Well, Who Would Turn Down THAT Deal?

At first, I assumed the ad contained a typo which would eventually be corrected, but I've been seeing it for weeks or months now:


Let's assume -- I'm not even going to bother to check -- that a "custom tailored billionaire suit" normally costs $1,000.

100% off that would make the cost of suit $0.

In the real world, with, you know, math, 800% off means they would pay me $7,000 to accept the suit.

I'm guessing that this ad is not a real-world offer. But if it is, I guess I'm getting a new suit. And a pile of money.

Thanks For Asking! -- 09/01/22

OK, so I blew the plan of having this thread up on Monday for a podcast today ... so it's the thread today, podcast next Friday. Unless I mess up again. Anyway:

Ask me anything in comments.

I'll reply in comments, on the podcast, or whatever.

I am doing a podcast on Friday, but it's someone else's podcast and I don't know when it will be publicly available and I'm not telling you who until I have that info, so cope.
