What happened to it?Anybody here has some spare time to write a detail explanation into what happened to that company? It did start off very well i think. |

| 379793 | 2005-08-09 21:54:00 | Can't give any specific details, but from what I remember they folded because of lack of take-up in online sales. They also relied quite heavily on their affiliate programme which just didn't generate enough interest. | Greg (193) | ||
| 379794 | 2005-08-09 22:06:00 | I recall them being linked to a high-flyer who crashed and put them out of business. They made ever-rasher decisions and their promised white knight never turned up to save their bacon. Whatever it was, they flew into turbulence and nose-dived into rising terrain. None survived.

| 379798 | 2005-08-10 02:07:00 | As usual, porcine lift and aerodynamics were greatly exagerated. The crash at the end of the runway from an altitude of 0.0M was rather unspectacular. | Murray P (44) | ||

| 379800 | 2005-08-10 06:04:00 | I could have told them it was going to fail and saved them millions, Amazon lost money for about 7 straight years before turning a profit,and that has a worldwide market. (and 3 thousand dollars lose a day is suicide.......) Did anyone here ever buy anything from Flying Pig?,I visited their site a couple of times and was completely unimpressed.... |
