IMO.

A sale is a sale

and the team including I have bought Zippy’s before and chances are we are going to buy them again.

I too would like to see Mike carry Zippy (just add a disclaimer) about the quality or what not!.
If Mike sold them I and probably others wouldn’t have to feel guilty

about getting them and who knows that might just add sales which adds to the bottom line..
Just my two cents..
