This guy definitely won't be one of those guys that spend all their money and go bankrupt after they get out of the NFL.

Cool story.

"Pollard says he got the idea several years ago when he heard women complaining about lack of space in the bathroom. An avid fan of "Shark Tank," the entrepreneurship show featuring Mark Cuban, Pollard drew up sketches until he was satisfied. The end result of his hard work is available on stylepro31.com for $39.99 (Pollard's jersey number is 31)."

I would never thought that something so stupid may be useful lol. And the price is ridicously high. He is making like 300% margin on each. I don't have idea how he calculatd the cost of the modling from, but it will be likely 130$ kUSD or similar, so given that included in price and sales quantites formatkę next 10 years, his profit is much less than 300. But just on material and manufacturing costs he has like 500% margin! out of which he needs to cover form, shop, all transports and packaging. Still thinking, he has really good money on it.

I guess this is good if you have a pedestal sink or a small vanity. This does not really fix the mess problem. You just move the mess from one spot to another then back again...

I definitely applaud him for taking the time and putting the work in on developing this, but the whole idea of this product must be going right over my head?

It looks like there was a ton of cluttered shit on the sink before, now there's just a ton of cluttered shit on a plastic tray in the same place. I don't really get how this solves the issue at all?

I can see it being nice for pedestal sinks, where you just can't put anything anywhere. Or if you're doing your makeup or something in front of the mirror and need somewhere to put your stuff. It seems mostly useful when you are in the middle of doing something - hair, makeup, etc - where you need to have quick access and can't be ducking around grabbing things from the floor or cabinets.

I personally don't have a use for it (plenty of counter space), but I can see how some people could use it.

Either way, good on him.
