The sharks loved RokBlok and its innovative creation of this portable record-playing device but they did have some concerns about how niche the market might be in the modern day where many people are discarding their record collections for digital versions of their favorite old music.
Manufacturing a single unit costs about $23 and is currently being sold for just under $100. Logan told the sharks about his margins and some of them were concerned about the expensive price point. The company’s total sales are a little over $400,000, most of which came from a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign for the company, years prior.
