The published range
$100,000 to $2,000,000+. Polyshares buys for its own use rather than brokering, and publishes no sector limits and no headcount minimum. Its founder, Ryan Lock, has said publicly that the records it wants most are the messy ones: the drafts, the back-and-forth and the fix, not the clean final file (Ryan Lock).

The license terms
Defined term, not perpetual, and client data is excluded. You keep the originals. Polyshares reads a sample before paying, so the sample you send decides the number. Build the inventory first, then send the sample that shows the most history.
