I would've gone with Kevin's deal. They have more than enough profit margins to no even feel the 38cent royalty. I'm sure he could've cut down their costs alot. If he cut the production cost down by 20 cents and the customer acquisition cost by 30 cents.. Now all of a sudden he just saved them 50 cents per unit, so they would've never felt the 38cents and it basically cost you nothing to have him on your team. People don't understand the value Kevin brings, just because he's not as 'flashy' as Mark. The man is a beast. His real plan is to usually help automate people's business as much as possible so they can just sit back and collect checks. Then he can turn around and sell it for them and give them a massive payday. Look what he did for Groovebook, Plated, and others. Plated sold for $300Mil. That's his real exit strategy and why he does these royalty deals. He's said so himself. The royalty gives him way more negotiating power so that way when he goes to sell the company, they will pay him a huge lump sum to buy out his royalty

[@notimportant3686]

i agree that kevin offered the mathematically far superior deal, but i wonder how much more value cuban brings from the business running stand point.... this is actually the only time i can think of that i couldn't be sure which deal is better for the entrepreneur

[@josephmyrick791]

I was pretty surprised they took marks deal.

[@Veritas-invenitur]

@@notimportant3686Kevin’s deal wasn’t just mathematically superior, Kevin’s deal was also far more likely to close. After the tank when it came time for Mark to sign the contract, he did what he normally does and pulled out. Kevin doesn’t usually pull out.

[@sirajfilms9066]

The simple fact that Cuban said the key to their business is adding it as an upsell in e-commerce stores would've made me accept his deal instantly

[@loveistheanswer5924]

i actually thought kevin's deal was better cause he'd have to work to get his money back. though obv mark is the better overall shark

[@Stinking82]

For once Kevin's deal was competitive. Seemed like the guys weren't confident in their own pricing model. As Kevin stated, he would have to sell 1.6 Million of these to just make his money back, if he could sell 1.6 Million of these then imagine the sales numbers the company would be putting up. Plus he was offering existing, established digital platforms to bootstrap thos product. Great offer!

I would have gone with Mr. Wonderful after negotiating down the royalty. Also, it wouldn't be too bad if for certain key boxes based on feedback, that some boxes might actually come with the actual product.

[@mcdingus5081]

Yeah, and you probably have a couple of Billy Basses hanging on your living room wall, right? Ultimately, nobody wants the junk when it comes to prank gifts. It's a much better idea to just sell a box where you can put a real gift in. And you weren't paying attention- they tried to go the cheap prank gift route- it didn't work.

[@Rorschachqp]

@@mcdingus5081 Ok... It's obvious they also thought about the idea, and it's also obvious that any of the sharks could help expand on that route if possible since they always have advice and talk about what they can do with manufacturing. And it was obvious with some of those bogus items, some of the sharks actually hoped there could actually be a item in there. They don't have to do all the items, just one item. Also, tone it down. Drink your coffee, eat your Snickers bar or see your therapist. To go off on someone who just posts their suggestion and insult them is an inappropriate and telling amount of aggression on your part.

Thin margins? Their cost is $0.66 a box and they sell them at $8 each. Kevin was only asking for $0.38 on each unit sold and 0% of their company. Their cost would of only went up to $1.04 a unit still leaving them with a 7x margin. Heck they could of even upped their price to $8.99 to make up for it and none of their customers would bat an eye or probably even notice the small increase in proce. Usually I would say that Mark is the better choice, but I really think Kevin was the way to go here. Not just for his offer but because It's his niche too.
