Let's see, if I give you $1000 dollars, you will, at some undetermined time in the future, sell me an undetermined amount of biodiesel at an undetermined price. Since there isn't really a "market price" per se for BD, you're going to have to come up with something better than that. I've heard of folks paying only slightly more for biodiesel than dinodiesel (rarely), or as much as $2.50 or more per gallon, and some home producers share their production with friends for the cost to produce (as low as 60 cents per gallon) or for a little help collecting WVO. So market price is very subjective, actually it is whatever the market will bear.
Even so, let's assume that I use BD, but don't make my own, and that the discount you'll give me is a very generous $1 per gallon below market price. That means that I would have to use 1,000 gallons of BD to make my money back. At a consumption rate of 20 gallons per week, it would take me nearly a year to break even. And this is on top of the time it will take you to build the plant and start production. Of course you said that alternately you'll sell the fuel and cut me a check for the difference, but that plan would still require you to sell 3 million gallons to pay back the original investors. To meet the plan discussed above for 3000 investors using the same 20 gallons per week would require you to divert around 8200 gallons per day of production. How big did you say your plant was going to be? Oh, that's right, you didn't say. And I really doubt that you'll discount your fuel $1 per gallon. This whole deal sounds like snake oil to me. You'd have better luck getting investors if you could promise to sell x gallons at x price for x months or years and put it in writing. -BRAH -----Original Message----- From: mymommyathome [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 28, 2004 4:48 PM To: biofuel@yahoogroups.com Subject: [biofuel] I am building a biodiesel Plant in Nebraska USA If you really want to make biodiesel a household item, think about investing in its commercial production. It is simple a commercial plant cost 3 Million. I need only 3,000 investors who want to invest $1000 dollars. Here is how you make a return. For every $1000 dollars you invest you will get an allotment of gallons of biodiesel every year at less than market price (to be determined) you can either take delivery of the biodiesel or sell your allotment and we will send you a check. We need as a group make it economically feasible for biodiesel to become a reality. Once we are up and running we will be developing small production units available to everyone who wants to buy one. We also will come to your area all over the world and help you set it up you home production unit for safety reasons. We want everyone have the opportunity to make your own biodiesel and use it! If you are interested to invest send me an email at [EMAIL PROTECTED] no obligation to invest. Once we reach 2,000 investors then we will send you a email asking for a decision.
