Lots of demand/desire + current price @ R7K = business opportunity for someone with a little spare cash lying around!!!!

Step 1: Make Left & Right Prototypes
Step 2: Test Fly & Tweek
Step 3: Make Moulds
Step 4: Press "G" for "Go" on the Injection-Moulding Machine!!
Step 5: R5,000 + R5,000 + R5,000 + R5,000 + R5,000 + R5,000 + R5,000 + R5,000 + R5,000 + R5,000 + R5,000 (^^) (^^) (^^) (^^)

To the person that uses this business strategy, please cut me in on 10%!!
