I found those puppets all over the city in Spencers etc on clearance..I mean like $1.50 each and I sold them on ebay for $25 + everyone wanted one

I kid you not I was walking out of malls with 2-3 garbage bag sized bags from Spencers full of those.

No shit..one thing that I have learned about the adult biz is that there's a lot you can do in getting a biz started at times with only 1 or 2 people...and these guys had teams of people working round the clock and the shit still failed.

The early dot com people sure were a bunch of fucking idiots. I'm glad most of the trash was waded through. All those shits did was make investors weary of investing in online business when the failure was 99% due to idiots running the companies.
