Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) Shell Prices By William Cate Published July 1999 [http://home.earthlink.net/~beowulfinvestments/] [http://home.earthlink.net/~beowulfinvestments/globalvillageinvestmentclubwelcome/]You can't buy a clean public shell in North America. I doubt you can buy a clean shell anywhere in World. I offer a startup spinoff service because your spunoff public company is clean. Also, spinoff format allows me to arrange a European Million-Dollar Private Placement for your newly spunoff public company. My startup spinoff fee is equal to retail price for an OTCBB shell. I offer a better deal. However, since most entrepreneurs think OTCBB shell and not spinoff, I'm not overwhelmed with clients. As noted above, [Spinoff Interest] I can't handle more than four startup spinoff clients a quarter. To date, I've never had four new clients in any quarter.
In 1998, OTCBB shell price was US$125,000. In January 1999, OTCBB shell price moved to US$150,000. The increase was explained by shell sellers "as expectation that 3,400 non-reporting companies, being delisted from OTCBB, would rush to buy OTCBB shells." The rush didn't happen. Most non-reporting companies are being delisted from OTCBB, without a whimper. However, I moved my startup-spinoff fee to US$150,000. The attorney receives US$75,000, auditor earns about US$15,000. Incidental expenses are about US$10,000. I'm paid US$50,000.
In past two weeks, an experience OTCBB shell buyer appears to be offering US$350,000 for OTCBB shells. He's a stock broker, who has worked with shell buyers for over a decade as an agent. He should know value of an OTCBB shell.
I'll contact several more professional shell sellers. I intend to confirm doubling of shell price before I adjust my startup-spinoff fee. Assuming OTCBB shell price has gone to US$350,000, I'll seek an explanation for more than doubling of OTCBB shell price, in past six weeks. If OTCBB shell price is now US$350,000, you can expect that I'll double my startup Spinoff/Private November 1, 1999. The reason that I added this article was to give you advance warning of probable increase in costs of doing a startup spinoff with me. If you have any interest in doing a startup spinoff with me, I strongly advise you to arrange a fee consultation with me this month. Otherwise expect to pay more if you wait until November.
