Is the sound low or is it just me?

Their payment of 1.4m in 24 months was so ridiculous that Lori and Mark said yes. Well, the deal didn't close and the entrepreneurs delivered bad quality Trunksters to their Kickstarter customers. The business shut down.

Remember to lower the volume after watching this.

They went out of business!!!! Never delivered the paid pre orders.

That guy's accent almost vanished faster than their business. lol

@kemalaziz9696 1 year ago

They got sued by Kickstarter for being a scam and then shut down

update for anyone that doesn't want to look it up lol.

deal never went through.

many never received the product over 1500 demanding refunds and multiple lawsuits.

of the few that received the product complained about terrible quality and wanted refunds,

all socials deleted, website went dark, and the owners are unable to be found.

so just a big scam.

Lithium ion batteries in your luggage sounds like a liability nightmare to me.

Robert ABSOLUTELY hates when people choose Mark over him. You can see and even slightly taste the saltiness at the end of the deal when it shows his face

We have shady news for our Trunkster update. The Kickstarter mentioned during the episode was successful, but it appears that Jessie and Gaston never fulfilled most orders. Of the slim number of orders that were shipped, most were reported to be of very poor quality.

Most of the potential customers and investors on Kickstarter and other crowdfunding campaigns were understandably upset, and the company has never responded or issued refunds.

The website is defunct and all social media accounts are MIA. Unfortunately, we have to report that this product might have been a scam. It’s a good thing that the deal with Lori and Mark never closed.

With the insane amount of security at airports these days, a large battery in a suitcase might be problematic.

@TheProphegy 3 years ago (edited)

$28 million dollar evaluation for something that hasn’t even shipped to a single person and has nothing unique about it. Any luggage company can easily rip this off. The fact they weren’t thrown out the door is wild. They seem so shady.

@a000ab 3 years ago

But isn't it such that your check-in luggage should not have battery inside?

Barbara: "The volume is low, and I can't hear this video, therefore...I'm out."

Robert was saved from losing $1.4 million.

Update: Turns out it was a scam. Deal never went through. People who preordered never received the luggage, and now the whole company has gone dark. Jesse also went MIA shortly after. Woops!

@ytpremium7649 3 years ago

Someone needs to brand their company "I'm out" for Barbara to be in

@ericcesarmorales1195 3 years ago

None of the features were unique except the roll top door. You can add a charger to anything, and we have AirTags now, which only cost $30. I can’t believe that sharks tried to pursue this deal

7:35 when Robert said “this isn’t an investment! We’re going on a trip together 😃” had me completely dead ☠️😂

@HomestarCrawler 3 years ago

Apparently it was all a scam. They didn't deliver any luggage to their kickstarter backers and didn't issue any refunds. Deleted their social media and went silent. The deal never closed.
