My million dollar idea I want someone to steal and do, so I can be a customer.
"Dumb Stuff" we sell electronic appliances that aren't Internet connected. That's all.
That's it. That's the pitch. I would buy the <bleep> out of this company if their electronic gadgets were even half way decent, and repairable.
Electronic, no wifi, regular screws to open it up. That's it. Do those three things, and you can be sold by this store.
I will pay this business to curate and find these devices for me.
@pseudonym If you're serious, I would begin my search for appliances in Latin America, where people don't buy products with nonsense features or that are not easily repairable. You'll find stoves that are just stoves. Refrigerators that are just refrigerators. It's like the 1960s but all new using the latest high-tech, high-efficiency, low power consumption compressors, etc.
There are many brands to choose from in Central and South America. Find out where they are sourced and import them.
@shuttersparks @pseudonym they would need UL certification in the USA, and that's not cheap.
@PaulDavisTheFirst @pseudonym True, although I've run many products through UL certification, including for security and fire equipment, which has much tighter requirements. You just jump through the hoops and pay for the testing. It's not that bad. But it's not free and it takes time, so yeah.
