    I apologize, regretted posting that the minute i did. This is an extremely debatable and bias topic, theres no right or wrong at the end of the day. just opinion. The only way for me to convey an accurate message of my opinions would be to extensively elaborate on every single word I say. I just...

    This thread is going to be awesome! Another great example of a product that will fail and carry no value over time is the nissan Leaf electric. 83miles to a charge MAX. embarrassing. Compare to the technology we have on the market (Used in tesla cars) nissan really shot themselves in the foot...

    Very interesting. Not sure if that was directed toward my comment here..but that is very good analysis I must say. I never discriminate what one thinks of life, to each their own. but is the case you made of "Rappers" success, Seldom do they make it. In America, every single person has the...

    Just to add for the persons replying with interest in this thread, all I ever see on this topic are suppliers overseas. SERIOUSLY, there are dozens, if not hundreds of warehouse distributors and suppliers in your own town/city. Google them, give them a call, walk in, ask for a product list. We...

    I would much rather see more threads regarding ones personal optimism for success, but based on their past accomplishments. Atleast if we understand their past accomplishments, we can provide advice on how to direct their talents. Ultimately, it is pertinent that we pursue our goals of...

    Increasing the Bankroll

    INTRO 
    @eliquid yes it is illegal, but not enforced. Its illegal because you aren't paying taxes on the transaction and the rules are there to protect dealerships. But, millions of people flip millions of cars a day on craigslist and its just a common thing. Its also illegal to sell your used stuff and...

    OPEN INVITATION - Please find my flaws and shoot me down in flames

    I think this thread has made some tremendous progress so far. Great info on patents and generally we all have made similar points on how to go about this venture. But from what im noticing, youre banking too much success of this venture on the premises that you will scare one "big competitor"...

    Increasing the Bankroll

    INTRO 
    most of the time i deal with simple people that are buying a car under 3k. They don't care. they know you are flipping the title, and they don't usually care. as long as they can go to the dmv and register it they're happy. even if they didn't like the fact that the car wasn't registered in your...

    What are your most audacious goals?

    Every day I make progress on long term and short term goals. Most of my time goes into short term and a portion goes into my long term goals. Life isn't about getting rich and taking care of myself, its about producing something tangible that helps society move forward. Each day I work closer...

    Increasing the Bankroll

    INTRO 
    yes, in the US its usually 5 per year if you register them in your name. but when flipping cars on craigslist, you flip the title. The seller you bought the car from signs the title and you just hand the title over to your new purchaser and they sign as the buyer. you never existed. but the cash...

    Hmm. Well I would like to say it is perfectly acceptable to openly express your situation and feelings here if it helps you move forward, as you can see. we are all here to help each other succeed. So it seems that you are dwelling on your life more than envisioning what success you want. I...

    Well I don't wish to rush to judgement, but perhaps the mentality of thinking you can't do it is whats keeping you in the financial trough. but really.. people on craigslist offload the car they think is junk on craigslist for $500 and advertise it very poorly. Buy it from the guy that just...

    What do you currently do for work?

    Hey BigEasy25. I just wanted to suggest, Take your experience in the trucking industry, and go to Texas Shale Oil country. Theres plenty of work to go around and would be a great place to start a rig transport/drilling supplies company. Hell, even a roadside service company would keep you busy...

    My idea is patented... Now what?

    IDEA 
    Well its extremely common that companies in china imitate current american patented products and sell them in asia and europe. The law of US patents ends at US borders. I would assume you would need to research foreign legal systems, theres always weird barriers in other countries. To be really...

    My idea is patented... Now what?

    IDEA 
    Just like jlwilliams said, Improve the products and make the new patent. That is legal. WORST CASE, if the original patenter is nothing but difficult, Manufacture the product in another country and sell to foreign markets.

    @RazorCut I like your enthusiasm to jump into this industry! But, many times, we have a great innovation that we think people will bow to us for. What I mean is, Companies are not looking for outside innovators to just give them an idea for packaging. First off, Don't go it alone. You NEED to...
