Guest guest Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 I was just at a BBQ last night, a " housewarming " for someone moving into his brand new beautiful domicile, paid for with the proceeds of his very lucrative means of self employment. His " work from home " job earned him in excess of $85,000.00 last year, and it looks like another good and highly profitable year. So good, in fact, that he is thinking of hiring an employee. He sells, by " word of mouth " only - Alpine air - Eco quest " air purifiers " (I could smell the ozone blazing away) I asked him about the class action suit alleging harmful effects of ozone, and he replied that it had been thrown out because there were no standards by which harmful effects could be claimed, proved, or litigated. He did, however, admit that he advises usage with greatest safety would be to only turn on the machine when no-one is around - and keep it off when the space is inhabited. When I pointed out that this machine would do nothing to resolve a building that had already been mold contaminated, which is what most people " in mold trouble " are hoping for, as the toxins are still toxic whether or not the spores remain viable, he proposed that the machine still had value as a pre-emptive measure to keep mold from growing new colonies and producing what he called " micro-toxins " . He seems like a really nice guy, believes in the product, and has himself conpletely convinced that he is providing a valuable service for his customers - even though it is not a perfect solution - at least it might help, and people need all the help they can get. I detected no trace of intentional or evil minded deceit. And he is making a ton of money. Boy, wouldn't it be nice to go to work for him? I gave it serious consideration, and tried practicing some salesmanship by saying " This product will.. gag, choke, sputter... " Damn it! I just couldn't speak the words! - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
