    Is the sound low or is it just me?

    Their payment of 1.4m in 24 months was so ridiculous that Lori and Mark said yes. Well, the deal didn't close and the entrepreneurs delivered bad quality Trunksters to their Kickstarter customers. The business shut down.

    Remember to lower the volume after watching this.

    Update: Turns out it was a scam. Deal never went through. People who preordered never received the luggage, and now the whole company has gone dark. Jesse also went MIA shortly after. Woops!

    Robert ABSOLUTELY hates when people choose Mark over him. You can see and even slightly taste the saltiness at the end of the deal when it shows his face

    $28 million dollar evaluation for something that hasn’t even shipped to a single person and has nothing unique about it. Any luggage company can easily rip this off. The fact they weren’t thrown out the door is wild. They seem so shady.

    update for anyone that doesn't want to look it up lol.

    We have shady news for our Trunkster update. The Kickstarter mentioned during the episode was successful, but it appears that Jessie and Gaston never fulfilled most orders. Of the slim number of orders that were shipped, most were reported to be of very poor quality.

    These guys apparently bailed on the business and scammed everyone

    I feel like these two are more than friends. 😂

    Prototype gave them away... For once, Barbara was right, and intuition of Lori was magical 😊

    Robert was saved from losing $1.4 million.

    $395 for a piece of luggage. Only a regular flier could even possibly justify that.

    Apparently it was all a scam. They didn't deliver any luggage to their kickstarter backers and didn't issue any refunds. Deleted their social media and went silent. The deal never closed.

    With the insane amount of security at airports these days, a large battery in a suitcase might be problematic.

    I can’t believe anyone even put an offer in on a $28 million dollar company with literally 0 sales 0 customer feedback or real consumer testing, so many things can go wrong especially with all those electronics. This is SO risky it doesn’t make sense

    I was stunned they got offers .
