I honestly feel that this is something that I wash
this with what the business
world does.I would think that if this was designed,
completed and one was built
that functions both prefectly physically and
aesthetically is a winner...what to do
then would be to put it up for sale with an advanced
date of delivery.
I would think for it to work I'd go with something
along those lines.
You could market online with Harmony Central, Sonic
State...and be as
creative as you want...Simple goal really - "orders "
(and lots of em )
Then say with 1000 orders in place ...Alesis or more
of a "new thought" company
could be very interested in a co-op or a "buy out".
The later
I find that most appealing.You build "one"...and
proceed to get paid for
"every one" thereafter! ( Note...I'd be in Monte Carlo
on my cell phone conducting
business at that point...)
So...I think having the skill and the resourcefulness
to build "one"
may in fact roll the tide back here...and allow itself
to have many more built.
So outside of looking to get on a Reality TV series
myself...
I've had quite enough with this "actually having to
work for a living stuff"
So somebody build it one fast so I can lay on a beach
and get paid! (Smiles!)
