    The profit on torches is the rebuy for more. You don’t need to sink a lot in material, it just has to burn bright enough to sell.

      Exactly, the guillotine is a durable/capital good. Yeah, you make more on one, but how many are you going to sell relative to torches and pitchforks?

        My guillotines have DRM, non user serviceable parts and a mandatory service contract - cough - I mean you get free IoT and smartphone integration.
