Hi guys,
I have recently came up with an idea for a cheap and affordable fidget toy targeted towards hyperactive people to keep them busy during tedious times. Now, for my product's security I won't state exactly what it is, but I will be taking an existing item (used for a completely different purpose) and make some additional modifications to be marketed as a brand new item. It is a very simplistic design and there seem to be a gap in the market for it. This item is very cheap to make, especially in large quantities and has immense mark-up potential. What do you think of this idea and do you think it can sell well?


Edit: Would you consider buying one of these yourself, from the perspective of someone who struggles with stress? How should it be marketed to separate it from the rest of the market?
