Usually it’s the Dragon finessing the entrepreneurs but this time it was the other way around!
Sarah, how did we go from 35 to 25 to 10%......? So bizarre! He didn't deserve that much grace.

She knows how easily parted qvc viewers are with their money. Drop to 10% when you have your money back. I’d like 10% of a company for free
Once again we have a budding entrepreneur who comes into the Den and doesn't have all his financials in his head. He said the product was patented and then we find out that it was not. Lastly, Sarah goes from 35% to 25% and on to 10% - baffling!

The benefits of a roller are already quite well known. The shocking part is that nobody else had made a double roller like that before. No doubt there are 50 companies making them now if it works.

Glad that I’m not the only one who saw it. I wasn’t getting good vibes from him at all.
Can't believe she said yes to that. 😂
Well done
It was an unusually massive drop, and a bad look on Sara, but it was great to see a Dragon not let ego get in the way of a good deal
The Back Baller still has an active website and Instagram page (last post on that was in June), so they're still in business.
Righto … what’s everyone having for lunch whilst watching dragons den ?
I am so shocked she invested - the valuation was ludicrous for such a low net profit and someone without any business acumen. I guess she saw something that none of the others did.
What on Earth. I did not see that at all. Well played to him.

Smashing one mate
Dunno how he managed to convince her to go for 10% after she initially wanted 35 and then 25 after the money back. Talk about persuasion..!
He absolutely smashed it 😂10% aswell is nuts sara defo could of got 15 %out if him
When she said “Go on”.. what does that mean? Like go on, get out of here? Or Go on, we’ve got a deal? I’m so confused!
This is a bit weird. Product is still selling. But, acc to Companies House the company moved overseas? Can't find any financial filings.
Very clever Sara, I can see what she's done there..

What!?? Was not expecting that. Fair play to him. Just goes to show how much dragons tend to milk the entrepreneurs.
Haven't seen too many Evan Davis jokes on the video lately, probably because he recently admitted in a British magazine that his father KILLED HIMSELF on his wedding night!
It’s easy money for her, finance a run of inventory for shopping network and get take all money from the first run
Wow, Sarah just gambled there
