Donny pitched the Sharks on spending a $100,000 on building a display of the product for the retailer so

What do the Shark Tank Investors say about Invis-a-Rack
Mark Cuban sees a capital-intensive business which creates a challenging return on investment. He is out.
Daymond John believes there are fazes you go through in life, and he doesn't think he is going through them successfully, so regretfully he is out.
Kevin O'Leary is stuck because he won't take it offshore to manufacture the rack at a reasonable cost to get it into the market. He tells Donny, you have made it impossible for the investor to get a return. Kevin is not interested because Donny doesn't want to do what it takes so, he is out.
Barbara Corcoran thinks he is particularly resistant and close-minded, so she is out.
Robert Herjavec talks about being a factory workers son, as Donny is, and it is tough when people lose their jobs. Everyone is an immigrant, and he is trying not to be disrespectful. Robert tells Donny he can't get involved when you're not taking care of your business.
