Interesting eMail

[GMan]

I get interesting e-mails all the time, but somehow I missed that one.

Not to mention the fact that there aren't any **** kilt manufacturers at the top of this page as sponsors either.

Ah, but there are two sponsors (at least) that sell kilts, sporrans, etc that are made and manufactured in Pakistan or other off shore countries.

I was looking at my spam folder tonight, looking to see if a reply to an email I'd written had somehow gotten filtered there. To my surprise, I discovered an email from Sider International, a kilt making company in Pakistan. They had, they said, gotten my business details off my website, and were interested in making kilts for my business.

The thing is, I don't have a business. And the only place I've ever mentioned that I was considering selling kilts was a thread here, where we were discussing the economics of making and selling kilts, wherein I decided that I couldn't afford to do so, unless I could lower my production costs by having the kilts made overseas.

Which makes me wonder just how many people are reading our threads.....

I got the very same email last week. Odd. Very odd.

The thing is, I'm a very poor salesman. If I don't completely believe in my product, I couldn't sell ice to Arabs. If I'm making something, I can sell it, because I know how it was made, and what its strengths and weaknesses are. If I'm trying to sell something someone else made, particularly if I believe it to be sub-standard, I fail. Utterly.

So, if anyone else wants to start a cheap kilt business out of their garage, as per Steve's suggestion, it sounds like these guys might be a way to do it. But for me? I'll stick to nursing, with the occasional costume piece made for friends.
