An ex-g/f of mine shared office space with Richard T. years ago - lawyers.
He bought some kind of dazzling jogging watch while in Hong Kong...his fellow joggers marveled/wanted one.
He ordered 10, sold them all for a handsome profit.
Then he ordered 100 and put a tiny ad in the WSJ...sold them all immediately.
He wanted my ex to package/send them out...she declined.
Anyway, Sharper Image was born.
.
Not just a child in his arms, but a puppy too.
Now he's saying, "...please buy..." ...with his innocent-looking face/eyes. LOL.
He's quite the salesman.
Hard to argue w/successfully selling high dollar consumer trash, I guess.
