Is it possible to sell my ideas for products/inventions?

Question

I often have ideas for products, and am wondering if there is a market for selling the idea without actually producing the product itself.

Answer 1

If you patent your ideas you can earn royalties from them if someone else comes up with the same idea.

Answer 2

Nope.

If you have a good idea and tell someone, they will just steal it and you won't get squat.

If it sucks, no luck anyway.

Unless you patent. Then you can cover your ***.
