Interesting Office Chat Today...
 

If you were given 1 million dollars and were told that if you spend the full 1 million within 24 hours you would also be given another 1 million to keep what would you blow the cash on?

The deal is though, you have to spend the money on something animate, meaning you couldnt blow a mill to have a bunch of hookers blow you ;)

You must have something to show for the money at the end of 24 hours and any and all purchases MUST be finalized within the 24 hours alotted.

We had a few good suggestions like buying a house or two but that would take longer than 24 hours in all likelyhood to finalize the sale, same deal with cars unless you went to a used car dealership, even then you might have issues in respect of licensing etc.

So what would you blow 1 million on in order to be given a further 1 mill that you get to keep.

Hookers

Go to Vegas and place 1 million on red.

111731 domain names or buy about 500 nice xenon servers.. or buy tons of furniture or lots of expensive cars..

Read the conditions again ;)

You could physically have all that in your possesion within 24 hours?

I would spend it on candy


:helpme

pichunter :thumbsup

Mwahaha :thumbsup

i would buy pichunter.com empire

I'd buy stocks, you could accomplish that in 24 hours assuming it wasn't a weekend.

damn you're too quick

you could spend the next mil finding the cure for aids

million dollar deposit on 5mil house

Yeah but you need to have something pyhsical in your hands within the 24 hour time limit, im guessing stock certs would do though as that wasnt stipulated during the office convo we all had haha.

Could you really buy 1 mill in stocks and get it finalized within 24 hours though? Kinda makes you wonder why there is so much fraud in the money markets if that is the case :helpme

But then you havent actually purchased anything only left a deposit :Graucho

And it would also take longer than 24 hours to finalize the sale.

Not really as easy as you may think blowing 1 million LOL

a few cars. Easy

It probably wouldn't be that hard to buy $1 million in pure gold or diamonds in 24hrs.

24 hours would cut it close...

...but I'd take a trip to one of two places I'm thinking about and buy some rocks that people love to blow too much money on.

1m could go fast ;)

and would be physically in my possession...


:thumbsup :thumbsup



DAMMIT BRISK, you beat me to it by a few seconds ;)

Exactly, there are plenty of exotic auto places in the city. Dezerland, just go in there buy a bugatti, a lambo, and a lil something something on the side and you should be squared away on that 1million. And for a little extra they will deliver it same day to where ever. Not very difficult.

Or, buy Kristal for everyone attending a yankee's game. Or some shit like that.

i'd reserve the penthouse suite of every hotel from ny to vegas

1 nice classic, fully restored airplane

drop a million there easily

Yeah gold / Diamonds were the only things we could really come up with that could almost be guaranteed a sale finalization within 24 hours.

Theres gotta be more shit though.

As for cars, well yeah they can be bought but how soon could you have one delivered? It usually takes a dealership a month or two to deliver brand new cars at least, specialized cars would prolly take the same if not a little longer.

Cars depreciate in value quickly, plus they're cumbersome to deal with, you'd have to buy at least 4 high end cars probably just to get to $1 million, plus there are licensing and registration issues.

Jewels or precious metals are the way to go IMO.

Buy an autograph from your neighbor for $1 million and tell him to give you 90% back next week.

true true


but question for ya...


What exact starting geographical location is this game starting at?

that could make a difference in the purchasing of some things...

..within the 24hour limit...



Say if I lived in S. Africa, no problem with the diamond issue within 24hours...etc...



also, if I lived in LA or could get there fast, a shopping trip for all sorts of gawdy shit in Beverly Hills could be done for 1m in a day's time no problem...

From what i recall a location wasnt specified however i think the guy was talking about being located in the US as that is where our offices are lmao

Location: Location: Location: Location: Location: Location: Location: Location: Location: Location: Location: Location:



:)


I'd figure it'd be something asked...

if you life in BFE and you need to 'take' or view or sign docs to close the deal, the location would certainly be an issue, 1m deals and fax machines aren't so , uhm, congruent? :)

Mwahaha :thumbsup

buy an aston martin, paperwork and shit can be finished in 24 hours easy

if you lived near those groovey posh auction houses, I'm sure you could drop a M on some old famous person's bed pan or car or somethin' ;)

:thumbsup :thumbsup


or buy someone's short ICQ number on ebay :)

Good call on the auction house we never even thought of that lmao

I sale you short uin - 1 meeeeeeeeelllllliiiiiiioooon dollars on Ebay ;)

~"I'll tell you what I'd do man...two chicks at the same time."

... "That's what you'd do with a millions dollars, two chicks at the same time?"

..."Damn right! always wanted to do that and with a million dollars, I think I could hook that up cause chicks dig guys with money."

..."Well not all chicks."

..."Well the kind that would double up on guy like me would."
