I figured out how to make a ddr pad that works on any surface, folds up realy small, never slips, never wears out, has no moveing parts, and can be used by a person of any weight size. I have a prototype built and working. My question is would any one buy one if I were to sell them cheep for about $60.?

What you should do is send a couple out to some on the board here that you know and are well respected. Then they can test it and write up a review. If the reviews are good, then I'm sure people will buy from you, and word of mouth will be your best friend. I think this is how Cobalt Flux started.

I highly doubt anybody here will steal your idea.

Yeah I wouldn't worry about these boards. But you can always apply for a design patent without actually having produced the product. Then you'd be safe. It sounds very promising, good luck! Just make sure you use a spell checker when you apply E13.gif

geez! of course i would buy...right now i am saving my money for a cobalt flux, but i would MUCH rather pay $60 than $300, and fold up pads would be really nice. good luck!

and i think sending a couple to people u trust would be a good idea, though i don't think anyone here would steal ur idea, and even if they did, we'd vouch for ya!

You aren't peddling those crappy metal pads you have to put together yourself... are you? Or those Plastic Pads (not the hard ones or the soft ones)? If not, sign me up E1.gif

All I would be worried about is the sensors going out. Other than that, I can mod the thing to my comfort, so yea, gogo patent, and let us in on it!

In the online realm, credibility == Grammar. tongue.gif

But really, at least post pictures or something.

Here here. At least take the time to hype your "product" correctly.

He never asked anyone to buy them, merely asked your opinion... If your going to bash someone, at least do it right E13.gif BTW, your pro-war sig sucks riiight.gif

i agree, now if he was asking us to buy them, that would be different, but he just wants us to tell us what we thing. if it is truly as good as he says it is, and i had enough proof of it, of course i would buy!

He asked if we would buy it. I'm expressing my opinion that I would not pay $60 for something I know nothing about, and also expressing how he is coming across. He has basically said "would you pay money for the perfect item" which is pretty obvious that someone would. How about instead of asking if we would buy a perfect item, say "Here are pics and details about my item, would you buy it?"

Right now the item sounds like it's masking tape. It works on any surface, folds up really small, never slips, never wears out, and has no moving parts. It can also be used by a person of any weight. He never said anything about it plugging in to the machine E10.gif

That's a very minor technical detail. I'm sure the masking tape comes with an AC adapter.
