RE: 800 bucks for WAX?????? WHAT?
Pete, I'm trying to find the thread over there. A guy with one post came on the site and was trying to get people to send him a grand for wax. I especially took exception because this is a very popular scam where you pay upfront $1000 or more for a lifetime supply, or in the case of reality, until they have collected enough money and then simply go out of business or disappear.
If my memory serves me, I think Pete you had either bought the stuff or were going to and you like the concept of refilling. The guy that made the post was trying to use his "lifetime refill guarantee" with his friends. 'Hey guys, send me $100 and I will get the company to refill my container, then I'll fill yours and go back and refill it again, and so on and so forth.' To each his own. Not starting anything here. If you think a wax is worth a $1000 or $1400 or whatever price, let me leave you with this time tested mantra..."A fool and his money are soon parted".
I emailed this guy back and forth because only a year or two earlier I looked at buying a company that was manufacturing and marketing waxes to the mass merchant retailers and thought it would be a good fit. In the course of 7 months of due diligence, I learned more than I cared to know about waxes; the raw material cost structure, profit margins, etc. I simply called a spade a spade and would do so again. No wax is worth a grand.
