<h3id="results-of-the-experiment">Results of the experiment</h3>
<p>AS of 7th October 2018 A.D., I have sold zero of the cassette tapes from
the experiments.</p>
<p>I note the following that occurred during the experiment:</p>
<ul>
<li>Approached more than five sellers - if I recall correctly - to see if
they wanted to sell their tapes through the <ahref="http://en.sgtapes.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page">wiki</a>
that I had set up. Those sellers had been selling through an e-commerce platform.</li>
<li>Agreed to help one seller list his tape on the wiki; he claims he did not know how to use that wiki. He is the only seller on that wiki, other than me, as it turns out (as of 4th October 2018 A.D.)</li>
<li>Got banned from logging into my account on the afore-mentioned e-commerce platform; its staff claim I was “touting” and they do not allow touting.</li>
</ul>
