| | LUGNET LEGO set...
|
|
This may be a little far fetched but... How about getting a LUGNET LEGO set made. Maersk does it, Velux did it, among others. You could then sell the set on LUGNET (or elsewhere) for profit. The biggest problem with this idea that I can see is the (...) (22 years ago, 12-Apr-02, to lugnet.admin.finance)

Hi Suzanne, I am eager to see, and to brainstorm with you, ways to make a site like this profitable. If anyone deserves to make a profit and employ at LEAST one person, it is LUGNET.
