Or, more feasibly and less faulty-machinery-maims -child-lawsuit attractingly, we could make cake, cookie and pie models of ideas, all served with a dollop of custard of course (or jam, normal jam though, and no bees). |

|
This event would be attended by businessmen who have signed waivers. So the whole "child lawsuit attracting" thing is bunk. |

If you want to really make money from a half-bake sale, try this. Display cupcakes, but each cupcake is secretly cut in two halves (having been cut with an extremely fine knife or laser beam). |
|
|
When a customer points to one and says "I'll have that one", you take their money and give them the half they pointed to. Since the customer never specified a whole cupcake they have no recourse. |

Hmmm, [rcarty] has a point. Dragon's Den is one of my favourite shows, and they would pay quite a bit for some of this. The copyrights alone, if they existed, would be worth a fortune. Of course, if this idea includes demonstrations, we will have a hard time getting the waivers signed. |

Just do what everyone else does; put the waiver on the back of the ticket. "By purchasing this [basketball game] ticket, you agree not to sue us if a hockey puck flies at you and you are injured" -- on the back of my Trailblazer's ticket. |

It depends. Probably a lot, considering that the ideas here vary from "useless" to "my gosh, how did we live without this?" I conservatively estimate somewhere in the hundred thousands of most forms of currency. Which, considering that we put all these valuable ideas in the public domain for free, is a bit more than usual. |
