How many Yugos were sold? How many Pocket Fisherman did Ron Popeil sell? Numbers sold really mean very little since people can be convinced to buy almost anything...
What would be really telling is repeat purchases.
Those are the 2 best examples you could come up with???? LOL!!!
Yugo's were the most inexpensive automobile in their time. They were in the bottom of the class, but still produced for over 40 years. The Yugo served a worldwide market. Well, you can easily find a 5er hitch for much less than the UH, has only been around a few years and it serves only a portion of the RV market in the USA. And the pocket fisherman actually gets great reviews on Amazon, so not sure how that's even relevant.
Why would anyone be a "repeat buyer"??? If it works, it works. No reason to buy another one unless they made a significant improvement. I wasn't aware that hitches were apparently a "throw-away" product...LOL
