You want to be careful. The Stanley twins built a
fantastic little steam car about a hundred years ago.
Random E. Olds liked it so much, he tried to buy it
from them. To discourage him and get him to leave them
alone, they told him they wanted one million dollars
for the rights to the car, an amount they were sure in
those days that he would find ridiculous. He took them
up on it and, being the gentlement they were, they
sold him the rights. Within a year, however, they had
designed and built a better steam car, and Olds gave
up building steamers and turned back to the gasoline
engined cars.
Are you SURE that price is high enough?
