This way, they have a product to sell. The next tool to come along is hired as the salesman (no salary, 100% commission).

but that's literally what I was doing...do they just mince everyone, have all the product, and never sell any? how does that get them any money?

They make you make the product for less than it's worth, then they sell you the product for more than it's worth, and pocket the difference.

They mince you when your buying power disappears.
