Everything has been invented.
...but man there are some cool things on this site:
www.thisiswhyimbroke.com/
I seriously want one of these for my office of evil.
Genius! Anti-theft lunch bags!

That site is ace - I'm going to find me a good gadget that I can get some cheap knock offs from China to sell to pillocks astute investors in Aus over the internet.
Pretty similar to
www.thinkgeek.com
except thinkgeek has some cooler stuff, and is worded allot more appealingly, ![]()
also, they dont just link to amazon.com
altho, a airsoft minigun would be cool haha!
Interesting selection EvlPanda.... www.thisiswhyimbroke.com/
If Laurie asked me to choose one of those products to flog here on the Breeze it would be the arcade light switch. (The pizza saw cutter would be my second choice)
Because they are relatively cheap (to purchase and to post), I'd buy a few thousand and store them in Adolf's spare room (next to the all the unsold air swimmers).
I kind of liked those Inflatable Walk On Water Balls.
Hey Elroy, I've only got a few fish left I even sold some this week as quite a few people had this happen to them:
Brilliant. A product that flies away. That's a step above a product that is designed to fail... The purchaser feels guilty instead of angry.
It's a top motivator. A crying kid watching their toy, that Dad bought for them from a guy on Seabreeze, just fly away onto the distance. Suckers...
Back to the marketing of the Arcade light switch.
In the 1st phase I would post a few freebies out to the serial posters.
Let the influential posters (cool kids) do the pimping unknowingly. 62mac, DavidJohn, Doggie, MarkAus, PR, MobDisc, Evl Panda (probably not Cisco).
Secondly use Nostalgia [Cue the music before reading on]
^^^^ Gunna^^^^
The world is full of em already - I'm gunna do this, then I'm gunna do that.
The fact is all ya gunna do is write more crap on seabreeze about nuthin - now tell me, Elroy, aint that the truth.
And now I'm gunna write crap about you writing crap complaining about me writing crap...
Done. ![]()
Don't steal my idea - it's still in the storyboard phase.
I was hoping I could work with you on this. It's gunna be huge.
You could store the stuff at your house, be the east coast distributor and national sales manager. I'm gunna contribute some ideas. We can split profits 45/65.
P.S. How's your daughter's car going?
I'll tell ya what Elroy.
Here's an opportunity of a lifetime - and I'm offering you the chance to get in on the ground floor.
I've just purchased a bunch of these and for or a minimal upfront outlay you can be my West Coast distributor.
Notice how they are selling on Amazon for $53.50 : http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005FEP6GE/?tag=047-20
Well as a special deal to all astute seabreeze investors I'm selling for only $36 including express post - get your pre orders now. They will land in Australia next week.
I like that Iphone case! It's practical and would be great for an older user.
Unfortunately that's the type of person that isn't Apple's prime target of 13 to 25.
One of the many generation y targeted marketing strategies involves Apple recruiting the cool kids (aged 13 to 17) in schools.
Everyone wants to have an Ipod like the cool kids.
In American Colleges the peer pressure continues. The influential cool kids can be an "official college rep" for the Iphone. www.apple.com/education/campusreps/
The brain activity of some wannabe Iphone using cool kids, studied using a MRI, was found to be similar to devoted Christians.
So all I'm suggesting is that these things won't sell themselves. Like the latest steam mop or the ab master pro 6600 these things are gonna have to be pushed, to the right audience.
If you get DJ onboard (and then work on 62Mac) then I'm in for sure. ![]()
But would it be possible if I could go by the title, 'West Coast Manager' instead?
The Iphone wallet should be marketed to the 40 to 55 bracket.
The SUP and Longboard forums would be perfect to convince mature types that they would require an Iphone (and will therefore require a special wallet).
Harness the cool kid talent and we'll be cranking the coin.
DJ (cool kid) has shown that he can market 'the SUP stoke' to the 40+ market while intertwining crocs sandles, Naish sub tankers, Kialoa paddles and after downwinda maccas meals.
Thoughts?
Good point about these iphone genuine leather book cases appealing more to the astute older generation.
What if I set up stalls in big service stations along Hwy 1 in places like Wiener World in Goulburn and Albury. I can target Grey Nomads passing through as they are getting their three veg and meat. Or maybe go to all those SUP events and target those more mature astute moody types.
This might be something I could get Cisco involved with?
Anyway if you must be 'a goody two-shoes' Adolf, I could get stickers made up. It would be best to use Chinglish on the stickers.
This will help minimise any potential future litigious actions. Stickers would read "Arcade switch not use in power home".
You could make the wallets out of elephants foreskins .Then when you give them a good rub they turn into a overnight bag ![]()
Looks like you passed Adolf's BS test also Dave! ... Top stuff!
You must feel as important as a frequent flyer who just received their first gold stamp.
You should expect a business proposal from Adolf also (it requires constant work but you must continue keeping your feelings of elitism under control).
How do you like the sound of 'North East Coast Distributor'? With the Cool kids now on side, this Iwallet is going to generate truckloads of coin for us
By the end of the year we will be sipping Seabreeze cocktails in Adolfville.
2012 is going to be huge! I'm pumped!
