----------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-certified mail -- stamped or e-stamped (in theory estamping could
provide tracking of shipment in case of dispute, therefore is prefered
).
21.If a big & known company would take the orders and promise the 
delivery, then
211-   would you order?
212-  what's the most money you would risk? 
213.  would you order with other shipping ?
214- how many pieces would you expect for that money?
215- when would you place your first order and in what $-amount ?
216- what do you think could be  the biggest first order (in $ ) you 
could place by teaming up with friends (not  to resell but  to get
certified and free Shipping) and then you send the product out to them
 by $0.40 mail? Shipment would be certified and free in this case. How
many pieces would you expect for the money?

 3. If a small company would take the orders and promise the 
delivery, then
311-   would you order?
312-  what's the most money you would risk? 
313- would you order with other shipping?
314-  how many pieces would you expect for that money?
315-  when would you place your first order and in what $-amount ?
316- what do you think could be  the biggest first order (in $ ) you 
could by teaming up with friends (not to resell but  to get certified
and free Shipping )? Shipment would be certified and free in this
case. How many pieces would you expect for the money?

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.

Clarification of Question by googel-ga on 22 Oct 2002 02:52 PDT

any answer is good.

1. Yes, 7

Since I live in Australia, it would cost a lot more that $0.40 US.  So
I have answered each question under the circumstance of paying
approximately $1 to $4 Australian (I am unsure) for regular postage.

211. Probably not (too difficult)
212. If I were to buy, the most I would risk (as opposed to pay) is
$20 Australian (approx $9 to $10 US) and that INCLUDES postage - I
trust e-commerce on reliability, but I am wary that if I used it
frequently, may bank account would fall.
213. If by this question you mean "would you order with any other
postal package other than regular post?", then I would say no - I
would use regular postage.  If you mean "would you buy this item along
with other different items?", I would probably say no - I do not buy
many items over the internet from e-stores.
214. For $20 Australian, I would expect 12 pieces, but I would not pay
this much, I would only risk this much on the product.
215. My first (and probably only) order would be for $10 Australian
($4 - $5 US), and that would be expecting 6 pieces.  I would order
this when I found the site, or I saw the product offered (possibly
around Christmas time if I thought of it as a gift).
216.  Now that is a good idea.  I would probably buy 20 pieces to join
with family/friends, and for gifts.  I would expect to pay $30
Australian for this (approx $14 US).  I know in the first answer I
said I would only risk $20 Australian, but in this question, I am not
the only one paying, in fact, my share would probably less than $20
Australian worth.

For all 31 questions-
I would trust a smaller internet business as much as a larger one
(especially if I am only risking $20 Australian dollars.) - all my
answers would be the same.

4.  Yes, I would prefer to buy from a grocery store.  I would pay $12
Australian for a 6 pack.

Thanks googel, it was a pleasure doing business with you again, and
good luck!
Of course, if you need clarification, please ask!
