Kudos for sticking to his beliefs but he would have made a killing by saying yes and doing nothing more.Last night was the first time I've ever watched this show.Never seen one turned down either.I've seen parts of lots episodes, but I've never seen a $4M buyout offer before.
to the nose filter dude for sticking to his guns.
IIRC the girl on the US version won her money or fluked into it and has no real experience or knowledge.(Can't be bothered to google it but I think this is true)
Shes a self made millionaire. From wiki:
Watching it now. Don't see Cuban or Foxworthy.
Nope.Good episode tonight I thought.The sharks are definitely "meaner" this year - no doubt they figured out what drives ratings.I think the last guy made a mistake not selling his odor neutralizer company / patent.Watching it now. Don't see Cuban or Foxworthy.
Yeah I know. Cuban was there last week, and the previews for next week show Foxworthy. They must be "special guest sharks" for a few episodes.Watching it now. Don't see Cuban or Foxworthy.
That guy did the right thing....that product is a gold mine, especially once it gets into the mining/oil industry. Hell, he had 3 million $ guaranteed just by his saudi contract IIRCKudos for sticking to his beliefs but he would have made a killing by saying yes and doing nothing more.Last night was the first time I've ever watched this show.Never seen one turned down either.I've seen parts of lots episodes, but I've never seen a $4M buyout offer before.
That guy was a complete fool. He threw away a lot of money. That seems like a great product, but he has no idea how to get it out there.Nope.Good episode tonight I thought.Watching it now. Don't see Cuban or Foxworthy.

Also was he offered 7% royalty on gross sales or just profit?If it was on all future gross sales he's an idiot as with the right people running it they can easily do 2-5 million and possibly much more a year in sales if that dimwit previously did 500k.That guy was a complete fool.

I disagree. Who is to say that the sharks don't just pay the 150K and then a few years down the road, find out that the product sucks or that a bigger company is doing a better job with a similiar product? They can then just write the 150K off as a bad decision and the original guy now has nothing (no company, no royalty, nothing).I agree that the dude was a doofus though and it was annoying how he couldn't just say "yes" or "no".Seriously.

LMAO, the first thing I said when he said he was calling his wife was "WIFE?!"They did play audio of a womans voice on the phone though, it was probably his "angel"Funny too when he said he was calling his wife. You know damn well his wife's name was Steve.His constant look of
If those guys can't make his product into a money maker, then I highly doubt he could by his brief pitch.'eoMMan said:I disagree.

He had nothing to lose with him in charge of the company. Also he was getting 150k upfront with royalties. If the company flops at least he gets 150k out of it.
$225K. The last shark that jumped in upped the offer.If those guys can't make his product into a money maker, then I highly doubt he could by his brief pitch.'eoMMan said:I disagree.

Just discovered this show after reading an interview with Daymond John and came to post about this.Torrent for entire season 1 on Isohunt
He wanted 1 million dollars for 15% ownership? Does this guy have any clients yet?
Not aware of anyone undergoing the surgery yet.....the best part is you get to recharge it at night by sticking an electronic needle into your head while you sleep
The lady had it right when she said it's the craziest idea she's ever heard. Kudos to her for bowing out almost immediately. You'll need a new surgery every time you want an upgrade? What kind of drugs was this guy on when he came up with this?
Some pretty heated exchanges between the sharks wanting in.
at cooler guy wanting his coolers back.
Yep, and he made the right choice in funding partners as well IMO. Kevin just wants a royalty check for minimal effort... hence, of course, his shark status.I wish Kevin could have talked to the guy's wife though.I've become a big Barbara fan - she generally funds the little guys.The girl with the maternity gowns made a HUGE mistake not partnering with Barbara.
Right on all accounts.That woman was lying through her teeth when Barbra laid out the 3 conditions, it was quite obvious, then she confirmed it.

Can't believe nobody had ever thought of that before. Hell, when you go to home depot; the scrappers and brooms are on the same aisle. I bet there's some product development guy somewhere kicking himself in the nuts.
You knew it was a great idea when every shark was excited. I agree with the other posters he took the right deal. I'm a big fan of the Fubu guy (forget his name at the moment).
Daymond and Kevin are the best 2 guys to go into business with, with that broom scraper product. Man, seeing that guy come up with that idea makes me wanna invent some obvious little product to get rich with.You knew it was a great idea when every shark was excited. I agree with the other posters he took the right deal. I'm a big fan of the Fubu guy (forget his name at the moment).
"Barbara when you die you're going to hell and you'll be forced to try and sell those gowns."I think all the sharks are impressive.
I think he'll be fine. He's not a shark - he got a good offer and he took it. He certainly left a little bit on the table but too many of these entrepreneurs try to fight with the sharks - and that's always a losing proposition. If it had really been an awful offer the other group of sharks would have beat it. I agree they're all impressive. Just the bald guy is my favorite.
Yep. I told my wife he could have gotten $100k easy.
Why risk losing possibly millions of dollars down the line for an extra 20k up front? I think the only costs for the guy so far has been for the prototype and pending patent. I doubt all of those total 80k in expenses. Also, Daymon Jones decreased his bid from 40k to 30k for a total of 70k when the guy wanted to call his wife. So I doubt either group would have gone higher.
Roger does this all the time.
Robert... the guy that sits on the end next to Barbara.
