I feel like Lori will be involved in some way either as the sole Shark or partners with someone else like Robert. This seems like a perfect QVC product.

You seem too excited for there to be no deal. ;)

My guess is multiple deals... it's that good a product.

Lori gives you an offer, Kevin jumps in offering a license deal. Robert says he'll partner with Lori, you take the deal.

Either way, you laugh all the way to the bank ;)

I agree, I can see this being a product Lori will want on the QVC, and if there is money to be made through licensing Kevin will make an offer

as soon as Mr Wonderful hears you have interest from the big boys he will insist on being there to negotiate on your behalf

Two other fun games:

Guess why will sharks go "out"

Shark Tank Paint Brush Cover drinking game (drink when Barbara says "You're adorable...", Mark says "You've got a nice little product, but you're not a business yet", Robert says "Great presentation", a shark offers a licensing deal, etc.)

You get a deal, receive tons of publicity, and make a lot of money.

or

You don't get a deal, receive tons of publicity, and make a lot of money.

I think I'm right, haha.


Actually, for appearing on the show, you give up a tiny portion of equity or a royalty to ABC regardless of what happens, correct? So you've definitely got ABC as a partner lol.

Mark Cuban made them drop the equity share, I think I saw it somewhere in this forum.;)

There's definitely money for this product in the licensing game, but Kevin wants a front loaded deal and roughly 3% royalties in perpetuity. Mark has no interest in the space, Robert knows someone but is being a bit greedy, Barbara wants to be in on Robert's offer, and Lori gets the deal, I think 17% for a lowball number, but still respectable.

DISCLAIMER: What is "Shark Tank????"

I'm gonna say Barbara because she is the least likely candidate besides Mark "BUT" she sometimes likes to help those people who she likes and thinks has passion and drive and WILL do something with her investment. Therefore Barbara it is and I think Mr Wonderful will jump in and try to offer something better (with royalties in place), but Barbara gets the deal.

All offers are trounced by CUBAN doing a Pile Driver to Kevin, and knocks everyone over!

Cuban looks like modern rambo yelling and shouting, after taking FIRST BLOOD!

Cuban only one left, Show gets cancelled, and Sharks are now chum...

(PS. I have not affiliation with the shark tank, and Did not see the filming of the show, and if I'm way to accurate, its because I'm a good guesser!)

They would just find new sharks! I vote zen dolphin, MJ, Jack Edwards, and that Paypal guy, his name escapes me right now.

Cuban goes out not because he doesn't like the product, but doesn't see where he adds value.

The fact that you are a NYC firefighter makes this an American Dream story. Because of that, they may ALL want in. Damn you Sal. :)

I suspect there were multiple offers, and someone trumped someone else. Why? This product will be in several thousand storefronts yet within 2014.

Are we going to use this as a live thread during the show?

When the show starts we should charge X rep dollars per guess and if you're wrong after the pitch you have to transfer to likwid. And if Damon bursts through the doors and makes a deal we have to transfer every dime. Just a thought. The guy deserves more rep $

I will not be live posting during the show. I will be too nervous and too busy screaming at the television.

Sal is far too enthusiastic for no deal. Obvious is Lori. I don't like betting the obvious so I say multiple offers.

Are we going to use this as a live thread during the show?

Problem is the East Coast gets to view first. Over here on the West Coast we have to wait 2 hours. So I'm going to make sure not to check in around here as I don't want spoilers.

Wait, seriously??? So when I see something at 8pm, you don't see it at 6pm?

Yea in 2004 I saw Janet Jackson's boob at 8. MJ didn't see it until 10. Etc with all boobs on TV

I don't know much about Shark Tank, but I'm guessing multiple offers due to a solid product and solid mentality/enthusiasm. I'll be downloading the show ont he 5th specifically to watch :) Good luck mate!

My vote is Mark Cuban $100,000 for 20% stake. (Robert would be my second guess)

For some reason I think the low price point will keep Lori from jumping in. I think if the price were closer to $9.99 she would be more excited.

Also, I think QVC is the wrong play for this product. Big box distribution and international distribution seems like the most logical big business bet which is something Mark Cuban or Robert would be better with.

I have Shark Tank on the DVR queue... so I'll be watching. :)
