Hey fuckers!
Seymour Duncan is publicly shopping for someone to redesign their website.
What do you think... if we pooled ourselves, could we pull it off? 
Obviously we'd have to quote them $40,000 or they wouldn't take us seriously.
(And don't even think about contacting them by yourself and lowballing us for $35,000!)
Get er done.
Da
Thanks guys, I'll be sure and let them know you're on my team. How much do you want?
If it's just the three of us I figure 18-20k should be fair for my part depending on timelines, and I want an advance.
I just eat ari's bagels when he's done.
I'm in for 40k
Have them call my agent.
My window film has submitted a bid.
seriously x, gotta play this one straight with you. It's going to have to be handled by one person and we'd subcontract to that person based upon whatever role we took on. The budget would have to be split based on roles with room for some scope creep to go to whoever took on the additional roles.
All we can do is estimate a budget based upon the scope of the project and not the individuals working in it and then work around the limitations of the budget split realistically across the project phases....
planning $x design $x production $x testing $x delivery $x
etc etc
Full body massages $x
I'll play bass on it if you need someone.

Word, something like this. Definitely need someone in charge though.

I still can't tell if this is serious or not. If it's serious, call me.

So that's what, maybe 2 Months work, between, lets say, 4 people...@$40k dived by 4, $10k each over 2 months. $5k a month, minus a chunk that the shopping cart and secure payments setup will take.
So about $800 a week. McDonalds pay $700 a week minimum for squirting ketchup onto buns.
*squirts ketchup
Are you hiring anyone to cost this correctly?
It's serious, and I think Storm is our project manager.

In which universe is that?
The one where mickey dees burger jockeys get blow and hookers, duh.
Chez nous they can only make 360 before tax (9 dollar minimum wage), and that's with a full 40 hours.
Minimum wage here is 7.25. So $290 a week full time. I want to go overseas and flip burgers. :(
Screw this site thing, i just figured it out - we can get rich shipping fry cooks from Kent to Macclesfield!
I can get spatulas wholesale!
