    His profit figures were excellent and his initial offer of 20% for £250K was actually a pretty good deal. Deborah's offer of £250K for 35% was extremely greedy and then she threw a childish strop when he negotiated with the other dragons without first rejecting her greedy offer. Something he was perfectly entitled to do.

    • @vashuchiha117
      @vashuchiha117 17 днів тому +2

      To be fair it wasn't a negotiation really, he never offered her a negotiation, Duncan got him to reveal that he had a 25% cap. Most would be annoyed at not getting told something like that up front, she did decrease her offer when it was revealed, he still chose her half offer. She had easily went to a half partner offer with another dragon, greedy would have been holding her ground on the 35% and saying she's out because she had felt offended about not being told about an offer cap up front, a move that the investors on shark tank are known for making.

      @DaveTexas 10 днів тому

      Umm, diesel nozzles are larger than gasoline nozzles, specifically for the purpose of not being able to fit into the opening on a gasoline engine’s fuel filler neck. That’s the entire point of the product here, to prevent the smaller gasoline nozzle from being put into the opening on a diesel fuel tank. Smaller fits into larger, hence the mistaken filling of a diesel engine with gasoline. Larger does not fit into smaller, which is why people with gasoline engines do not need such a product.
      So please explain how your engine was going to be mistakenly fueled by a professional fueling attendant.
