It’s not penny pinching when they come in at 10% and are offered a deal for 28%. The sharks love to call it penny pinching to undermine the difference but when you look at it as a whole, its not penny pinching.

[@NoodleBoy101]

You can go home with your pride in your back pocket that you gave a shark a "taste of their own medicine". But lets not forget who are already the self made successful millionaires and who aren't. The sharks not making a deal is not the bitter taste of medicine. They know their are hundreds more entrepreneurs eagerly seeking to make a deal with them and many that will actually bring them bigger profit worth their time. To be a shark you have to think like a business and not a charity. To think the sharks are even remotely bothered because they skipped this particular deal is laughable. Come back to reality. They live the life already that every entrepreneur that goes on their show wants.

As a guy who regular gets chafed and bleed, this is game changing. I might buy a pair just to wear around the house. The great thing about it is it’s water resistant so no sweat will soak in, no hairs will get caught in it so you never have to wash them. You could probably wear it without underwear as well so that’s massive savings in underwear and detergent.

[@tejask4889]

Sorry but I don’t like how he takes an unfair advantage of everyone else being out. Asking for a third of the company brings the valuation so low. Their offer of 25% was a good deal and even some other shark mentioned that. Another thing I hated was when he said ‘if you can do 25 you can do 28’. Why doesn’t it apply for him then!

Dumbells. Damian was trying to save them from eaten alive by Robert and they had to pride it off!!

[@KrowShow.]

Honestly the inventors blew this deal. They are a clothing company with one product geared towards very specific population and their sales are not the greatest. They even discussed some barriers in their business that the Sharks could obviously flip around and accelerate. The inventors severely undervalued the Sharks influence on their product. I understand the offers were a bit sharky, but if they were serious about the product being mainstreamed and making money, they would have negotiated better.

[@samanthahughes5590]

Water sports are one of the only sports in the world that people purchase excessive amounts of gear for. Most people I know (including myself) owns a dozen pairs of different board shorts, with tendencies to buy at least a couple of pairs a year. My family alone has atleast 8 to 10 people in it who buy any where between 2 to 5 pairs of board shorts a year (not including gift giving board shorts). Of those 8 to 10 people atleast 6 of them are male who do a LOT of water sports from body boarding right through to surfing and more. Every single one of them would LOVE this. Provided there were multiple design types they'd probably buy these more regularly (specially if they're in their size).

We do not know the details of who else is invested in that company so we do not know how much room they had in negotiation. I thought Robert negotiated in good faith and coming down from 33% to 28% seemed like a good offer for $150K. He would have been a good help to them. I think marketing only to water sports people is stupid. Good comfortable clothing can appeal to a wider audience. I'm not a water sports person but I might be interested in those shorts for working out and playing with my dog outside.
