The representatives from For Sale by Inventor were very helpful. They sent me a form to fill out and helped me through the process to sell the idea to someone that would go ahead with it. They were very oriented in what they do. They were also nice to talk and work with. My wife and I have sold our place and we’re moving, so I hadn’t had a lot of time to pursue what I had talked to them about. Right on the front end, I told them I don’t want to sink a lot of money into something because this day and time you never know if people are on the up and up and just bleed you dry for money. But For Sale by Inventor is not that way. They’re number 1 in my book.

I was looking up patenting processes and I found For Sale by Inventor on the internet. They're good people. I talked to them on the phone a few times and it has been smooth and very good. There was one rep whom I interacted with and he was respectful. I learned a lot about what I'm trying to do. It's a lot of charge, but it's less than if I was to do it myself.

The reps at For Sale by Inventor have all been cordial and are not pushy. They offer enough information. However, I'm still a little foggy on exactly what happens if you pay for this program and if it covers the patent cost completely. Otherwise, everything's been fine and it's been a good experience.

I searched through Google, went through a couple of different companies, looked at the reviews and then decided to go with For Sale by Inventor. I talked to them and there were some questions that were answered vaguely. I wanted more explanation on the future and what happens in the process. I was under the impression that the patent would be done very quickly like within two weeks but it was the research that took two weeks. I was told after everything that it would take 90 days or more. There was a little confusion in regards to that. I had expected that from the beginning, but when they told me that it would be quicker, I thought that that’s great. I had those kinds of expectations but it wasn’t a huge deal. Also, it has been good, so far. I have just given my final sketches and explanations a couple of days ago and I'm waiting for a feedback.

I worked with Garvin, a representative of For Sale by Inventor and he was helpful and informative. He had a lot of encouragement for the invention that I had. We tried to get it off the ground but I had some legal problems with my wife, so that that put a hold on it. But he’s been checking in to see how things are going and keeping contact. He gave me his office number, email address and cell number. He told me that I can contact him any time I had any questions so, I have access to every means to connect him. I told him once I can find out what’s going on, then we can get this thing off the ground.
Everything flowed easily and I was able to get my drawing and my description of my product within a half an hour. I got everything in to Garvin and he gave me the, “Okay,” and run me through step-by-step on how I’m supposed to get it to him. So, everything worked out great. I worked with another guy, Mark – and we had problems getting in contact with each other. I’d call his number and leave a message and he’d call me and we just quit contact for about two months. But as far as somebody getting in contact with me, there were several people who tried but I’m usually hard to reach. Cost-wise, it’s reasonable. I was surprised because I was told that some of the patent fees were in the area of about $25,000. The services are great and the people were easy to work. Even if I couldn’t do it, they were able to do it for me.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Greg!

I was just telling my sister how impressed I was with how the company follows through on complaints. That actually, even without the offer, made a positive impression on me. I understand customer care as I spent the majority of my career training company employees in all departments the art of taking care of the customer and how to turn an unhappy customer into a happier customer. This company, even with the errors that happened has come through with their follow ups.
So I do not feel they are out to take your money, as previously stated. I do feel they are the real deal and have gone above and beyond to make me happy. That speaks highly in my book. As I previously mentioned I do have a strong background in this area and sometimes things happen like with Garvin, and the customer can understand and even forgive when certain problems arise, and what is most important is how they handle problems. The way this company handled my problem sets them apart from most companies. Garvin was very nice to deal with and he just made a mistake, and he is forgiven. Thanks for taking my concerns to heart.
Original Review: May 26, 2017
My first review was regarding a person I dealt with at this company who has some major anger issues. He would make a point to scold me if I asked a question he did not like, a very bad experience. Then I left another review after receiving a call from another agent who stated he wanted my business... and gave a little apology for my first experience. I gave the benefit of the doubt and was impressed when Gavin called and apologized. During our conversation I still could not find out what this company actually does, or how much monies are involved. I did say to Gavin that I do not have tons of money, and it was interesting his response was his reference to my email which indicates DR. I do have a Doctorate, and he assumed that meant a lot of money, as he pretty much stated so.
His interest in me seem to wane at this point. He became vague, and when corresponding with him in an email, he would simply write back and say "Talk to me when you have your patent pending status." LOL. This was so weird as it seems to be a big secret about what they can do to help me or how much they want to charge. Then about a week later his email was no longer working, and when I left messages he never called back. I expected as much as I think this company is looking to take as much from the inventor as they can.
This is one of those where they say "Customer beware", all is good and the writing was on the wall with this company from the very beginning, but I did give it a second try and never again. I am now working with a wonderful company and things are going great. They were very upfront about fees and I did not mind sending a lot of money for a company that cares about what I am doing and is working hard to get me where I want to be. But if I were you I would think twice about this company.
Hi Karen,
Thank you so much for your feedback! I have responded to you privately.

I was dealing with another company. I did a Better Business Bureau check on them and they were kinda shady. I opted to not go with them. But For Sale by Inventor has been real good, so far. Their rep, Donnie, was very supportive and willing to guide me. He has been very good as far as advising, encouraging, and keeping me informed of what needs to be done and how I need to do it. He's brought some very good points and I'm very happy with him. I hope it goes through.
I want people that have a CPAP machine to be able to have the benefits of this because I did a prototype and I love it. A majority of it is gonna go to the church. I'm hoping to look at them as the investor in this and I would give them a majority of the proceeds. I'm not looking to become a millionaire but maybe just a small retirement would be great. I'm still apprehensive about this because there's just so much stuff in this world. My pastor is so swamped all the time and I'm waiting for the rep to talk to him. But, they did a review on it and said that it's a very viable product and they're encouraging me to pursue it.
The cool thing about For Sale by Inventor is that they do everything in-house, from the review, to the patent search, to the manufacture design, to the patent attorneys. I was really happy to hear that because the other people that I was dealing with were like, "Well, we gotta do this in steps and stages. We got one person that's gonna do this, another person's gonna do that," and I didn't like it. For Sale by Inventor has been doing this for 25 years and has 8,500 manufacturer contacts. I would encourage anybody to go through them.

I was looking up how to patent an invention and found For Sale by Inventor. My experience with them has been amazing. The follow-ups have been great. The young lady who has followed-up several times has been very helpful and really answered all my questions incredibly. In today’s world, as much as any other time, customer service is the pinnacle of what businesses build on. And that is why I wouldn’t even try another avenue except for going with For Sale by Inventor.
My experience, to this point, has been excellent. However, due to financial reasons and a little overload on our schedule, I’m not prepared to move forward yet. It was a little disheartening as far as the cost. When you look at it on your own, it becomes an impossibility unless you have previous experience or you really know the ins and outs for looking for patents and things of that nature. You get up around $14,000 to have something. And it’s a lot of risk for just an independent, average, working Joe. It is a lot of money. But at the same time, if you can pull a return, if your invention’s that good, it’s worth leaping into. I’m looking forward to trying to move forward.

I was working with InventHelp. I didn’t like their guy since he was really fishy. For Sale by Inventor came up and their rep got in touch with me. He’s been in contact with me for about a year.

But when I get my funding together, I’m definitely going to work with For Sale by Inventor. I wouldn’t think about going to anybody else.

For Sale by Inventor has been helpful. The only problem we had with their rep was communication in getting back and forth. He had issues and when he could no longer take care being the representative for the company, he passed it off to another gentleman who has been on point. We've even had conversations with the owner, and I'm very, very, very impressed. Their added effort, going above and beyond and holding the hand of my son to go through the process and helping him with his patent by personally going step by step and explaining everything to where he can understand has been a breath of fresh air. It's remarkable and it's fantastic. We're really happy with it. We don't get and see this very much, especially in the corporate world.
The steps are very tricky in getting a patent. There are so many nefarious people out there that will take customers' money and tell them exactly what they expect. If customers have any questions or concerns, For Sale by Inventor is more than happy to come back and show them even over and over again to make them understand, to where they are comfortable with what their decisions are. It's eyes-wide-open-type deal, and I found it very refreshing.

I wanted For Sale by Inventor to have my idea checked. The reps were personable and they know what they’re talking about.

I've been talking to one man at For Sale by Inventor and he's been great. They're waiting on me because I was trying to find somebody to help me pay the $748 to get started, but when I get my income tax in a couple of weeks then I'm going to do it myself because I believe wholeheartedly in my idea. I hope they see what I see. It's the next best thing since sliced bread.

I have always stated to my past employees regarding providing excellent customer service that rarely will you lose a customer if treated with respect and addressing their concerns from the onset. Yes, you will sometimes get the devil customer, where nothing you do or say will satisfy them, and usually, these types of customers are trying to bully the company and get something for nothing. My feeling is you do not need those customers who bully, nor any company that bullies you. I was not this particular customer. Having said all this I have always taught associates that should they get a customer who is dissatisfied and has legitimate concerns then please apologize and fix it. But you better mean it and you best follow through. I am here to say I am very impressed that I received a call from this company not only apologizing but willing to hear my concerns. This is a big PLUS, PLUS, PLUS. This means more to me than anything else, :)well except maybe getting a good licensing deal, ;) But all kidding aside Garvin won me over, because he took the time to call, listen, and I appreciate it. I will work with this company as long as I have the funds to do so, because of how my problem was handled. This speaks highly for this company in my view. I trust them simply based on this call. I feel whether or not I will financially be able to continue my journey with them or not, I believe that they truly care about you and are not here to rip you off, or mislead you. I like that. So in closing, I want to let all you potential customers know, that in my book, they are on the up and up. Thank you again, Garvin.

I cannot say that this company is not as good as they say they are, but I can share what my initial experience was with Jim **, who was the person who contacted me to solicit his company's services. First I received numerous emails about his services. I asked a question in an email if this company was one of those promotional companies that ask for a large amount of money? I feel this is a fair question as I have been warned to stay away from those type of services.
My first conversation with Jim ** was at 7:47am the next day, where he abruptly began raising his voice and stating he could not respond in an email, and needed to respond to me on the phone. He angrily proceeded to tell me he is also dealing with another Dr. who said the same as I did, and began to say he was backed by the Federal Government....
At this point I tried to say that I did not mean any disrespect with my question, but Jim ** would not allow me to talk. He was rude, abrasive and unrelenting. He was going to give me the what for's whether I wanted him to or not. I did manage to say "I think calling me this early in the morning is not okay," he said "oh well I needed to talk to you."
I could not seem to find a common place with this man. I sent emails trying to explain that I feel bad that I am not at the design place to have his help, and the 2nd phone call arrives early in the am, before anyone should be calling a customer. He again was abrasive and refused to allow me to respond. He said he was a very busy man, and if I wanted to check his company out do so, but take my time to get together the drawings needed. Again I tried to speak, and again he would not let me. I was very angry by the time I got off the phone, so I decided I do not need a company where I cannot express or ask questions without being treated with zero respect, so I sent Mr. ** an email stating so. I expressed to him that he had no right to treat me with zero respect and that if he continued, we were not a match.
The next day after he said we could start over and he would wait for drawings, he simply sent an email stating they could not help me with my invention, blah, blah, blah. This is fine with me, but if you work with Jim ** good luck. I know the business is family owned, so I do not know really his place within that family or whatever it may be. He needs a class in how to speak to customers. The company I am sure are what they say they are. And I am not downing the company, just my initial experience with Jim **.

So far my experience with For Sale by Inventor has been great. I'm not done yet, but I appreciate the work that they've been doing for me so far with the patent search. They're very thorough, and they give a lot of information. Donnie has been very diligent and patient with explaining everything to me. Some of the things that he shared with me have been great. He knows a lot of things about the company and what else to look forward to later on. He's very honest, and he wasn't trying to get over on me and wasn't asking for a big lump sum of money and not enough information to give. In fact, that is one of the reasons I went with For Sale. Also, they are willing to work with me by me being a working man. Then having other bills to pay, I was still able to accomplish the patent search and we can move forward now without any heartache. I'm ready to continue forward with the company and see what else is there.

I wanted to patent one of my products, so I looked at different places and settled on For Sale by Inventor after also contacting a couple of other companies. For Sale by Inventor seem to be where I want to go, and who I want to go with. Also, they were well-known because of the George Foreman Grill. I talked to Mike and he's fantastic.

I'm looking forward to working with them as soon as I can come up with the money to start the process. I have a really good product. I'm disabled and on a fixed income but that's not gonna stop me. Unfortunately it will slow me down a little bit on gathering the funds I can right now. I understand I need roughly a little less than $900 to get the search process started.

I'm very pleased with For Sale by Inventor. They explain things so you understand if the invention will be patented. They're very active getting back a hold of me when I ask them to. We discussed if there's a possibility that someone may have invented something similar to mine and that we could make it a little bit better. It sounds really good that there's nothing on the market for it as of yet.
They know how to work along with another person to get the invention going and for the product to get made. They make money by helping people get their stuff on the market and get a percentage. They told me that it's a really good item and it will sell well. I asked how long it could take me to see any benefits out of it and Bobby, the person I was talking to, said it could take up to a year and some people save money within three to six months. It's going to cost me quite a bit of money but it takes money to make money. I'm being optimistic because the people who are negative get nowhere.

When I Googled patent services, I saw that For Sale by Inventor's form was simplistic. I was skeptical because it didn't have a lot of stuff on it. But then sometimes, people put simplistic forms because it makes more sense so I took the chance. Then I saw with the invention of how much it would cost, and that's way less than a lot of other stuff. Then I thought about if there's anything hidden once I pay the fee, and there was none. The representative, Larry, is a great guy. I like the communication with him because he tells me things and he's realistic with it. He explains what would and wouldn't work and I listen to what he has to say. He takes into account all of those things and I really appreciate that.
I let Larry know that I'd love to do it but the issue is I gotta come up with the money. It's taking me time trying to figure out ways how to do things. I told him that I even tried employment in McDonald's but they're not hiring. They looked at me like I don't need to work there and I needed to be doing something else. So, it's been a struggle. I did other avenues to try to come up with the money and there's nothing. I said that I'm gonna keep trying.
It's been a great experience. I appreciate the realistic feeling of this company that you're not gonna make money right away off of this. The invention has to get out there and things have to circulate. And a lot of times, there's no illusion of, "You put this out there. We're gonna advertise it. This and that is gonna happen." Nobody can guarantee you anything and I really appreciate that. Some company will guarantee it then you'd find out the illusion and you spent a lot of money that's almost $20,000. You felt like you're out. But then they call you and say to try this and this is gonna happen, and pay them more money for it. So, this has been a great thing working with Larry. We still got the communication going on and on my end, it's just coming with it. I'm satisfied with them.

I found For Sale by Inventor on the web and went with them due to what people were saying about them. I also chose them because of the cost to do the research. They were able to answer my questions, too. Experience has been good, so far. I haven't had any problems that I can see or foresee. They've done the research, which I paid for, and came back saying that I was able to get two patents and a trademark. But now I have to come up with fees for the lawyers fees, the marketing, and everything else. And since it's heading onto the holidays, it's a chunk of change.
The representatives have been able to answer my questions and have followed up on any, if I leave a voicemail.

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.

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.

I’m very satisfied and I plan on using their service again. I even got my buddy to take his project and show it to them.

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. You get the feeling that you could easily run into a company that is going to take your money and run with it and do little or nothing at all. But for the fee that we paid, we've been pleased with everything we've received from For Sale by Inventor and the service has been excellent.

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.

So they've given me anything that I've asked in a timely fashion as well as get the money in and get all the paperwork done. I've also had to reach out to them for questioning on the different patents in the questionnaires and they've been there helping me all the way. My experience has been absolutely positive and wonderful. They're fabulous.
