MyPillow is auctioning off hundreds of pieces of equipment and subleasing manufacturing space after several shopping networks and major retailers took the company's products off shelves.

The Chaska-based manufacturer recently listed more than 850 "surplus equipment" items on the online auction site K-Bid. Sewing machines, industrial fabric spreaders, forklifts and even desks and chairs are up for auction.

Founder and CEO Mike Lindell said MyPillow has experienced a loss in revenue and the items are no longer needed as the company consolidates its operations.

Yeah, it’s kind of amusing when people who don’t know shit about cybersecurity pretend they know something about cybersecurity.

[drSteve78]

Sadly, same.

> It’s very unfortunate what’s happening to Mike Lindell, a lot of it he invited on himself. <

Correct. Lindell unwisely went with the direct, Pickett’s Charge approach. That approach rarely works, especially when so much is aligned against you.

We saw the same thing with Bud Light. They caused a lot of their own problems.

Ah, but there is a significant difference. Bud Light is being boycotted by individuals. The beer sits in the cooler. Buy it or not. It’s up to you. That’s the American way.

My Pillow is being boycotted by companies. They are being removed from stores. You can’t buy one there even if you wanted to. That’s most certainly not the American way.

Comparing My Pillow to a woke brewery?

What is it you dislike about them so much that you decided to badmouth a super patriot?

Mine was literally a piece of junk and fully "fluffed out" was no more than one inch thick.

I don't question his Patriotism and I regarded my purchase as a contribution to him, but the pillow was useless.

[Lizavetta]

His cross necklace pulled out and over his collar and dangling so you can see it shtick is so off putting to me. Feels like he's trying to monetizing his Christianity with hucksterism.

I understand he's had a rough drug-fueled past and finding Jesus changed his life. Great. I'm happy for him.

But using the I'm a Christian buy my products approach doesn't work for me.

[mewzilla]

I HATE this ‘cancel culture’ we’re living in. It’s disgusting!

So folks should buy Bud Light, Ben & Jerry's, watch FNC...?

[CletusVanDamme]

I like the pillows we bought from him better than any others I have ever owned.

We love our my pillows. You have to make sure you get the right firmness, though. I bought a medium and a soft pillow, and I ended up removing some of the fill on the medium one, because it was too firm.

it’s kind of amusing when people who don’t know shit about cybersecurity pretend they know something about cybersecurity.

I work at a small company and so wear many hats. I will say when the CIO is out on vacation, the CEO is comfortable with me speaking on Cyber Topics.

I'm not sure how technical you are so I'll spare you the code-speak. But in a nutshell, Lindell succeeded where the NSA failed because he was able to follow up on all leads. I read the actual packets were captured in an underwater ISDN line the government ruled out. Mike knew if there was a crack in the pipe he'd be the the one to find it.

best pillow i have owned by far

Not at all, it’s about pointing out wild and crazy conspiracies that undermine the MAGA agenda.

Did cheating undermine the 2020 election and did it cost Trump the election, absolutely, the way you go about proving it, is not to throw out conspiracies that have no basis in fact.

Just one more thought, if China was actually hacking the 2020 election, why would the hackers be located in China making them easily traceable but organizations like the NSA.

What if the Chinese Hackers were located inside the USA, what if the hackers were using proxies or other ways to hide their real location, there is zero chance a hacking group sophisticated enough to hack an election in the USA would be dumb enough to allow their physical location to be discovered thru packet captures.

[drSteve78]

dislike about them..

Uncomfortable pillows. Hurt my neck. One of the cats love them, the dogs not so much. And no one was Badmouthing anyone. Never left a review either.

[Psalm 73]

Because we should all be buying our bedding from Red China. Didn’t you get the memo?

[Herodes]

Agree...we have the pillows in all of our bedrooms. No buyers remorse...the pillows are great and do exactly what is claimed.

[Reily]

One of the fraudsters was Dennis Montgomery!
I’ve been told from a personal source Montgomery scammed Lindell for at least a million dollars likely more.

[Flaming Conservative]

Oh my Lord! Almost as bad as someone offering to pray for you! /sarc

[YouGoTexasGirl]

Yes, we have sheets, towels and bath mats (the towel like version) and we like them. But, we are overstocked at the moment.

I bought two cool pillows and like them although I had a few issues with the regular pillows. I think it was the fill capacity since I like a more flat pillow.

God Bless Mike Lindell and those he employees. Government and Deep State are trying to kill businesses. Mike will survive them!!!

[Diana in Wisconsin]

You know what I mean. People should ‘vote’ with their dollars, but the mean-spiritedness that the Leftists use against ‘We The People’ who disagree with their stupid commie plans is a sight to behold.

And, yes. I want ALL forms of Fascism and Socialism gone from America - but that’s not going to happen either. :(

[srmanuel]

Correct, it’s not the American Way, but it’s the way things are now and not realizing that is naive at best and insane at worst.
