He has made a fortune, but mostly from the novelty value, as the media like to report his story. There will be thousands of pages like this springing up faster than a field of inedible mushrooms on a muddy field.
ah well.. let me go back and oil the shackle and chain attached to my leg.

| I am curious how he got the publicity? I have chips in my collection that know one else in the world has as many of you do as well. Isnt that more interesting than advertising! Not to mention, who in their right mind would go shopping there? |

| The media loves this kind of stuff, and it makes a change from killings and floods etc.. Personally I wouldnt go back to the page again, I have only looked at it once and it looked like... shit. I think the majority of clickthrus are coming from people hearing about it for the first time and having a look. His blog has reports from people saying their sales have gone up, but I dont buy all of it. As grandpa always used to say, if it looks like horseshit, smells like horseshit and tastes like horseshit, it IS horseshit. |

I'm glad for the guy who thought of that. It shows how easy and simple it is to make money these days. There are so many business oppurtunities out there, it's just a matter of who finds them first.  |
