I know many have advised against it, but I'm looking to sell ownership and the rights to sell my designs and keep the profits.  $500 per pattern.  There are 167 of them right now, but may be as much as 500+ designs later.  You can make that money per pattern right back in a month or two if you're good at selling.  If you were to buy all 167 at once, that would be $83,500 U.S. Dollars.  Many of those designs are in two scroll saw pattern catalogs (Wooden Teddy Bear and Scroller Ltd).  If you took over ownership of the designs they have in their catalogs...the royalties from those sales would go to you.  Again, I know many have advised against it, but I've made my decision so please don't respond to this post with a lecture.  I know you mean well.  I've been told I could sell them for $1000, $2000 or more and that would be fair, but I'm trying to better the odds here.

Thanks you two but it doesn't look like anyone is interested.  Catalogs, magazines and individuals have all turned me down...even at lower prices.
