Basically a nice basic summary (cashback, cc points, coupons, membership, PM, and bunch of other saving techniques) but the main part of it was his pitch to become a member where he would offer tens of thousands in value through his various offerings - his excel inventory, amazon ungating exclusive facebook group etc.... so it was an infomercial This is some next level hucksterism. He's clearly been doing his research on how to structure a pitch like this. "Get all this value for the low low price of $1182." It's a shame that he doesn't seem to understand that he's undermining the future viability of this great opportunity he's pitching...or maybe he does and just doesn't care.

Bigger issue will be obtaining set early enough to be first with review video although clearly being too quick is what landed him in doodoo. So much drama in the LAN.
