Well in that case you're dead to me.

Nah, but do they stay pretty busy? We literally put $0.00 toward marketing it. We just place them in front of our place of business and people see them and talk about them. And I have a facebook page. That's it! We sell them every once in a while, but it takes someone who wants to spend $4000-$5000 to get one of  those jacked up ones.

I don't know any hardcore numbers, but I think it's in the multi-million in sales (gross) a year.  They have a large amount of inventory (some of it rentals/used) and I think about 7 on staff (3 up front and the rest in the back).  The owners don't go in very often, but they have/had very lucrative careers in other fields.

Good thing is, they started in a small shop in the back of his house... so it doesn't take much and you can blow up big.

That's their location, that's about the lowest the inventory ever gets.

It amazes me the people that spend money on these things.  I'll be there and watch people getting financing for $10k carts.  I'm like WTF?!  If you can't afford to pay cash for your "toy", then you shouldn't be buying it!!
