No, never.
Actually, I did something slightly similar... Once upon a time...
I went up to Yahoo.com (online) to find out just how MUCH could it cost to advertise a Web site on their front page for 30 days... Don't know if it's still this way but this was a few years ago and it was a fill-in-this-form and we get back to you, so I did... I figured how bad could it be, 30 days front-page on Yahoo, just a one-line link to a site? 5 thousand? 8 thousand? ...
Once I got their reply, I sat down and staid seated for a good 10 minutes, and ever since that day I've never had the kohones to ask such a question again, lol !
Here's the answer:
25 thousand dollars, US.
No payments, but accept most any form of payment in full such as cash, cashier's check, credit card, etc...
As for me, I wouldn't quote any less than 40 thousand dollars, just for the asking.
Not that I'd take most folk seriously in this matter, not really.

Unless you are trying to grow your company quickly, why would you want too buy out a competitor. A lot of focus and effort, and you can grow your business to whatever size you wish.
As far as eliminating competition, this will never happen. Competition is good. Without Burger King, McDonalds would never be as big or as good as they are and vice versa.
Just my 2 cents.

Just curious I guess. I know he has a hard time paying venders on time. He has 2 toro Z' financed, 1 toro wb financed, and a JD Z 72 deck financed and mowing $10 cheaper than we are, doing driveways with a wb snow blowers for $15.00 / driveway - two stall, 6 inches and less - - anything over is $17.50. He is starting to kill me at those prices and the local LCO who does nothing but spray with a hose all day. Just a random thought! I get those once in a while!!
