I thought this was a forum for men, and all men know beer, tools, and copper go well together. In all seriousness( and we don't take ourselves too seriously) we know the copper king sucks, but were working on it. Made some more improvements yesterday, and we've solved most our jamming problems. Did one entire box of pennies with only 1 jam. I think that pretty darn good for two kids in a basement. It sure beats doing drugs.
You have asked for opinions. Here is a small bit of advice:
Never ask someone what they think... they just might tell you! Everyone here is doing just that!
Listen to these "old timers". They are the Captains of Copper, the Bosses of Brass, the Centenarians of Cents . They know what they are talking about, and they are really doing you a favor by even taking the time to write to you. Listen to them.
I like your idea. Nice try. I bet you will sell a lot of them. What kind of warranty will you offer? I appreciate your honesty for saying how often they jamb. Is your product
really ready to go on the market?? If you "know the copper king sucks" (???!!), then you also know it is not ready for prime time. You could run into trouble, forced to buy back your copper king, maybe be kicked off eBay.
Your videos are waaayy too short. You are giving potential buyers mere seconds to make a buying decision. Not enough information. You could make the mistake of making them too long, as well.
Unless you are selling beer, it should never be in a presentation. Unless you are selling R-rated movies, profanity should never be in a presentation, either. Why? It sends an unspoken message: You don't care enough to take care of things important to a potential buyer. It's a turn-off. Crass. Uncouth. Juvenile. Sophomoric. You never get a second chance to make a first impression.
For a couple of kids in a basement, this is impressive! Keep it up!
And, stay off the drugs!
