There are some established methods of determining value:
1. Let the tax assessors do it,and appeal if not happy.
2. Offer the item/company at auction.
3. Hire professional appraisers familiar with the market.Complain if their judgment differs from yours.
4. Have a bunch of people with no access to relevant information engage in wild speculative arguments.Ignore them.
What if a person in category 4 has several years of professional experience pertaining to the professions listed in categories 1-3?
I fail to see how expertise can make up for the lack of information.Do you KNOW how much Amiga,Inc. paid for the OS writing contracts or the contract terms,or what debts otherwise exist,or any other private information/See a privately held company can keep information to themselves.
I have seen several large building contactors whom everyone thought were riding high turn out to be extremely bankrupt. Their whole operations turned ought to be really leveraged with Other People's Money. REALLY OPM,that they had no right to use.Some of the officials are doing prison time now.
NOT implying Amiga,Inc is in that position,but without information even experts can only make a W.A.G.
