No worries yeag. I will just sit on them like I have been for mover than a couple of years now. Maybe something good will eventually come of this. GLTA
My 180,000 shares are up for grabs at 005 if anyone wants them. 900 bucks and they are all yours! Cost me a lot more than that years ago.
I had all 180,000 of my shares up on the ask at .005 on Friday and no one bought them. I have Fidelity as well. I may put them back up for sale again next week in case anyone wants them. I am taking a huge loss but I have a much better play to stick that 900 bucks in right now than to wait for George to pull his head out of his ar$e. All or none!
100 Share buy. Looks like someone might need some shares?
You must not own any Apple products either then and your house must be trinket free. E-cig was invented in China as well and big tobacco is already investing in that market. GLTU.
GO RFMK!!!
911 shares traded = Impending News
100 shares traded = somebody needs some shares today. Normally this is due to a bad short position. I guess we'll see if these codes have any validity later today whne the PINKies open?
$1.14 trade to drop it 75%. I hope something is coming soon. Don't know what the MMs are thinking because those of us that got stock in this over a year ago have no plans on being bullied out of any shares. I would rather lose it all than give in to the DTC crooks. Keeping my fingers crossed. GO SFIO!
This isn't going to happen. Let's be realistic. ESPN allowing a sponsor that delivers "something" that professional athletes constantly get in trouble for using? I don't think so. I am pro RFMK all the way but that would be suicide for ESPN. Go with the celebrities but avoid the athletes unless RFMK wants bad press. Just think about it everyone and let's get back to business here.
GO RFMK!
Mathmatically speaking this is incorrect Cheryl. The Mayan Calendar never accounted for Leap Years so in actuality, if you count the days on the Mayan Calendar to include all of those leap years, then the date has actually already past.
Last I looked the world was still here NITWIT even if I happen to be currently in one of its less desirable geographic locations. This bodes well for us and the future of RFMK.
GO RFMK!
Thanks LL8. Think I'm going to buy a little more RFMK today just for fun! Have enough but will sit and watch and throw a little green out when the timings right.
GO RFMK!
Good afternoon from Afghanistan RFMKers! Today looks to start the uptrend so let's keep getting the word out and keep these MMs from holding us back.
GO RFMK!
I can't match the brew part here in Afghanistan but I am sitting here this afternoon looking forward to a good show tonight!
GO RFMK!
Thanks bro! Let's rock and roll!
GO RFMK!
Weather is heating up no stocscot and you know what that means. RFMK looking to move forward with strong news.
GO RFMK!
Already up in Jersey I see LL8. Back here in Afghanistan myself. I've been with RFMK for over a year now so I am sitting on a few shares myself patiently waiting for the surge.
GO RFMK!
Google just about any Stock and you will get the same thing. These "Scam Alerts" are from shady penny stock sites that claim they have all of the inside scoop to make you a gazillionaire but all they do is promote pump and dump stocks and you are who they are looking to dump on. They are all worthless crap. RFMK is not a scam. Try doing more DD than googling RFMK and you will see much more come to light. GLTY!
GO RFMK!
Looking forward to it! GO RFMK!
I am retired and I appreciate the sentiments. May have taken the uniform off but still here to support. Money isn't too bad either. I'm counting on RFMK helping to get me out of here by EOY. Just need to make sure that I have enough to pay for the rest of my youngest son's college and I'm outta here.
GO RFMK!
I'll make everyone feel better MD. I am in Afghanistan and the market opens at 6pm here and I am in no way still up when it closes. Lol!
GO RFMK!
TUESDAY 21 FEBRUARY 2012, 0930am EST: ?????????????
The long weekend is allowing for much discussion to take place and for RFMK investors to have time to “logically” analyze their positions with RFMK and understand exactly what their next move is. Hopefully all will come to realize that RFMK will still be trading on Tuesday. For the majority of us, the DTCC decision will appear transparent since we are not shorting RFMK nor have we been. For those that can and do SS and NSS of stocks, some not all, will be affected by this since not all brokerages contract under the DTCC for clearing.
That means that SS and NSS can still be done by certain MMs. But how much are these MMs willing to risk in doing this when their MM trading support structure is now weaker remains to be seen.
TUESDAY 21 FEBRUARY 2012, 0930am EST: What happens here?
Is the PR ready or not? Some opine that the future of RFMK all lies on this PR coming out Tuesday. Say what? One PR placed at a specific time is going to make or break a company’s stock? Why would you invest in a company that you believe is really that fragile? They almost all have fragility to some degree at the PINK level but that is an eggshell walking deduction as to RFMK’s state.
You have to analyze Friday’s events to really substantiate your decision point for Tuesday. There are some that look at Friday as all bad and some that look at Friday as just a speed bump with good things still ahead. Then there is the vast majority of everyone else that is undecided and apprehensive.
Most everything I have read talks of the PR this and the PR that and RFMK with PR KABOOM or no PR is death sentence.
Well how about a completely different “hair-brained” scenario that really isn’t that farfetched at all:
What if RFMK recovers part or all of its PPS dip from Friday come Tuesday without any PR? NO WAY!!! That can’t happen! The PR has to come or RFMK is doomed! LMAO!
Take another look at Friday afternoon's graph then. RFMK started to recover on Friday without any PR but was pushed back down again by a large, late selloff, so who’s to say that the RFMK PPS can’t actually tick north at opening bell due to that recovery now not having the same obstacles in its way as it did Friday? Logic would dictate that the selloff intent was to get out of certain positions on Friday by those who will be affected by the DTCC ruling come Tuesday and others that just followed the panic wave, so the larger position selloffs have now all occurred as has all of the panic selling. Not saying this is completely true, only that logic can speculate this occurrence has transpired.
It’s hard to predict what WILL occur come Tuesday morning. What I am pretty confident in is that many of us longs that believe that there is much profit to be made in RFMK are going to have our wallets reloaded and will be buying more. Since the cause of the failed recovery of Friday should not be present come Tuesday, there is a good chance that PPS will not be suppressed as much by MM play and could go straight up. How fast is going to depend on how thin the board is.
Your guesses are as good (or bad) as mine and we will all must choose our own play here, but we all know that it’s a gamble any way you look at it. I will give you a guaranteed way to ensure that you don’t lose any money here: Keep your money in your wallet! That’s no fun though is it? My guess is that the reason you are here in the PINKs is that you are here to gamble hard so you want to optimize your entry/re-entry point with RFMK. What I expect is that the almighty PR is what will decide what most of you do. If the PR is released premarket then you will jump in and if it’s not then you will wait until it is released and begin chasing your entry point from there. Best of luck to you with that.
My question to you all though is, what do you do if the PR doesn’t come and PPS begins to increase anyway? Just want those of you who are leveraging the PR against your next move should have a plan in place for this third option. I have no idea if and when this elusive PR will come and it will make everything easier if it just comes Tuesday, but considering that even though the attempted recovery failed on Friday, there was no PR to back up that recovery attempt which means that RFMK is strong enough to recover anyway so what stands in the way of recovery for this Tuesday? To PR or not to PR? What a precarious place to be indeed!
GO RFMK!!!
Fidelity is great! $7.95 a trade, buy or sell. No hidden fees.
Been with them for a while and they are self clearing.
WHY RFMK WILL BE FINE COME TUESDAY FOR TRADING.
Below is my opinion as to why:
Everyone is speculating as to what’s going to happen Tuesday. Is RFMK going to go down further or is it time to rebound from the conspiracy theories partially responsible for the PPS decline.
First of all, anyone know how the DTC identifies stocks for their CHILL list? They don't have a bunch of elves scouring the indexes. That would cost a lot of money in overhead as elves aren’t cheap! They use a simple math program that identifies stocks that are trading GROSSLY abnormal volume compared to their going average. This normally signifies SS and NSS positions occurring at a higher average rate.
Look at the last few weeks of RFMK. Notice any abnormally high volume days? Yes we had dilution but might that have been a part of the trigger? Now let's look at what happened to RFMK yesterday. DTC news comes out in the morning and states that a CHILL will be put in place on Tuesday. Why Tuesday though? Why not right away? Well that wouldn't be fair to anyone holding a bunch of short positions now would it? But the MMs, who are responsible for the majority of the SS and all of the NSS, now only have a day's worth of trading RFMK to cover their positions. Many on this board seemed not to know what CHILL meant so others took advantage and spread false info by saying that RFMK trading will be halted.
What direction does PPS normally go when MM covering is occurring? How about when covering is done aggressively to ensure a level position by closing bell by multiple MMs? Volume increases and PPS drops. Cronies start blogging sell! sell! sell! to create a panic so they can cover as much as they can so they can cover on the down side with “real” shares. This would be the first time this has occurred and won’t be the last in PINKieland.
$FIO was even brought up and caused even more panic because many don’t understand or don’t want to understand the difference between a CHILL and a LOCK so they baled. Other’s trying to convince us that a lock is inevitable and is probably coming next week! As the ESPN Crew of MNF would say “Come on man!” If the DTC were going to lock RFMK that they would have done it up front. By their own rules, RFMK would have to fail to meet certain criteria and it’s obvious that this is not the case or RFMK would already be locked. Something illicit is going to have to occur going forward that goes against the DTCC grain for them to put a lock on RFMK. As many have said here, they have been trading stocks with no problem that have been chilled for months. This was just one of a few conspiracy theories laid out there to get you to sell your shares.
I own $FIO shares so I know how that one feels. That is a whole different kind of looooooong position! I have no idea what’s going to happen so I just let it sit there because I have no choice. RFMK though is a CHILL (everybody’s got the difference down now right?) so I had a choice on what to do this time: Play it safe, check my B@ll$ at the door and sell my RFMK shares and move on; or remind myself that this is PINKieland and reach down and grab hold and buy on the dip. I chose the latter and quadrupled my position.
Why? One word…CANNACIG! Awaiting news…DISTRIBUTION CONTRACTS!
This is just my stance as how I see the gamble being worth the investment going forward as that is what my DD and my instincts tell me. I will be the first to admit that I am not always right and I could be totally wrong on this and lose even more money but that’s life in the PINKs!
Has anyone really looked though that after this huge volume day and selling that RFMK only lost a third of its value? That really isn’t bad if you look at what has happened to most stocks that this occurs with. That to me shows a strong support base of longs hold large volume of stock.
What happens Tuesday I believe is all up in the air. Does PPS decline further? Well it appeared that a recovery was occurring post lunch break but certain entities seemed determined to ensure that RFMK finished on a downward trend in order to set up more investor indecision for a downward trend on Tuesday. What this showed was that RFMK has resiliency and can bounce and bounce quickly with the atmosphere in place. And what could happen is many of you that did sell and possible lost some money, decide to come back in now that PPS is lower and help pave the way for the ride back up which IMHO is going to happen. I know I’m buying more Tuesday. Many other longs will too I’m sure.
It’s your money though so you have to make your own decision as to which side is painting the clearer picture. Maybe just sit back and watch Tuesday and decide Wednesday what to do with those Benjamins. I’d be watching Tuesday though as you could miss out on these lower prices.
GLTYA! GO RFMK!
I appreciate that LAD but no need to worry as I got myself one for Christmas and am buying a pair of shades in the next couple of weeks before I go home for vacation again. Plus, by the time I come out of here, DUSS should be rocking and rolling pretty well so may we can all meet up in Vegas for a DUSS party or something. GLTY.
GO DUSS!
Mild winter for North America. Not so much here in Afghanistan. Two and a half feet of snow at my location in the last month and I am only at 5000 ft or so. Higher elevations much more.
Pretty to look at on the 14,000+ ft mountains surrounding us but not so much fun to slush around in. Need some Deuce Custom Ink galoshes!
GO DUSS!
Good to hear. Not too pleased with the 10K came out as I was expecting a little better but the first quarter 2012 Q is the one that will make things interesting. Just need to to increased sales form all the hype of NOV-DEC last year. GLTU and let's hope a US network deal is announced soon.
I remember those over at DU$$. Situation has stalled there though so just being patent. Adding more RFMK tomorrow.
Been with RFMK way longer than DUSS. Haven't seen you over on the DUSS board much lately. What's your buddy ZD been up to? Like both your thoughts on DUSS going forward. You can PM me if you prefer but I don't have PM to converse but I would be glad to exchange e-mails if you like
Good to see you here LL8 and it sucks that you can't post on DUS$ right now but you'll be back soon. Been with RFMK way longer than DUS$ and am hoping she finally pops soon!
GO RFMK!
Not that cold Woody just a lot of snow this winter. Most of the time we stay in to 20s at night but a few days in the teens. Just makes it a little tricky getting around due to the snow and ice. A DUSS PR about a US network deal will warm me right up though! GO DUSS!
Greetings once again from Afghanistan my fellow DUSSers! Another snow storm has arrived and another foot of snow is accumulating on top of last week’s foot. Gotta love it!
I have been in DUSS for quite some time and been reading this board and the boards of the other stocks I play in, but this board and its banter from both sides is getting old people. Know this. Everyone posting on the DUSS board is here to make money in one way or another. This is a PINKie and most if not all of you play the PINKs in a flipping strategy due to the inherent risk of..well…because it’s PINKieland!
Some of us (myself included) will once in a while find a stock that looks intriguing and shows potential for a long term (define that as you like) play so we do our DD and decide to roll the dice. Most here just flip PINKs as that is the safest overall strategy if there was one down here in PINKieland. This is only my 4th long(er) play. I am up huge on one, and the jury is still out on the other 2, although I expect to lose everything on one of them and that is just the nature of the beast. I am still up in total which is what matters most. It's all high risk down here no matter how you play it.
I am seeing more new comers to the DUSS board and I want to provide you all with a more middle ground perspective since you aren’t getting much of that between the two sides on this board. I am pro DUSS though and am looking forward to big things down the road from DUSS. There is a lot of exciting potential but that is all based off of speculation right now and not hard facts. What I really don’t understand is why some here ever got excited about the 10-K when it’s the 1st quarter report that is really going to matter. We have very little to go on besides FB posts and Tweets but using those to analyze sales along with others who have used store sales and “sold out” placards to deduce a strong final quarter IMO is a little off base since most of that info became available after the final quarter was done. It's good DD by those of you who spent the time and effort to find it and post it but it all adds up to a pretty nice first quarter not a final 2011 10-K IMO.
I stated this a while back and I also said that I hope I’m wrong but I don’t expect to see anything fabulous coming out of this 10-K. The ONLY “advertising” per say that Dussault Apparel has is its show and whatever word of mouth they can get. FB and Twitter work as a form of this because people have to tell other people to go to the specific sites in order to begin following DUSS. Word of mouth is a very slow way to try and build a business and is generally unsuccessful because it takes too long to be able to endure expenses while trying to grow. FB and Twitter help to accelerate this to a point but the jury is still out as to whether combined they can actually help sustain DUSS while we wait for news. That means DUSS must rely on the show to provide the advertising of the apparel and generate sales until there is something worthy to spend PR money on.
Dussault Inc did not start airing on CITY TV in Canada until Sept 2011. At least this is the first time that a PR came out on Dussault Inc and its airing. Once the show started, I can deduce that it would take 2 or 3 episodes to start generating the interest needed to peak viewer interest enough to look at possibly buying Deuce Custom Ink Apparel.
By my calculations, that means sales wouldn’t have starting picking up until October which is a little late to help the 2011 10-K. Now 1st quarter FY12 not only had sales picking up due to the airing of Dussault Inc. (let’s not start debating how much this matters or not) but also had the Christmas holiday season in it. This is the one for me that is going to help me decide if DUSS is going in the right direction without injecting any other speculation or rumor into the equation. I am not trying to disrespect anyone else’s DD becasue it's all been great to see. All I am providing is what my DD tells me and that is to not put too much emphasis onto the 10-K and look more toward the first FY12 quarterly report numbers.
Rumors and PPS: US network deal. How much will it spike the PPS if this occurs? To me, that would depend on whether it is released before or after the 10-K and what the 10-K says. If the 10-K is released and is awesome like some of you think it will be (doubt it considering what the NT-10-K detailed) , then we will see a PPS increase at this time, then the US network deal announcement IMO will provide an even bigger PPS spike while also helping to maintain the vast majority of the gain in PPS and away we go! What I hope is that investors here are not using the 10-K numbers to decide their next move since there isn’t any reason to think that it will be good. You might as well sell now because this stock may be going lower when it comes out if these are the numbers you are leveraging your DUSS investment on. Sell if you want when it comes out on the 15th but if PPS dips then I will be buying more from your loss that much I know. I also know a few other longs on this board that will be doing the same!
A US deal announcement before the 10-K (running out of time for this to happen)will make the PPS rise but if the 10-K then comes out and is not favorable it could actually negatively affect the PPS rise and possibly stall it since you would then have two pieces of conflicting data: one is speculative in nature and the other is real. How does the ole standard of “buy on speculation and sell on news” work here then? Will speculation outweigh the news? In this case, I think it will but PPS gain will not be as strong due to the news. Gain is gain though. I am hoping that if there is a US network announcement that it happens towards the end of this month after the PPS has settled from the 10-K release.
This is simple math my fellow investors. Why are so many here so wound up about the 10-K? I came into DUSS as a long play this past summer due to the fact that it is a small, relatively new Apparel business that has a great creative designer/CEO behind it that is designing apparel that fits today’s genre and has celebrity appeal and connections. Add to this that the apparel industry is a trillion + dollar a year industry worldwide and I see potential. DUSS has the potential to be successful without the reality show but there would have to be a lot more money invested in marketing to make this happen. Let’s not debate whether a US deal is going to happen or not as this bit of specualtion isn’t going to affect PPS unless it’s actually announced so let’s wait and see. I am betting on this to happen but there is no need to debate whether it will or not.
Dussault Inc is the kicker though but I only feel that it’s pertinent if it gets aired in the US but this has to happen soon (Spring/Summer) IMO as 2 seasons have already been filmed and I don’t think a 3rd will occur without US airing of the current season(s) to test US market interest. A 3rd season may not happen anyway but I think it imperative to test the US before a 3rd will be even plausible to begin filming. Yes we have read Twiiter and/or FB “slips” about the possibility of Europe network deals but we all know that the whale is the US market. If this happens, everyone here WILL make money. If it doesn’t, there is still a chance DUSS succeeds, but it probably won’t be worth flipping (for those of you that are) as its growth will be much slower. I’m in for a while either way as my DD shows me a different picture that I believe is worth a little time. I have other plays to keep me occupied in the interim.
What I do know is that this DUSS iHub board is not having any effect on the PPS because the whales that we want and need do not care what we have to say here. They only care about viable news. That’s when they will lay their money on the table. It’s great to share thoughts and opinions but in the end it’s all about your own DD and what picture it paints for you personally to make a decision on opening your wallet and for how long before you close it back up and put it back in your pocket.
In the interim, let’s try and keep it civil and not get too bent out of shape if others don’t agree with what we each are saying. I am long and strong in DUSS with 7 figures worth of shares and I could easily lose it all if I’m wrong. The main point is that I just don’t ever gamble with money I can’t afford to lose. I like my track record though so I am staying “all in” with DUSS.
GLTA!! GO DUSS!!!
This bad boy will role! PRs will come at the appropriate time and we will reap the rewards. I am sitting on enough DUSS shares to retire on (again) so I am looking forward to the next few months. Would love to be a millionaire before I leave Afghanistan again in late March but I don't expect that to happen and am not actually counting on anything like that short term as I am looking at riding this throughout the year to see what transpires.
If DUSS does become a crazy bagger then I will sell off a million shares and then ride the rest down the road a bit. The apparel industry is lucrative and Dussault Apparel can ride the show to become the next big trend in designer apparel and that would mean huge sales down the road which in turn brings huge profits which in turn brings large PPS!
GO DUSS!
Liable has already stated that he has flipped DUSS about 3 or 4 times so he is still trying to get some cheaper shares before the big rush for one final push. Once US deal is announced DUSS won't be worth trying to flip since each subsequent Q will trump the last as Dussault Apparel begins its expansion.
Even if a US deal does not occur for some reason, this does not mean the death of DUSS. It just means that it will just take longer to establish a concrete marketing plan along with distribution contracts to push Dussault Apparel merchandize out and build the bottom line for us investors.
It doesn't appear to me that Jason is doing everything he is doing in order to accept failure down the road. He felt that once and in researching him, he doesn't seem to be the type that relishes that feeling so I expect him to succeed. Depends on how he sees it.
My philosophy is that I have never failed at anything in my life. I have learned a lot from the adversity that life has brought on many occasions but I have never failed. To me, if you accept failure once, then it is a lot easier to accept it again and again down the road. It may be semantics to some but to me it's a completely different thought process and way of life. I feel that Jason holds close to the same mentality and will do everything he can do ensure that this new adventure will put him over the top. If he gets there, so do we!
I am looking forward to the day I see Dussault Apparel and/or Deuce Custom Ink Apparel outlet stores sitting right next to the True Religion outlets and competing at every level including stock price! Think about that! TR broke $10 a share in it's first 18 months on the market and rose to $20 PPS a year later.
With a US deal on Dussault Ink , the free marketing that it will bring should easily bring multiple dollars a share because Jason's apparel line is edgy and will capture a strong following which will propel DUSS to new profitable heights!
GO DUSS!
Back from vacation and good to see some PPS rise. Good to see more DUSSers on board now. Back into Afghanistan for a few months so I will be tracking on a alternative schedule again since OTC doesn't open until 6pm my time now.
Got my Deuce hoodies for my son and I for Christmas and they are awesome! They run a little small so if you decide to buy any then keep this in mind. Got compliments from mine almost everywhere I went.
Don't forget to lock your shares down with a sell price so MMs can't use them to manipulate share price. This will also help in a more rapid PPS rise when PR hits.
GO DUSS!!
Good stuff LL8. That is what we are hoping comes to fruition. All the little tidbits of information can add up to a pretty nice picture for the future of DUSS. I'm counting on it!
GO DUSS!
Well put DKB. We all have are ways of looking at DUSS and its potential. I don't even bother thinking about Open Sundaes as that is a side step right now. I do believe Dussault Apparel is in line with what is hot and edgy right now such as the MMA style of apparel, Christian Audigier, Ed Hardy and other popular brands currently. It will be hard to break into this genre without an aggressive marketing campaign matched with distribution contracts. Dussault Ink provides the marketing edge and with it will come the merchandising and distribution contracts. This will only happen if it gets on a US channel as the US is where the money is so I am with u on that.
GLTY!
GO DUSS!
Amen LL8!
GO DUSS!
I actually do have a bottle of Macallan Cask Strength and do love a good Highland but my favorites come from Islay and a very nice bottle of Laphroaig 30 year old is what I'm looking forward to. Probably have a few sips of the Macallan as well. Hopefully in celebration of a strong PR and a huge PPS spike!
GO DUSS!
Could be worse. You could be here in Afghanistan with me! Haven't had a drink in quite some time. Plan on a little catch up on that soon. Nice bottel of Single Malt waiting for me at home.
GO DUSS!
Maybe you would like to clarify your statement here liable as to what you mean about making clothes per order.
The way you made your statement is deceptive. Is that the way you intended it to be? In case you were being logical in your statement but not including the entire picture for whatever reason, let me clarify Dussault Apparel's current business practice as it relates to this per order misconception:
It is true that any limited collections of Dussault hoodies and headwear are only produced based upon demand. Yes Dussault Apparel outsources the manufacturing of these orders to third parties. Upon submission and receipt of the order the client / retailer is required to prepay 50% of the order, with the balance payable on delivery. When Dussault Apparel places the order with a manufacturer for production, they pay for the manufacturing costs upon completion. They do not have any agreements in place for manufacturing, given this model.
Given this order by order business model, Dussault Apparel can function without maintaining large inventories and reduced warehousing of products. This is a good thing for now but will be a detriment down the road when supply and demand increases but I am sure that Jason will evolve his business model to compliment this future increase in merchandise demand.
What this means though is that the retail outlets that carry Dussault Apparel merchandise put in a bulk order for what they need to back fill. In understanding how retail sales works as it relates to marketing, retailers do not commit to large distribution orders of new apparel lines until they test the efficacy of said merchandise on their target audience (at least successful ones don’t). Instead retailer initial orders are smaller as they want to rate sales of the new merchandise across their market to first test product demand and sales volume. Poor sales means bye-bye to the line and no long term contract. Good sales lead to merchandising contracts and future orders to maintain merchandise on the shelves.
Jason’s business model has its advantages currently as it allows keeping overhead down with no need for warehousing of the merchandise by Dussault Apparel. As for the retailers that are ordering on a “by order” basis, they decide the extent of their orders by how fast product(s) are selling and how much room they have to store the product to refill shelves for fast selling product. No retailer is going to want to allow any strong selling products to sell out so they order before they run out.
Many of the stores from this last merchandise run sold out of many items before getting restocked. This may be the fault of the retailer not reordering in a timely manner, fault of Dussault Apparel in getting the merchandise the retailers did reorder to them in a sufficient and timely manner, or a combination of the two. I am betting on the latter as this process takes a while to assess and become fluid between the two sides. Some of these stores may not have had they level of success that they desired so they decided not reorder. Apparel is a fickle beast as what is hip on one block can be seen as a total lack of style on the next block.
It’s possible that the Retailer Order-Dussault Purchase Order-Order Production-Order Shipment-Store Shelves Restocked process still needs some more refining to reduce lag in getting merchandise back to the retailer shelves. The retailers having strong Dussault Apparel sales will readjust there follow-on purchase orders to ensure that they don’t run out next time. Once demand becomes large enough, Jason will be forced to begin warehousing some product in order to keep up with demand. But by this time, product sales will be more than sufficient to cover the overhead involved.
The beauty of Jason’s business model currently is that he puts the “warehousing” piece on the retailers as they can order as much as they want on a “per order” basis as long as they have 50% of the cash up front to pay for the order.
Anyone that thinks Jason is taking orders from individual customers such as you and I is clearly misguided and that is being conservative. The customers are retailers who buy in “bulk” orders and that bulk will continue to grow as the Deuce Custom Ink name becomes more known.
US network deal (let's hope for the DUSScovery channel) and all of my fellow DUSSers and me here are not going to be feeling as special anymore in sporting our Dussault and Deuce Hoodies around the block anymore as we will be seeing them everywhere! I’m fine with that considering the 7 figures of stock I have. Anyone else for not feeling special?
GLTA! GO DUSS!
I got the White Lion Hoodie for my son and I ordered the Black and Graphite Phoenix Hoodie for myself. Going to get a Skull Hoodie once they get 2X size back in stock. Very good customer service from the Dussault Apparel site. They e-mailed me a few times and shipped in a few days.
