whether he/she would use it at least seldom/partly?

Hello again googel-ga!

1. Yes
2. Yes, 7
3. No (you have already heard my rationale behind this.)
4. If I were to buy it, which I might do to try the product initially,
the most I would pay for 6 pack would be $8 US (approx $16.50
Australian)

Thanks again googel-ga, and good luck!

I always more than happy to clarify my answers.

In your question 3 you state "at least seldom/partly".  I have told
you in a previous question of yours that I would probably not use the
product, however, I would always be willing to try it out.  I'm sure
that it wouldn't stick (like other products of this type didn't stick
for me - merely remaining a novelty - e.g. electric toothbrush,
multivitamins, etc.  I find it difficult to maintain these things.

But I would purchase it to at least try it out - it is a novel idea
that is worth experimenting with.  The most I would pay for $7US.

Also, in my answer, I thought that the tensioner would be a very novel
gift for birthdays, etc.  Have you thought about advertising it as
such?  Or marketing to novelty stores, gift stores, etc.?

Thanks again, and if you need more clarification, please feel free to
ask,

Thank you so much.
1. I realized that until i find a way to explain this product without
turning pewople  out it makes no sense to play with it.
2.  i thought web-animations could help.
3. But because floss is almost no money for the manuf. they don't
care.
4. Are 2-hand flossers complaining about flossing, in general?
5. I still don't get it why would you spend this $7 for a sixpack?You
must see some flossing problems around?
thank you

Don't lose heart.  There are many products that I am surprised are in
existence, yet, somehow, manage to maintain a money flow.  I can see
little use for a lot of 'novelty' house-hold items.

And the answer to your final question - I would purchase your flosser
as a novelty not as a practicality.  I purchased the AbTronic (you may
have seen it advertised on television) for $90 Australian for pure
novelty value, and it was worth it - hours of humour, and fun.  I
would do the same for the flosser - I get fascinated by novelty, but
it doesn't stick for the long term.  But that's all you need, right? 
If you sell a six-pack to someone, that would last for quite a long
time if they were using it in the long term anyway.  Maybe I'm wrong. 
Furthermore, it also acts as quite a nice novelty cheap gift.  I think
it is definitely worth pursuing, irrelevant of whether people will use
it for the long term - I have already told you I would buy it once.

I hope this helps you out - I'd be really glad if I helped the release
of this product.

Don't lose heart!

Hi bobby_d,
i am so frustrated, i cannot send questions (or am kicked out).

When i will post this question please answer it:

----------Floss tensioner offered on the web ??? ------(all invited,
please)

This is the 44th version of my question (re. patented new floss
holder), and it is reposted due to changes. The floss holder's page:
http://www.geocities.com/emailerss/

This floss tensioner is good for about 250 all-teeth flossing ( 250
use).

Please answer the questions briefly, and your  comments following the
last brief answer would be welcome.
1.  Is it clear from this web-page how to use this product, and how
many minutes have you (the researcher) spent on it?

2. Floss tensioners could be delivered by USPS in a $0.40
non-registered mail -- stamped or e-stamped (in theory estamping could
provide tracking of shipment in case of dispute, therefore is prefered
).
If a big known company would take the orders and promise the 
delivery, then
21-   would you order?
22-  what's the most money you would risk? 
23.  would you order with other shipping ?
24- how many pieces would you expect for that money?
25- when would you make your first order and in what $-amount ?
26- what you think could be  the biggest first order ($-wise) you 
could place with friends and then you send the product out to them  by
$0.40 mail?

 3.Floss tensioners could be delivered by USPS in a $0.40
non-registered mail,
stamped or e-stamped( in theory estamping could provide tracking of
shipment in case of dispute, therefore is prefered ).
.
 If a small company would take the orders and promise the  delivery,
then
31-   would you order?
32-  what's the most money you would risk? 
33- would you order with other shipping?
34-  how many pieces would you expect for that money?
35-  when would you make your first order and in what $-amount ?
36- what you think could be  the biggest first order (in $) you  could
place with friends and then you send the product out to them by $0.40
mail?


4. Would you like to buy and what is the highest price you would pay
for a sixpack in a grocery store (not online) ?

Thank you.

if you will find my offer acceptable, of course.

I will answer the question when it is posted - thanks for the
notification.

You may wish to make it a bit clearer before then - is the 2nd and 3rd
question the same?  Also, I don't quite understand 2.6.  Are you
asking us how much of the product we would buy to resell to friends? 
You can clarify when you post the question, if you wish.  You do not
need to do it now.

Thanks,

Bobby_D-ga

This message is simply a clarification to the "thank you"

Please do not reply, unless you actually need to raise a
clarification.

Good luck,

The contradiction (i my view) --which is not-- of your answer is the
most useful for me.
I would be very happy(in my-interpretaion way) if you would clarify
it.
thank you very much.
