I would've gone with Kevin's deal. They have more than enough profit margins to no even feel the 38cent royalty. I'm sure he could've cut down their costs alot. If he cut the production cost down by 20 cents and the customer acquisition cost by 30 cents.. Now all of a sudden he just saved them 50 cents per unit, so they would've never felt the 38cents and it basically cost you nothing to have him on your team. People don't understand the value Kevin brings, just because he's not as 'flashy' as Mark. The man is a beast. His real plan is to usually help automate people's business as much as possible so they can just sit back and collect checks. Then he can turn around and sell it for them and give them a massive payday. Look what he did for Groovebook, Plated, and others. Plated sold for $300Mil. That's his real exit strategy and why he does these royalty deals. He's said so himself. The royalty gives him way more negotiating power so that way when he goes to sell the company, they will pay him a huge lump sum to buy out his royalty

For once Kevin's deal was competitive. Seemed like the guys weren't confident in their own pricing model. As Kevin stated, he would have to sell 1.6 Million of these to just make his money back, if he could sell 1.6 Million of these then imagine the sales numbers the company would be putting up. Plus he was offering existing, established digital platforms to bootstrap thos product. Great offer!

Yeah, and you probably have a couple of Billy Basses hanging on your living room wall, right? Ultimately, nobody wants the junk when it comes to prank gifts.

@@mcdingus5081 Ok... It's obvious they also thought about the idea, and it's also obvious that any of the sharks could help expand on that route if possible since they always have advice and talk about what they can do with manufacturing. And it was obvious with some of those bogus items, some of the sharks actually hoped there could actually be a item in there. They don't have to do all the items, just one item. Also, tone it down. Drink your coffee, eat your Snickers bar or see your therapist.

businesses that you think are simple, flimsy and casual are usually the most profitable with the best margins.

Having a lot of e-commerce retailers offer this as an added option is absolutely genius from Mark Cuban.

why not just very slightly increase all the prices for products and may the 38cent royalty with no equity lost?

Something tells me that a story about a cousin opening his gift wrapped in a toaster box was a lie, but regardless, I think they absolutely chose the wrong deal. The numbers they pitched were in the millions on a product less than 10 dollars. 8 to be exact, and that's a sweet-spot price to be at because it offers flexibility. All they had to do was up it 38 cents to literally cover the costs of a third party and they're basically selling for exactly what they wanted in the first place but now they get the quick buck for someone to take 25% forever.

Nuthin worse then messin up on a hi 5.

Kevin's deal was better by far
