Do the distributors buy them from you? David: Yes Right, how many have they bought? David: Distribution of wholesale goods began in 5000 bc with the onset of trading animals

Unless of course, she is just as bad! I get the generalisation of the ‘poor hapless spouse’ but in fairness, most of the cringey people I know somehow found equally annoying and cringey people to marry.
@@binkyboobosh1what are you on about 😂, the business is worth 1.4 million dollars, that’s absolutely horrible, he valued it at 1.2 million, 6 years ago! If his business is worth 1.4 million that doesn’t mean he makes the million, it’s just the total value in the business, his profits are 200k maximum.

Look, when you're watching Dragons Den videos, what you've gotta realize is that you click on the video that you wanna watch, and then you watch the video when it's done loading.
He is arrogant, but he sold close to a million Itsa products and is very wealthy now. Had they invested, it could've been an even bigger success. The guy is self made, did it without investors and there's something to be said for that.
@@BenjaminGoosewhere did you find that? I mean if anyone can tell me why they think he’s sold a bunch now or that the company was dissolved soon after this.. is it possible they changed the business? Like dissolves this one to create a new one?
And what happens when you sit on your keys.... Not a well designed product. Also, the logo is printed all over the cover, so people know the valuables are more likely already inside. Would be worth way more if it were completely plain
I pressed play to watch this video, but helpfully David Glashun appeared in a pop-up and told me if I pressed skip after a short 4 second countdown then I wouldn't have to watch the whole advert. I had been wasting probably years watching videos and all the adverts in full beforehand. Thank you David!
Baffled by the pitch , Be humble remember your asking for there money and expertise ! I have this product and it is great but l never bought it from you and ld have walked if you’d tried selling me it ?
Looks like he did alright in the end. He's still selling it and sold 65000 the first year this show aired. I don't think he was a bad bloke. He came off as arrogant but pressure will do that to some people.
Honestly he could've just said he wants to make them confident he has some understanding of business and can be worked with, rather than "teaching" them
I love the way there’s a secret compartment for valuables… and their business model is to sell these to cruise ships who will give one to every passenger. So literally everyone on board will know about the secret!

@@TheSMR1969 you realise that those people have earned their money, if u think that that guy has more knowledge and experience than those dragons you are insane, its the same if i went into a university and started lecturing a maths professor just because i know how to add and subtract...
@@outsideconfidence12he was just showing them he's up to their level. They're not going to want to go into business with someone who's not their equal.
He is the type of guy who is commonly found in the wild as the "free advice" guy. You can ask him a simplistic question & each time, instead of replying to the point, he would respond with a verbose advice mixed in with a heavy dose of philosophy.
He's the kind of person who would tell the waiter to ask the chef to come out to advise him on the doneness of his steak and how his mate is a head chef who worked with Anthony Worrall Thompson in the 90s
Normally in the den, the entrepreneurs might not understand business principles such as turnover, retail prices and gross profit. But here, we have a man who understands all these principles but seems to think the Dragons don't.
@@chrisbevis7725 atm the companys net worth is 2 million so I'm guessing they did pretty well, though I think some of that is thanks to the free advertising this show gave it.
Well, the dragons didn't say the product wasn't good. They skipped on it because the valuation was way too high and the guy was insufferable to them.@@magibubu
The Dragons were so rude. They're still learning and all his points were spot on. If they'd heeded this advice they might not need to keep working for a TV programme, and make enough from their own products.
The way Richard declared himself out was actually way more respectful than they deserved. He was clear...he was concise...he explained why he wasn't going to invest without getting personal.
"They don't know it all. They're still learning too." Indeed, that is correct. But why he thinks that they don't know basic foundational principles (despite being multi-millionaires), and that he's the guy to educate them in relation to these, is beyond me. I might give The Rock some gym advice when I'm 3 weeks in and can do free weights.
I just love that he was trying to teach year 7 week 1 business lessons to a group of experts. Like he’d just picked up a kids textbook on the way in and thought maybe the people who’ve been doing this for decades don’t know about this stuff. Hilarious to watch unfold.
I’m so glad that the Den had someone on like David who could show the dragons how to run a successful business. Cos his was doing so well! And he’s no schmuck either!
I hate second hand embarrassment. Gosh I hate being embarrassed for someone else. Gives me major anxiety and I cant even bear it. I get nauseated and I actually have a nightmare about it that night!
My first thought was the stock market when I heard that and it confused the hell out of me, after I realized he meant inventory I got even more confused because so far he sold a handful online and has no bigger deals lined up, so why the hell does he need to buy 250 k worth of towels.
For anyone interested the show aired in 2004, and in 2023 the company still exist, the sun made an article recently saying they are worth 2 million pounds company..... And it's interesting that the problem was more the owner's ego
@@Psycho250785 Condescending and Acts way more intelligent than they have the depth to really jump into, Should be looking up... not Talking down like they're Morons... You want their money.

If a cruise liner orders them, then everyone will have the secret pocket in their towel so it won't be secret. Makes it very clear to a thief where to look for valuables. Or someone, including staff, may take the towel if it looks abandoned
This was 15+ years old episode. After airing it went well - 2years 180 000 ITSA's sold - now you can buy them on Amazon. I believe he was just right with his idea.
@@wfm125m Sure, but there are 8 billion people on the planet. Even a 4/10 idea can generate sales in the hundreds of thousands if your market is the entire world.
Dragon's " How did you value your business at 250k?" " When you start a business, you look at things like a towel and say to yourself I could see myself using that as a bookshelf but if you try to use it as a bookshelf ill sue you."
What happens when you want to use the towel for the purpose of drying off after a dip in the pool or sea? I presume you would need to remove all the books etc from the magic pockets! Im out.
He reminds me of the typical know all Brit that goes to Spain to sit all day by the pool, at his all inclusive amongst other Brits then comes back saying how much he loves "Spain" Lol
We know what the brits are like ___John : I'm going on holiday to Spain __Tom : oh really thats nice and where in spain exactly ? Oh I don't know , near the sea ____
He would probably tell a doctor who to perform heart surgery, he probably told Trump how to win the election, we all know how that went, and this gut is as orange as Donald Trumps left testicle !
In the unlikely event that the product became famous worldwide and everyone bought one, the secret pocket would be completely redundant as every thief would know it was there
The Dragon’s said they couldn’t work with him and he said “That’s OK because I don’t need to work with you”..... ummm, isn’t that the whole reason he went there?!
Title: Let me explain Subtitle: All about business so you can see how valuable a company I run and therefore will be likely to invest in my company since I am the best at business. First, when we talk about the value of a company we mean the value the company can generate in financial terms and what someone might pay for the company if they were to buy it. Secondly a company is an organisation of labor/management structured to fully entrench power at the top so they never have to do any work to keep the company functioning. Thirdly investing is when an entity decides to buy some share of the whole company becoming an investor. Lastly I am clearly the best at business since my book title is already a book in itself which describes exactly what you will learn inside while creating the sense that much more information was to be exchanged in its pages when in reality its 900 pages of arrogant self aggrandizing nonsense.
Duncan’s a gem, he sometimes says, “I only invest in what I understand , I don’t understand this, so I am out” he’s straight forward, clever, and slightly dour, he’s also had an interesting life, instead of doing what all the people who grew up with did, he struck out on his own, a great Scotsman, we could do with more like him.
I've known people who talk from a condescending position like this, like you are a child. They have been doing it for so long that they arent aware of it anymore. And if you point it out to them they say they wont do it again and immediatly after do it again. They have always been narcissists, at least the ones I knew

Honestly, he should be teaching on his spare time
He is the type of guy who is commonly found in the wild as the "free advice" guy. You can ask him a simplistic question & each time, instead of replying to the point, he would respond with a verbose advice mixed in with a heavy dose of philosophy.
Ask him the time and he will tell you how to make a watch.

This is what happens when you take a 3 week coursera course online on how to run a business and entered dragons den
I'm sure that is exactly what happened here.
Normally in the den, the entrepreneurs might not understand business principles such as turnover, retail prices and gross profit. But here, we have a man who understands all these principles but seems to think the Dragons don't.
And guess who is broke!
@@chrisbevis7725 not the guy who is selling these towels. they sold hundreds of thousands
@@chrisbevis7725 atm the companys net worth is 2 million so I'm guessing they did pretty well, though I think some of that is thanks to the free advertising this show gave it.
Well, the dragons didn't say the product wasn't good. They skipped on it because the valuation was way too high and the guy was insufferable to them.@@magibubu
The Dragons were so rude. They're still learning and all his points were spot on. If they'd heeded this advice they might not need to keep working for a TV programme, and make enough from their own products.

I like how Richard Farleigh just stays calm and tries to give the guy business advice.
Best dragon ever. Removed because he was White.
@@madforit2 Met him in Claridges a few years back, absolute gent!
The way Richard declared himself out was actually way more respectful than they deserved. He was clear...he was concise...he explained why he wasn't going to invest without getting personal.
agreed .... the correct business-like and professional manner with which to provide constructive criticism ....Jones was equally objective
Well after all he is the reality version of Bruce Wayne
Are you also giving us a lesson
you've got to get out of that habit of pointing out obvious things in youtube comments
"They don't know it all. They're still learning too."
Indeed, that is correct. But why he thinks that they don't know basic foundational principles (despite being multi-millionaires), and that he's the guy to educate them in relation to these, is beyond me. I might give The Rock some gym advice when I'm 3 weeks in and can do free weights.
I just love that he was trying to teach year 7 week 1 business lessons to a group of experts. Like he’d just picked up a kids textbook on the way in and thought maybe the people who’ve been doing this for decades don’t know about this stuff. Hilarious to watch unfold.

My first thought was the stock market when I heard that and it confused the hell out of me, after I realized he meant inventory I got even more confused because so far he sold a handful online and has no bigger deals lined up, so why the hell does he need to buy 250 k worth of towels.

He should have been a teacher. Guy loves lecturing.
If a cruise liner orders them, then everyone will have the secret pocket in their towel so it won't be secret. Makes it very clear to a thief where to look for valuables. Or someone, including staff, may take the towel if it looks abandoned

The title of his book would be:
Let Me Explain.
Title: Let me explain
Subtitle: All about business so you can see how valuable a company I run and therefore will be likely to invest in my company since I am the best at business. First, when we talk about the value of a company we mean the value the company can generate in financial terms and what someone might pay for the company if they were to buy it. Secondly a company is an organisation of labor/management structured to fully entrench power at the top so they never have to do any work to keep the company functioning. Thirdly investing is when an entity decides to buy some share of the whole company becoming an investor. Lastly I am clearly the best at business since my book title is already a book in itself which describes exactly what you will learn inside while creating the sense that much more information was to be exchanged in its pages when in reality its 900 pages of arrogant self aggrandizing nonsense.
lol.
