    I officially started in this industry back around 1983 or 1984 as an audio salesman at an “insanely” popular audio chain (curious if anyone will get my reference.)
    That reminds me of 1978 TV commercials for Crazy Eddie in NYC.

    True story, every product that was sold at Crazy Eddie had a skew number that started with "L9" and then ended with "9". The number that was in between those 9's was double the lowest possible selling price. In other words, if the number in between the 9's was 1020, the lowest price we were allowed to sell the item for would be 1020/2 = $510. We all told our friends this info which resulted in things getting even crazier at the stores.

    I met the owner and founder Eddie Antar a few times at the main office on Queens Blvd in Brooklyn when I was being promoted to a floor manager. Eddie eventually ended up in prison for falsifying the books to boost the stock price (after the company went public).

    Target is for first week of April, but our # 1 priority is getting this new product out there. It has been my top priority for a full year now and the finish line is just days away. It isn't easy keeping something secret this long...
