RE: Dave Brown's Dumb Things article
I'm sure glad you did not take that the wrong way.
I have nothing but the nicest things to say about you, you are not my enemy or rival, I did not want my comment misinterpreted.
You are not the only guy to be sitting on a container full of very decent(or very crappy!) arfs that did not sell. When you are getting the kits for $30 or something each, it APPEARS that you can do no wrong...but you don't know if someone ELSE is getting TWO containers at the same time, paying $20 for each, and already has $10,000 put away for a huge advertising budget. Your container arrives just as theirs does, or whatever. Or you got the factory seconds, or that kind of thing. There is a staggering amount of ARF product out there, a staggering number of Chinese companies looking for somebody, anybody to take a containerfull off their hands...and a staggering amount of unsold stuff sitting in warehouses here in the USA already. On the exclusive and interesting stuff, someone can do really well, but if it's neither exclusive or new, it had better be dirt, dirt cheap, or you won't move a thing. And dirt, dirt cheap means not worth your time to sell. Tough business!
