I need everyones help to sell my toy I invented
I've been reading democraticunderground for 3 years. This will be my first post and unfortunately it is a selfish act. In a way its not a selfish act, if I can sell my invention on eBay. I will be able to follow my new passion and that's being a full time activist. Dedicated to fighting for TRUTH in every aspect of reality.
My toy is on eBay with a buy it now price for 1 Million. This is not to much, it's a proven product and below is the press release i sent out tonight. If everyone will pass the word around and maybe I can make this happen. I also have a YouTube.com site setup to help get it going to push the sell of my toy on eBay.

PRESS RELEASE

For Release: November 13, 2006

Guy Who Invents Toy from Aluminum Dryer Hose and Golf Ball from Cowpens, SC is Selling the Patent on eBay for ONE MILLION DOLLARS

Spartanburg, SC – November 13, 2006 –Don’t let the headline fool you. My product was featured on Good Morning America, this invention that was quoted to be the next “hula hoop” has captured the attention of all ages, as well as some major companies like Wal-Mart, QVC, and Razor Scooters. With almost a hundred thousand sold, this toy can’t be underestimated because of its simplicity, and is a one of a kind sale.

You might recall seeing this fascinating toy on Good Morning America or read about it in the Washington Post. It was first introduced in the Christmas of 2003 in Michael’s home town of Spartanburg, SC. He delivered a box of 20 to the local mom and pop toy store called Imagination Station. Later that night, the local news ran a story about the new toy. The next morning to everyone’s surprise, a long line was formed of eager shoppers, anxious for the doors to open. They sold over 200 the first day and a total of 772 in the 3 weeks preceding Christmas.

This was the beginning of a 3 year journey for the inventor Michael Hicks. It all begun with the laughter Michael sustained from jeering friends as he would bend the aluminum dryer hose into a U, drop the ball in, and begin to loop it in and out of the tube. Expressing to those around him, “This would be loved by all ages, and could be, the next hula hoop”, as his friends assuring him that he had lost his mind, no one’s going to buy a tube and a ball. Well guess what, no ones laughing now.

Michael traveled a long path to accomplish the success he’s attained with this simple but fun toy. He’s experienced many ups and downs throughout the years. His last adventure was signing a licensing agreement with Razor Scooters in September of 06’ with a 10 year agreement to receive royalties. Razor just recently returned the rights to him expressing their desires to focus their attention on the new electric scooters.

At this point Michael decided to part with his brain child Accuthrow™ to a good home that will do his product justice. It is his dream to see it on the shelves of every store in the world. He still believes it is the next hula hoop, and I can’t blame him for that. I for one, agree with him. Hicks has recently penned a “how-to” book for would-be inventors entitled, The Life I Invented: The Conception of Accuthrowt™, which will be released after the sale.

2. Looks like fun...
I'll pass it on to juggler types I know. This might be the sort of thing could be integrated into an act in some really impressive way.

3. That's neat!
(I say "neat" as a member of the Whammo/Slinky/Creepy Crawlers Generation.)

Dunno what I can do to help... except kick your thread by going, "Neat!" :D

I'd play with it. Obsessively.
