... Good question. One way I can look at this conundrum is to do some simple napkin math. 100,000 orders x $500 to $1000 (retail price per eCat) comes to gross sales of approximately 50 to 100 million dollars. I can not overemphasize the term "POTENTIAL gross sales". 50 to 100 million certainly sounds impressive. I guess if I were in Andrea's shoes perhaps I would take those figures to the bank and use it as a form of financial collateral in order to secure additional funding to help scale up mass production. A loan officer might be favorably inclined to bite after reviewing the financial potential. But who really knows what Rossi is up to. Rossi strikes me as someone who has a propensity to change his business plans on a dime if it suits his best interests to do so. This is not necessarily a bad thing. It's just business.
