Well, "what it is" isn't really relevant to its valuation. Sales and revenue determines value, not the product. The dumbest simplest product could be worth $100,000,000 while the most innovative useful product might be worth nothing if it doesn't sell.

She shouldn't have given up 50% on the get go. Also, she should have come after 6 months. Even if her profit margin is 89%, no one knows if that price point is acceptable to buyers. That's what happens when Marketing executives get into business and only see the sales of things rather than the larger side of it
@@geenstresss just because you don’t like the product, you’re hoping her business doesn’t succeed? You’re a sick person. People like you are rotten to the core

And yes I am a pet owner, this product just seems dumb to me. And Michelle just got lucky from the original store deal.
I feel bad for dogs that have this on their neck. They are more sensitive to loud noises. On top of that, it’s a damn gimmick that entertains people than it benefits dogs.

I find this cringe, because to satisfy the human's need or want, then the animal should be tied to a speaker without concerning about the animal's need.
The toy will basically cause people to not understand what their pet is trying to say. What if the dogs are trying to say they need to go potty but the toy says I want to sleep? For that reason, I am out.
