40,000 retail outlets that on average maybe sold 2 sponges? 80,000 x $7.99 = $639,200 in collectible total revenue. Lets be really generous and say they sold 10 sponges. That would then make it $3.196 million in collectible revenue. Not good, considering what they spend on advertising. Of course the ads are more targeted towards investors than real customers.

That's the hype, but is it the reality? There is no need to drop prices 75% in six months on hot selling items. But SPNG has seen rapid retail price deterioration.

It's not rocket science. People should use their heads a little. If it were not for the prospect of making money on the stock, how exciting is a sponge purchase?. I mean, really. It's a gimmicky product and inferior to established brands in terms of price, quality of wax, etc. Even most of the advertising is targeted at stock buyers. This appears to be a stock selling game above all else


They have increased sales revenue ten fold and have increased distribution from 14,000 to well over 40,000 retail outlets with a target of 140,000 retail outlets.
