I can accept if my read on Lori is wrong but if you actually think she is the savviest of anyone on the show then you pretty much have no ****ing clue.

I would say she is probably more savvy than the average person that comes on the show though.

Barely.

Secondly, Lori was impressive last season. This time around, especially the last 3 episodes or so, she has tanked.

Thirdly, you're a tad over-excited about it.

Nice to see someone beat Mark Cuban for once, especially that it was Mr.Wonderful.

The grannies made a massive mistake imo not going with Daymond. Am I the only one who doesn't like Barbara and wishes she wasn't on television?

I wouldn't want to do a deal with her personally over the others for most topics, but for people who are in the consumer goods space for things like snacks, baked goods, etc., I think she is absolutely the best person on the panel.

She will obviously "get" the Grandmas more, get it in tons of stores, and communicate and help market the product better then anyone else IMO.

Those grannies came on wanting a deal with Barbara imo and i think she knew that which is why her initial offer was so low

Can anyone explain wtf this guy was thinking? I know Kevin did lots of business with toy companies, but I'm sure Cuban being who he is can get those same connections.

That t-mobile plug tilted me. If I had his kinda money it would take a lot of $$$ to make me sell out that hard.

Overall weak episode.

I liked the costume. I'd buy one for Halloween at $99. I don't remember the specifics, but I think he had $0 sales and valued the company at $750k. The sharks were 'ok' with it (although they said it was high). Yet they jump on everyone else that comes on the show with $0 sales as idiots for their valuation. And if you caught what the costume guy said... the costumes are made out of currently existing toys. So he really had nothing to offer.

Im a little late but the chick that cried and got Lori to invest in the 5-way baby changing pad, cart cover etc etc...

That thing is brilliant, if it works nearly as well as advertised and she can get it down to $30-40 retail it is a gold mine. The individual cost for everything it does is way more than $30-40 and the way it collapses down saves a ton of space.

Even though there was nothing proprietary about the costumes, that **** looked badass.

The grannies could have easily knocked Cuban-Barbara down by 5%. When you've got the upper hand, make the counter. 5% is huge!

I think they were too hard on the real estate guy. Zillow basically does the same thing. Their estimator thing is crap too. It doesn't matter if it's accurate or not. What matters is if customers use it. Now if the sharks just have a problem with it morally okay I guess I understand that.

I checked out the website. http://www.revestor.com/home It has a good design. Good name. Charging $99 per month for it is stupid though.

Good god some of the rent numbers in the area I am in currently are downright awful in terms of being anywhere near accurate.

Maybe I'm a wimp but I think haggling with these guys for 5% equity is foolish. The downside (them going out) vs the upside (getting a few extra points) isn't worth it.

An alliance with a shark is such a meal ticket that I believe, within reason, any offer is one you should really take.

Is having the cubes really so much better than getting the others for less equity sacrifice? He gets like every deal that's made, plus his own projects, how much time does he have? I can't even remember the last time Robert made a deal in the shows history and he doesn't seem to want to anyway. He's not entertaining at all either so in not sure why he's on the show anymore.
