How is it a franchising scam? I'm agreeing that not guaranteeing an operating area is a bit shit, but reports (from within this very thread, no less), suggest that it is very much a real and, more, worthwhile, outfit. Then again, I don't really care if it's good or a pile of shit, there's no law against having a crappy product. Withholding pricing details is pretty standard for franchises. I would probably agree (somewhat) with a point that franchising as a system often tries to take advantage of unsophisticated people, but I don't see much evidence that this is anything more than par for the course. > Any 9yo could figure out how to attach a foam tip to an arrow. As I said, I didn't disagree with the obviousness, though it's become murkier, read more discussion below. > They've spent far more time obtaining patents and setting up complicated commercial schemes than they have developing a product.
