider him as a factor..

i would estimate at least $20,000,000 as a lowball estimate. 5 million is nothing these days, especially to retire in your 30s with

very logical, i just have watched over the years from a far and think that lightspeed's brand is so strong now that without steve it can still grow. my opinion is a credit to steve and his crew's investments.

thanks yoda.

hey man I'll make you payments and you can retire early.. you just have to keep tawnee under control :winkwink:

hardyhar. btw, the bay area here is star wars central with lucas valley ranch being local. it's overkill ya whookie :winkwink:

btw, your sig is too big and a trademark infringement. just a head's up :winkwink:

wow this is going to be massive

If any adult property will be sold at a high value, it will be Steve's , because of the brand he established. Well done.

Preferrably in a cabana boy outfit?

Interesting...

my first thought.. wish I had that kinda cash to take over a great company.

Wouldn't blame you a bit.

To the idiots saying hire a manager, lol.

I love ya Steve LightSpeed:)

Just one thing.
I really have no idea why anyone would buy an adult company these days. It's a volatile and unpredictable industry.
There is no single formula that spells success. The only element of value is the staff and the branding and not even those two things can gurantee success or returns on any purchase over even $500,000 in adult.

Correction disbarring Domains and technolgies, hardware.

I suppose to each there own and with millions at stake it would be my professional opinion for any investor comming into this business to make there own path. It would be cheaper and far less risky.
At best cheaper to start up and create a new brand IMHO.

With no Patents or proprietary properties it makes it even riskier.

Steve wont sell because adult businesses dont command a high enough ratio. Very high risk in this business and a highly volatile environment.

I have no doubt that if anybody can get somebody to lay down the cash it's Evan, but the problem is the perspective of the program owner, it's likely that whatever he will be offered he could make in a year if he kept working hard.... so why sell?

Steve's post sounds like musing :)

The only way he'd get close to $20M was if a publicly traded company was interested. Affiliates are fickle and not generally held under contract while bringing in the lion's share of the new business.

Not something I can see private money being risked on for a majority stake in active ownership.

All the big players already involved with adult would be better off spending that kind of money on their own existing (or altogether-new) projects.

Yeah plus the shell game is sooooooo silly... if ya sold 3 months ago ya coulda got stock at 5 bucks but oh look its only worth 3.50 now.. When it gets to .50 cents it might be worthwhile...

oh and their market cap is as big as noof and prvt... they are not in the same earning catagory as those companies...

Ya would be better off selling to playboy for stock :)

Some of you people talk like Steve is making more money than he can count. You people have a lot to learn but I'm guessing you never will.

Retirement is so boring Steve not a goal to have buddy

Exactly. Take Steve out of Lightspeed and you will have to find a similar person to replace him. So not only the money but also a top notch manager is required.

Without it you're buying content, contacts and history.

Do what I'm doing Steve step back from the day to day grind and letting others run it.

Will be interesting to see how this plays out. Ive been with lightspeed more or less since day one will be funny not to chat with him every now and then if he goes.
Coming up with a sale price would be very hard with walk in walk out deal but anything can be done. Good luck Steve and thanks for all the cash.

you obviously do not understand the immense value of these things called rebills.

you are one of the few that can actually produce that kind of money.

By the way Good luck with your sale Steve :)

its ahrd to find anyone willing to part with that much cash. In the adult biz ya usually have to milk it into the ground, though from what hear from some old time big programs thats not such a bad thing :)

You Go for it Steve, Its one of the best Brands in the business :thumbsup :thumbsup

Aren't we all making more money than we can count ?

I thoguht thats why we are in this biz:)

You know exactly what I mean. Someone said 20 million dollars for Lightspeed Cash in this environment? ahahaha

Anything is possible - for a price.

how about $5 and juicy's right testicle. i never liked the guy anyway.

over crowded since he stopped shaving.

Holy f*cking shit Batman.

Good luck Steve, and congrats

:thumbsup

:)


yeah cuzz in order to have 20 mil in the bank you have to have made 35 mil before tax... and do you really wanna give all that money away.. or could you just build whatever ya want for 20 mil :) or even 10 mil. I know I spent 2 years thinking on this one myself.

U sir drive a hard bargain

I heard you were :2 cents: :winkwink:

I think he found Jesus...

i can hear program owners panting right now imagining what kind of value there is in washing their cb rates downward with a pile of rebills. preservation is only one part of this possible offer that is a sexy politics of fear way to get multiple offers. there are a lot of folks out there who are sitting on plenty of capital and are sick of funding all the douches in mainstream who do not make money and never will.

Best of luck Steve, although I would be surprised to see someone in adult pay more than 6mo-2 years, when a "business" in general can be a much longer period of revenue.
