I guess it sometimes helps to NOT spellcheck.

I have a very interesting product that, in my opinion, with proper development, has considerable marketing potential. Can easily be developed into a line of products, and I actually have an original and highly brandable name for this/these products.
I am a 40 yr old trim carpenter that got this idea when I was 18, from a comment my brother made about something we got in our hair, and my own observations. It is an existing product that is not related to hair care at all. The product name is ironically suited and has never been used in any way that I can find. This really is a very good idea that can be developed on a shoestring budget, personally I call it a “pet rock” idea. I don’t have the money/time/marketing education/computer savvy, to bring it to it’s full potential. So that’s why I am here, and I am going to post this same basic message in as many places as I can think of in an attempt to pique someones curiosity enough to seriously look into this. I am extremely cautious of this idea because I think that someone could easily take it and run with it, and my options for recourse would be extremely limited. This isn’t bulls#*t, and I’m not asking for money to develop it or any crap like that. I’m looking for someone that can help me, or I can help, develop it and bring it to market. I actually have a sample of the initial product, packaging and all. And I put it on a site on the net once and was floored when I sold two with very little effort. In total I had less than $.85 (cents) in each one and sold them for 7.99 each. You do the math. The key is trademarking the product name, possibly a patent on the new use of the product, professional marketing, and expanding the product line. From there I could easily see, if not the product, the product name, being bought by a larger company because of it’s marketing potential. My name is David Mills and my email is davidwaynemills@gmail.com. If you’re interested please get in touch with me. Thank You.
