Dick's Gadget Warehouse & How to Submit Your Viewer Video On Any Gadget!


Our videos this week are a bit different. They feature old gadgets, but the fan Gregory, who emailed the links to us, is the inventor of them both.
Invention #1: The Nanny:
https://youtu.be/cZO81uxJaM8
I asked Gregory how much it cost to bring the product to market? He answered:
It cost approximately $5,000- $7,000 to develop the prototype. Then of course there was the cost of the package design, packaging and inventory. Marketing involved trade shows and advertising in trade magazines.
And what technology did the Nanny use between the two units?
I believe it was radio frequency. I could be wrong. I am simply the person that comes up with the product idea then hands it off to the product development team that sees if they can make it work.
The second video is my Wizard Electronic Dice.
Again, development cost was $5,000-$7,000. The engineers that developed the technology for these products to work were in China where the cost of development was 4 to 5 times cheaper that having it done domestically..
Invention #2 - The Wizard: https://youtu.be/r6hR-RBGdnU

We’d love to include your video in an upcoming Giz Wiz Show! Here's what we're looking for! Your home shot video – 2 to 3 minutes long, in any of the following categories:
I bought a piece of crap: Did you buy something you ended up hting? We won't get you a refund, but we might be able to give a platform to vent your disappointment. Remember, "family friendly" language applies.
-
I invented this! Did you invent something? (Or did a friend or relative invent something.) We can't market it for you, but we can help get the word out. Show us what it is, and how it works. Even if it's a prototype, you can get our (and the audience) reactions. No professional ads please.
-
My Gadget Warehouse: Okay, so you don't have a warehouse. It doesn't matter. Just tell us about your favorite old gadget(s). When and where you bought it, and why you're still hanging on to it.
-
My Favorite Gadget (favorite old, or favorite new): Show us what it is, tell us what it does and why you love, or loved it! It can be a new gadget you just bought too.
-
Post them on YouTube and send us the link! We'll do the rest. (Or possibly nothing, but that's unlikely.) Remember, videos should be just 2 to 3 minutes long! Low production value is fine, but we should be able to hear you and see you! If we select and show your video on The Giz Wiz you’ll earn a tiny amount of fame (hopefully). And if you live in the US, you'll also get an autographed 35-year-old Alfred E. Neuman picture and a MAD surprise (most likely the current issue of MAD.) But no matter where you live, I can email an autographed to you Alfred E. Neuman photo if we show your video. Just print it out, frame it, or just hang it up and no one will know it's a copy. We've tested it out and fans say they look terrific!
All show submissions go to mail@gizwiz.tv

Letter of the week!
Our most faithful fan Mo emails us: I need this, you guys could use this to leave GiZ WiZ on anything.
Note: The name of the product in this video is quite amusing to most, but some might say a bit naughty. You've been warned.
