    I spoke with Dale from For Sale by Inventor, and he was very helpful. Overall it went pretty good. I wish I had the money to go ahead and get it started because if I did, it’d be a great service to deal with.

    The packet For Sale by Inventor gave was great. They even came back on top of that to give a discount. The rep was wonderful. She stuck with me through the five sessions and I appreciate her service with her attitude and spirit. She had great customer service. Right now, we're still in a standoff phase because I'm trying to see which way I will go. But, I'll be getting in touch with her today and let her know what I am going to be able to do.

    Our For Sale by Inventor rep was excellent. He gave me all the information I needed, went over and over because I didn’t quite understand, and continued to explain each of the steps where I could get to the point where the product could be marketed. He was very patient, detailed, and specific. I really appreciated all that he did and all the time he took with me.

    For Sale by Inventor is really helping me out but the only issue is getting that $800 to do that. Their rep is giving me this week to come up with $598 just to do the title search. I'm having a hard time doing that because I have to pay my bills even if I work every day and the people that promised they would help me out backed out on me. I don't want to let it go and let somebody else get a patent on it and all of a sudden blow up off of my idea. But as far as For Sale by Investor is helping, they've been wonderful.

    They stayed in contact with me and the rep's boss has even called me and talked to me which I appreciate. That's something missing with a lot of businesses today - real customer service. Once they find out if it's feasible to do, then they call me back and tell me that this is something that could be done and this is what I need to do, that makes me feel really good. What I want to just do is see if I can put that money together and let this thing come to life.

    For Sale by Inventor has very reasonable prices and I'd be interested to see how they can afford to give those in certain areas.

    I was trying to deal with inventing a project that's very helpful and worthful for people to have and to wear during medical help or need. The representative from For Sale by Inventor guided me along and he told me he'll help me get the project out which is setting the plans out with the idea of the patent getting in through and getting branded. He gives me a follow up often and he tells me about how he's getting for level, prototypes and stuff like that. At the moment, it seems to be going smoothly with me trying to get the project out and I like how everything is set up. If I went over everything they've done and looking at how they followed up on the phone calls, I will recommend them.

    It's just that my project hasn't gone out yet and I see that I need more help than what they're giving. Once I've started my payment, which I already have, I would like to see the project to be in a status that's worth the payment I gave. If not then it would be nice of them if the unused money could be taken out then I'd pay it back when there's progress to where we're anchored. I also wanted to ask them "Is it bad when the project comes out and if it do reaps success, being on your good reports, does it comes out to be like you need a lawyer or someone or counsel say that?" It's like For Sale by Inventor get paid for something someone else should be getting paid. I don't understand that.

    The reps from For Sale by Inventor were dishonest and they’re not upfront. I had asked them before I revealed my invention, "What, if any, out-of-pocket expenses do I have?” They told me there are no out-of-pocket expenses. Everything was great and they helped me but I did not get phone calls every single day which made me go over there. I had filled out some paperwork, submitted my information through them and I rendered the idea to them.

    They didn’t come and tell me about how it’s so hard for them to do the work and how they make their money. But they told me they get paid to submit my information and once a deal is struck or a product is invented, that's how they make their capital. Then they proposed to me that in order for this to get off the ground, I gotta come up or find investors of $600 and if I have it now, I can pay them 20%. I would never use them again. And if I know anybody who’s an entrepreneur who's trying to get something off the ground, I definitely would go out of my way to make sure they don't use these people that I have used.

    David,

    It appears that this is an honest mistake and that you have confused For Sale By Inventor with another company when providing this public review. We will reach out to you directly so we can understand your review and clear any misconceptions you have about our business.

    Listed below are aspects of your review which are not consistent with our interactions with you nor our business methods:
    - Upfront expenses: We have them listed on our website and gladly provide them to inventors.
    - Which made me go over there: We only show limited phone records with you and no in-person meetings.

    - Make our capital after a deal is struck: We never take a percentage from inventors and our services are provided at discounted fees to help individual inventors.

    We will be in touch with you soon and look forward to clearing up these misconceptions.

    Best regards,

    For Sale By Inventor

    Mike, the rep from For Sale by Inventor, is knowledgeable and friendly. He's easy to contact and I have both his numbers. When I need to talk to him, he's always there when I call or leave a message for him. I gave him my number and he called me night and day. He would always ask how I'm doing in my project and made sure there is nothing wrong. I don't have to call him all the time. I like him because he does his job. Some people don't do their job enough and just talk to me just to be talking to me. But Mike tries to see what I'm going through with the project. I'm very satisfied with him. I'm grateful because he understands what I'm going through and what I'm trying to accomplish. I highly recommend him.

    My company is in the middle of getting off the ground and once we've done that, we are planning on hiring For Sale by Inventor to do patentability research on our behalf. I had a very good experience with their reps. I had just a difference of opinion with one gentleman. Other than that, they were very professional in handling my files. The other gentleman smoothed things over to ensure there were no poor opinions left. They were fantastic with great customer service. Every time I leave them a message they’d call me back within minutes and leave me a message too if I couldn’t answer. They were very good at communication. It’s been an extraordinary experience so far.

    I looked at several companies that provide similar work, and For Sale by Inventor had the best approach to meet my needs. I've had contact with one person by the name of Heather and she has been an excellent representative of the company. It's been a pleasure working with her. The company has been extremely cooperative and helpful in getting our marketing material ready to be distributed. They're extremely professional and I feel that they're quite reputable. One is always leery looking at companies that promote their business on a website and are also looking for fees for their service.

    For Sale by Inventor have been good with getting the invention in order and the engineering. The only complaint that I have against them is that when they sent my invention for submissions to other companies, they sent them off to people that don't even manufacture blenders like Chef Essentials Knife, which sell knives. There's even a couple of companies on there that do the exact same thing as what they do - help inventors get on their own. However, they've been more than helpful, always calling me back or very optimistic about everything. The highlight of my invention so far has been when I was first in the development stage. There was a guy that was helping me with the invention who was always contacting me about finalizing certain things and getting it to the right people. Overall, I had a great experience with For Sale by Inventor.

    Original Review: Jan. 11, 2016

    I went through the ConsumerAffairs website and there was no bad ratings about For Sale by Inventor that’s why I got involved with them. I did see a couple of things that people had problems with them but they gave their money back to them. But you can’t expect everybody to be 100% satisfied ever because there’s always somebody who’s going to complain no matter what.

    The representatives at For Sale by Inventor explained everything to me. What were the fees and step-by-step instructions on how everything is going to work out. And, that’s pretty good. I set up a meeting with the president of the company, spoke to him and he welcomed me to them. Whenever I call, their customer service always definitely answer the phone and the calls are friendly so I can’t complain about those.

    So my overall experience with the For Sale by Inventor service so far is good but not excellent. Because I have an invention and I already signed the contract with them in September to send the information per company so I can get my invention built and the prototype. But I see a problem because For Sale by Inventor sends emails to these companies and those companies probably don’t even look or people look at it really quick and just throw it as junk mail and that’s the end of that. One has to physically call people and talk to people for things to work. I’m getting a little worried that nothing’s going on because we’re already in January and I haven’t received anything. And my invention is something that’s extremely simple as I’m building an LCD TV. I know it shouldn’t be a problem because it’s made out of plastic and one simple LED light. And it’s not something that’s never been invented.

    I just started looking into For Sale by Inventor and saw that I have to set up a Gmail and Ebay accounts. I received some calls from an 855 number, but I didn't answer them, and no one left messages. I'm assuming it's from one of their counselors. The tool is free, but it's not because I have to put money down before I even utilize the tool. I noticed they get you interested on everything free, get you farther into the tool, then you go to another page for payment. I ended up putting some money onto my card.

    There's some kind of a system they have behind it where there is a residual income that will come through and helps you pass but I don't know yet. Then they keep saying in one ad not to tell anyone. It makes me think, "Well, would they not wanna tell anyone if they make money off the deal." Every stuff that they tell you is that "We're doing this for you because we're also making off of this." Maybe I shouldn't have put the money down because I haven't had an opportunity to even use it to see how it works.

    I was strung along by the first contact person who assured me that they would not be interested if my idea was not marketable but when I asked for proof of the company's previous successes he said he was away from his computer and could not provide them. He directed me to the company website which has several products shown. Only after I paid almost $1000 did I receive the information I requested that showed that only 25 of the company's clients have recorded a profit from using their services. This company's operational procedure mirrors the fraudulent companies procedures that the USPTO website warns inventors about. I fell for their smooth talking and flashy website but got out once they wanted many more thousands of dollars to continue. Don't fall for their pitch. There are more reputable companies out there who charge only a fraction of what these guys charge and deliver more accurate information.

    I had a visually good idea and I was scouting online trying to find a company that seemed credible and that I would want to do partnership with in trying to get this invention out, and see what the proper steps I need because I have no idea on what's needed to be done or how long it would take. I wanted to know that I was in good hands and I was dealing business with a company that wanted the best for me. So I did some research and I came across For Sale by Inventor. I gave them a shot because they had the option of an invention kit. "You fill it out, submit it to us and if we like it and think there's something that could work out, then we'll contact you" which was my case.

    I sent them the idea, they liked it and they contacted me. "Let's now go to the next process which is to do a research to see if it's out there." So they did a patent research which was a two-month long process. They came back and told me that my idea has not been patented yet. There are four patents that one can qualify for so once they do the research and tell which category it qualifies under, then there's more legal documentation and paperwork, and how much it's going to cost and how long that process may take. So far, it took longer than a year.

    If they feel one's invention is strong, they'll definitely work with them. They have engineers that can give their input on how to go about doing things. It's all just supposed to be a prototype of one's invention. They'll send the marketing for us to approve before they submit it out to the companies. That way, everybody's on the same page as to what it's supposed to do, how it's supposed to work and what the purpose behind it is. When it comes finalizing to commercialize it, they know how to word it so that way the person who's reading it will have a comprehension of what the idea is. So it's definitely on a partnership teamwork, not being left out in the field. They won't have to second-guess like, "So what is this supposed to do?" I was happy I was able to have the funds so far for certain loans to take out to do this procedure. At the end of the day, it came down for money.
