That entire website is crazy.

I like how it says I can use the machine as a pinball machine!

They probably haven't sold any.

The cabinets are all 3D renderings. Not a picture of a real one anywhere as far as I can tell.

The phone number to their "office" is a cell phone. The address also belongs to three or four other "companies", all of which have the same employees listed on the websites.

Far as I can tell the "company" is a father and son with a couple of employees and their real business is computer consulting, with side gigs renting AV equipment and selling Macintosh software.

The "testamonials" seem a bit faked as well. I have gotten enough email testamonials that I can tell you that real people don't talk like that.

Finally, their credit card provider is freaking PAYPAL! Come on, a real brick and mortar company can and should have a real credit card provider, and for that matter, do people really put $5000 items on credit cards?

is it just me, or were they just reselling SlikStik products after assembling them and marking the price up quite a bit?

Yep... you must be able to find the wholesaler of this cup holders...  As I don't think these guys manufacture this cup holders themselves.

Try "beverage containment system".  I'm going to market that catch phrase.  Hey Saint, next book, make sure you give me credit for that!!  ;D

Well - that site has them listed from $79-$129 for one.  Just run a search for "Webb Cup Holders" or look at the links posted above and you can find the exact same ones ranging from $21 up to $149.  So looks like they have the high end versions at the correct prices, but the cheap versions at an incredible price increase.  


And I thought I paid a lot for my $12 cupholders!

Ya know how you posted the end of the world (i.e. you were defending me?   :-* )  I SOOOO was gonna do the exact same thing, but my friggen batteries in my camera were dead!

BTW, did anyone notice the description DOES match the picture?  "they hold C and D cups really well. haven't used them much this year" matches up with the rigor mortis-like death "GRIP" that comes with not using those cupholders for their intended purpose?  It seems as if you've made those cupholders into frankfurter buns....just the thing to hold your frank....furter  ;D
