Archer Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Has anybody developed and sold anything they use in their display, I have developed a star burst or pinwheel that I have in my display and was wondering how anybody out there has done selling their own creations. If you want to see what I am talking about take a look at kevinkolak.com and you can see 12 of them in various configurations (8 channel 1 color, 16 channel 2 colors and of course 1 color 1 channel). My mega trees are also different than what the rest of the world call mega trees. I am considering taking orders and selling my ideas and would like to know how others have made out trying to sell their creations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archer Posted September 23, 2014 Author Share Posted September 23, 2014 Is everyone being bashful or am I the only one with these aspirations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 There are members here who have turned their decor ideas into display elements that they then sell. From what I can tell, they seem to be doing okay at it. I would suspect some better than others, but I have nothing to back that up. Just speculation.

Archer Posted September 23, 2014 Author Share Posted September 23, 2014 Thanks for your reply....I am leaning toward giving it a try. As I am fast approaching retirement age I will probably start out listing a few varieties on an EBay type store, hopefully take some orders and see how it goes.

rainyoregonchristmas Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 It's not easy, or cheap. I invented a clip to fit bullet shaped 12 mm pixels like the cosmic color pixels. My avatar is one of the prototype clips the final design is actually black. I am selling them through a vendor. They are quite new so I can't say really how it's going other then I think it's good. I'm also designing and building many different elements that use the clip. That part is not easy. Cost for the average lighter is very important. Some things, although they may be great designs, are too expensive for the average lighter. Keep that in mind. Other then that trying is the only way you will find out. Just be willing to eat the cost of your element if something goes wrong or is not well received. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archer Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 I know all about inventing things and yes they are not cheap. I hold a US patent on my invention and the patent was the cheap part. Its all the prototypes that drive you to the poorhouse. I'm not going that road this time.....just building and selling stuff that appear in my display. Hopefully I'll have stuff for sale in an online store, maybe an EBay type store, take orders, build it, send it out. kevinkolak.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
