Anyone heard of these? Power balance wristbands

[Cobretti]

You would think they were made from gold if they are selling for $60.

also I think they work cause people think they work.

AKA PLACEBO PILL.

Sure why not, i mean if im going all the way to Egypt I may aswell experience as much as i can. Those camels probably have a different diet to the ones around here too! Great suggestion, you've opened up my eyes to the world now and for that i thank you

Hey..... you could get a job as the caretaker!

 

[freeballs]

they sell these at Dapto markets for $20, can they even fake these?

 

[GarnettFan4Life]

I'd say the fakes would just be a variation/not legit hologram, not in original box etc

 

[freeballs]

Nah they had all that stuff on them and the guy was wearing a t shirt from the company, dodgy deals i think.

 

[GarnettFan4Life]

I think they have been cheap all along the markup was like 1000% though, now they are competing with each other to move them

When they first came out you couldn't get them for under 30dlvd, and 50-60 in the retail outlets, the prices have dropped dramatically in the last month even, you can buy 5 packs, 10 packs of just the holograms from Syd and Melb for a reasonable price too, it was looking through them that I found the cheaper ones from Hong Kong.

Can you please give me a link to where you can get the holograms from?

 

[GarnettFan4Life]

the ones from the Sydney seller must have sold

here's one from US for similar price anyway

These are a joke! They do not do anything.... Except for the weak minded or easily led! Got given one when they first came out by a customer of mine hat owns a health food store. Asked how much they retailed at and he said $40 or $50 (can't remember excatly!) so considering he gave me one for nothing that immediately rang alarm bells! I wore it for a week straight, at work, at home, at the gym and at Basketball..... seriously, it's just another gimmick that will do the rounds because there are so many easily lead people in the world! Good luck to the people making money off of this rort though!

 

[GarnettFan4Life]

but you still tried it?

so let people try for themselves I say

 

[walshy]

Its more about looking the part than feeling the effects.

 

[vivo87]

Yeah it does nothing at all, by all means try it and if it (mentally) works for you then thats great!

Yeah I did Matt, but I was also giving my opinion! Isn't that basically what these threads are for?
