In the UK today, a billion is 1,000,000,000.

Please dont continue this stupid debate. Everyone here (including you) know you are wrong.
The bad thing is not that you are wrong, but that you insult (from your VERY FIRST message) other people. And when you are wrong but at the same time a smartass you seem very silly trust me.

Firstly, I'm not wrong. What is a more realistic price for the procedure - $37.50 or $37,500. Think about it. I mean seriously - think about it.
Okay - I'll be honest - I'm not guaranteeing I'm correct - but think about it. Americans may not realise it, but the UK definition of billions is more prevalent than people think. And the UK definiton is far more credible in this situation than the US definition.
But, nonetheless, I apologise for having the temerity to disagree with you.
Secondly, if you can't take light hearted banter, then I suggest you hide behind your mummy's skirt. My first insult, of calling everyone idiots was followed by a :sobbing: . It wasn't meant to be taken seriously by uptight people such as yourself.
The only time I insulted someone properly, was when MacAttack started insulting me ("owned" anyone?).

I never said it was not good that you disagree with some opinions. What you say in your last post that "you think you are right" is correct. It is just the way you present your opinions that is irritating.
Second if i wanted to hide under my mummys skirt i would do it a long time ago. Instead of that, i answered to all of your posts. And no, although i enjoy accepting and making "light" hearted comments, i dont accept them from you, since i dont know you. If you open a conversation with a stranger calling him "idiot" (even with a smile) you must not be very popular.
As far as the mathematic topic, yes 37,000$ seem more realistic and i never thought that the price would be anything near 40$. Thats the reason this is posted here because it seems strange and we are trying to figure out what it means.
But us far as economic is related, a billion is a thousand million. The fact that you are standing still doesnt mean the earth is not orbiting the sun. Think about it, seriously think about it!
P.S. Your opinions are really antifatic. You say that calling someone an idiot is not supposed to insult him (the :sobbing: is probably considered ironic) but saying "you are owned" ( a very popular phrase among internet users) is an "insult". Dude you gotta make up your mind.

C'mon...Is a debate over math really necessary?
Anyways, I really hope HM isn't going to be $37,000. That'll put HM out of reach for most people.
Having just read the report (without doing the math) they did mention it as "potential" market. I have a feeling they'll do an estimation on what % of buyers they'll actually b able to reach. It's not realistic for them to expect everybody in the potential market to get a HM procedure done.
Especially the older dudes out there. I know my grandfather and even my dad (mid 40's) don't give a damn about their hair anymore.

A very important factor about the price is the efficacy of the procedure. If, at the beggining, it is as good as a mega-session hair-transplant, say 7000 grafts someone would rather pay 40k$ to a procedure standarized over 20 years of experience rathen than a new fresh and not-so-much tested.
I think it is possible that at the first stages it could be launched as a top-up procedure of a hair transplant. Lets say a transplant can give me 30grft/cm2 density with my current donor area. I can later use HM to add some 15-20grft/cm2 which will give the 45-50grft/cm2 which is considered to be the limit for visually normal coverage.
Through time they will develop new methods to improve the efficacy of HM (like they did with the pre-stimulated scalp trick) and HM will be able to give decent coverage even to a NW6 with thin donor area.
All this are of course speculations and i really hope that I am wrong, so that in less than 5 years we gonna have a perfect HM procedure.

and maybe you will get a nice surpriseIt will cost around the same price of a hair transplant initially. Then cheaper. Of course all depending on results, the less the results the cheaper, if it's a miracle and restores one's hair completely, expect a massive premium, although at a moderate price, maximum 'price/number of patients' ratio.
