After three shark attacks in Sydney, Australia in the past few weeks sales of Paul Lunn’s Shark Shield have increased by 50 percent, according to as story in The Australian.
SeaChange Technology, the Adelaide company that produces the electronic “Shark Shield”, says inquiries have tripled over the past two months and sales have increased by 50 per cent. “We cannot keep up with production. Twice in the past two months we’ve increased our production line only to find immediately that we have to do it again,” SeaChange Technology co-founder Paul Lunn said. The device, which costs between $600 and $700 depending on the model, weighs 80 grams and can fit into the palm of a mans hand.
And what a perfect sales pitch: is your leg, arm, or life worth $700 AUS?
