P.S. There is a speaker manufacturer who actually designs his speakers
and sells on Audiogon. Know who he is?

He does well at it. But he *does* have a nice public persona. And
again, he does actually design his own products.

I spent several hours on the phone with the guy. A lot of things were
discussed. One was that some guys who are regular advertisers on
Audiogon do all of their biz through auctions. If that's what it takes
to create a buzz about the speakers, so be it.

You don't get, there already is a buzz. Some idiot is trying to sell a
$450.00 speaker for $1300.00.

Either that or it's something like, "That obnoxious Singh ****er is trying
to foist some **** on the public."

So what is the more difficult ?
To make a biz buzz or to make a buzz biz ?

There's a pretty good precedent for this approach on eBay. Probably good
advice.

I'm playing it by ear at this point. I figure eventually a critical
mass will be reached and word of mouth will take over.

Will Singh be content to sell these things for, say, $450 a pair?
That's probably what that market will bear for these things, both now
and in the future. After the cost of materials, website, advertising
(on Audiogon) and Audiogon or eBay fees, there won't be much left will
there? Once he goes off the dole, he'll need to get a job (I think
Best Buy and Circuit City will be hiring for the holiday season soon.
Think Singh can make it to Christmas without getting fired, er, I mean
'laid off'?)

I suggest we report the sale to his unemployment office and share the good
news.

Agree or disagree, Greg?

P.S. I don't actually agree. But, as usual, you won't have to work
hard to persuade me I'm wrong.

Yeah, that should cover the thousands I shelled out to start the business.
