My initial thoughts are:<p>- Exclusive rights to the brand name. [You mean you invented the name and you&#x27;re going to let me use it?]<p>- Ownership of dot-com domain. [£3&#x2F;year]<p>- Professionally designed logo. [search for &quot;logo&quot; on google, find one you like, try and copy in Inkscape like I did [1]. It&#x27;s not gonna be brilliant but it will probably be as good as the ones shown and you can change it later when you&#x27;re earning £££&#x27;s]<p>- One page business plan. [Download a business plan template, fill in the questions. Fair enough though, this guy might be a genius at this stuff but I&#x27;d need to know a LOT more before spending $500]<p>- One hour personal consultation. [I can talk business-y stuff for an hour too. Especially if I&#x27;ve got a one page business plan I can go through point by point.]<p>And let&#x27;s say that the person selling these is a professional entreprenuer with the correct experience, and that these are a <i>bargain</i> because you&#x27;re going to get invaluable advice on starting up. Well - he&#x2F;she hasn&#x27;t done a very good job of conveying that on the site itself....?<p>[1] - <a href="http://simplyapped.com/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;simplyapped.com&#x2F;</a> (haven&#x27;t finished this site yet by the way)

Isn&#x27;t this kinda like the patent troll concept?

Very cute; but the pricing seems a bit low. I&#x27;d expect your support, your backing, your advice. You&#x27;re never going to fit a good logo design + domain name + advice in there for that little money.<p>For example; I own videoview.com, with a cute matching logo (<a href="http://howtowriteabusinessplan.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/video-view1-300x33.png" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;howtowriteabusinessplan.com&#x2F;wp-content&#x2F;uploads&#x2F;2012&#x2F;0...</a> ,) which I&#x27;d be interested to hand over because of a trademark dispute for the exact thing we were using it for (recruitment video interviews.)<p>I&#x27;m pretty sure you can create a successful business off of that domain, but there&#x27;s no way in hell it&#x27;d go for $500.
