Commercial opportunity for a collaborative project

[bryannego]

I have an idea for the design and assembly of a relatively "simple"
device involving video technology.

I am hoping that there may be an electronics hobbyist on this forum
who may appreciate an opportunity to make some money while having fun.
I believe the market for this device is very large so long as the
market will wear the price.

If you would like to discuss this please send me a message and we can
arrange to discuss this off-line.

I would handle finance and markerting. The project would be based on
profit-sharing.

My collaborative partner will need to be electronically "switched on",
be a lateral thinker, have drive and lives by the philosophy that
there is a "way of solving any problem" - it just needs to be found.

Look forward to talking.

Thank you.

I am sorry to have to say this - but I it just makes me so sad that
someone, without having the faintest idea of what I am wanting to
DISCUSS would see fit to make such a damaging statement. For heavens
sake, we would not even have electricity or cars if Eddison or Ford
had allowed themselves to have their dreams stolen by the naysayers.
The world was not built by naysayers and those content to have no
vision. It was built by people with a vision and the courage to see
their vision come alive - posssibly with some failures along the way
(although it was the failures which helped produced final success).

I myself have not been successful through a lack of foresight and hard
work. I did anticipate some degree of this type of thinking although
not so early in the piece without at least an outline of the proposed
project (which may not even work - but there again it might!!) This
is why I specified a list of personal qualities that I was seeking
from any interested person.

Please, anyone - if you feel you are such a person, I would like to
hear from you. Conversation is free. Generally I would appreciate it
if restraint could be exercised from airing sentiments of a viperous
nature - life is simply too short for this sort of thing!!

If you have been so successful then why not pay someone to do the job
you need instead of trying to get it done for nix? Then you can keep
all the profits for yourself!

What you are asking for is someone to do something for you for nix, in
the vein hope that it might be successful and they might actually get
some money back for their work some day. Nothing wrong with asking of
course, but in this industry ideas are a dime-a-thousand, and a
ridiculously small percentage of product ideas actually make it.

So unfortunately, not only have you asked this on a group where people
are most able to help you out, they are also the most able to
understand the (very small) likelihood of getting a return on their
"investment".

Regards
Dave.

Umm, these guys did their own work.

YOU "have an idea" = no real work on your part", but partner has to do
real work and incurr real cost in research, design, protyping, etc.

Unfortunately, sounds like a lot of hoopla. HR/PR people think that
sounds really great, but for practical people that could deliver what
you want, it is like a enormous warning klaxon and a big LED sign sayig
BULLSHIT.

Note you are again demanding stuff from other people without
demonstrating how you have been successful in the past.

If people have been around for a few years, then they have had a gutful
of people with simple ideas that will make a fortune. You are not the
first and unfortunately, will not be the last.


Quite a few people have successfully posted on this newsgroup wanting
assistance/partners. Have a look at how they did it.
