It seems you are progressing along nicely and are reading, albeit at a snail’s pace, the book “How to successfuly market BS”.
You have finished chapter one: Come up with a product least likely to have any verifiable effect so that way you can claim anything.
You are well into chapter two now: offer to have product tested FOLLOWING claims of efficacy. Chapter two spells out carefully having shills in place having made :objective” third party claims of magic results. You kindof got a few things out of order in this scheme but oh well, double down.
Chapter three is when you offer magnanimously to have the product tested and offer to make the tests publicly available for all to see. (Cue the trumpets for the obligatory “tah-DAH!) If the test data is performed by a reputable testing lab, do not share the results with anyone UNLESS what you are trying to do is sow the seeds of distrust between fervent wanna-believers and those who happen to believe results of a certain kind CAN be measured. The author of the book however recommends NOT using a reputable lab…the last thing you woud want is to create a data point from which there are only two conclusions.
Chapter four: NOW…NOW is the time to create a perceived “act now or else moment”: Limit the supply (don’t worry, you can always release more later and be viewed as benevolent). Hopefully at this stage of the process, the book exclaims, orders will fly through and over the transom.
@nano-flo you deviated somewhat from the typical medicine show playbook by slipping up and had posted claims of “increases electrical conductance”. You might have been better served by stating that secret ingredients necessary to make the product have recently become rare rather than saying you were going to pull the product and release it only to the industrial illuminati. That way you could have really exploited the market in the event there was strong uptake.
I havent spent alot of time trying to figure out if your shills are willing participants in your plan or if they are just that gullable. @sheridd2 has about 20 forum posts, the bulk of which are on this topic. I’ve never had a problem with anyone wishing to smear mineral oil with suspended particles on the contacts of their gear…more power to them. They likely do hear a difference. (Oh, if you ever plan to sell any of your gear it would be nice to disclose that so that a potential buyer, especially those with a fully formed frontal lobe, could decide for themselves if that is a direction they wish to go).
The power cable sham is hilarious. You failed to follow the playbook and made a claim easily verified by an independent thord party, an exercise you will never undertake. The adding of the .50 cent sheath on the $5 power cord was a nice touch. Jokes aside, this entire episode may rank right up there with the most bumbling, clumsy and ill conceived roll outs of unsubstantiated excrement in medicine show or carnival midway history.
