How handsomely? Will anyone step up and say? If this is happening, what is the going rate? If you were offered, but did not accept, what value would have changed your mind? (Everyone has a price) Are there really people out there that turned down half a million, a million, five million dollars? Are there smaller companies who would turn down 250K or 100k?
