Here are 12 off the chain inventions. That if you think of it, are "why didn't I think of that" ideas
http://www.crazyegg.net/miscellaneous/12-brilliant-and-useful-inventions/Also, I recently had a appointment with InventHhelp, yeah some help they are. Basically they wanted me to fork over $900+ for them to do Marketing Research and Product Placement Research. At this time, I don't have funds to just throw away, just put a new engine in my car, and I got credit card bills like a mofo...So, I said I don't have the funds. Then dude comes out with the, "18 yr old comes in and plunk the money down." I tell dude (who is a salesman, foremost), that they are probably using Daddy's credit card.
I told him that I had a person who could build it, and he said that even if you had someone build it, it may take 10 grand, and if you get a patent, then what?
Anyway, I was tld by someone who went thru with it, that what happens is then they ask for 10K more, and have a third party Impex come in and cut you out of the product---they may cut a check, then make millions off of the product by selling it to a manufacturer...She said that they even pressured her by bringing someone in to talk about financing, "What's $230 a month..."
Damn racket...so has anyone invented something or know of someone who invented something, and how did they go about getting a prototype done and marketed it. Cause, I want to keep my idea...I already had a idea last yr and someone came out with something similar--a A vibrator that you can attach your Ipod to. I had designs and everything, even a "EQ pleasure adjuster"
