Hi all,

Anybody ever pitched hand buzzers?

You don't need to pitch that type of stuff. If you have it visible enough, it will sell itself. I do think that hand buzzers are past their time though. I sell things like:

Snap Gum
Shock Pens
Rattlesnake Eggs
Rattlesnake Egg Magnets
Snappers

That stuff is cheap to buy, and has a good resell price.

I still do good selling hand buzzers ... I don't "pitch" them, they just hang there. In fact, I don't leave any laying around open as most people expect these things to "shock" when they in fact do not. Fart whistles, puff cigarettes, and fake doggie do are also good sellers.

Dunno where this is going but: Are we magic shops or pitchmen? I'm sure you can make money from just about anything but my understanding of this particular part of the forum was it is about pitching. If I'm wrong, please correct me.

Going back to the original subject, I do have a short sales pitch when I notice someone is looking at them ... "that's the #1 best selling ACME joy buzzer as seen on the movie 'who framed roger rabbit' ... you'll notice those are not the cheap plastic ones they sell at wal-mart, those are the good metal ones that will last you for a long time".

And do buy the good metal ones too, those cheap plastic ones are junk that will come back to you.

How much do you sell them for Joe Joe?


Don, find it amazing that SS Adams had 94 employees over 3 floors turning them out. Daily production must have been huge. Whas it a production line or did each employee put it together A to Z?
Anybody know how many people the factory employed in total? I mean there was also a whole line of plastic vomit and teeth to attend to.

94 was the total and they only made things as they ran out of them.I'm not sure who made what or when.I'm sure all 94 wern't making Joy Buzzwes 24/7 lol

I remember hearing somewhere that the Adams factory had to buy dead flies in bulk, in order to manufacture their "Fly in Ice Cube" joke.

That must have been some crazy place to work. SETH
