How to sell a board game to hasbro or other publishers ?

I created a board game, and now I want to sell It to a publisher. Now I want to know how do I contact them, what to send them…

You won’t even get in the door at a big publisher like Hasbro or Mattel.

Find out which independant publishers make games similar to yours, and approach them.

You only need a homemade prototype. Use bits from other games, copy images from the web. The only thing that matters at this stage is the game play.

Don’t spend money on professional artwork, because if the game gets accepted, the publisher will probably re-theme the game anyway.

Make sure you playtest the hell out of your game. This means having complete strangers play the game without input from you. Just give ‘em the rules to read, then see what happens. Friends & family are NOT going to give you objective feedback.

You do NOT need a patent.

Do NOT pay one dime to anybody who says they’ll help get your game published. It’s a scam.

Play a LOT of other games. Go to boardgamegeek.com and see what modern games are like.

Do NOT mortage your house to produce 10 000 copies of the game. You will lose that money.

If your game consists of rolling dice and moving around a track, then save yourself the trouble, and stop now.

The average game only sells 2000-5000 units. If you can make that business plan work, go for it. You won’t get rich doing this.

How do you win a stuffed animal on the crane game every time?

Hey, im taking my niece to her figure skating practice, and at the rink there is a stuffed animal crane game. She has tried one before at a restaurant and she just couldn’t get it the first time. Her mom will only let her play it once. So how do you win the very first time you play? PLease answer,thanks!

you have to pick an easy to reach loose toy that looks like it can be easily grabbed and hung on to by the claw. It’s luck mostly.

How to sell "collectibles" other than e bay or Craig’s list?

My mom has tons of collectibles that, it seems, everyone else also has. When I check the things on e bay, I always see no bids. Which tells me that people don’t want to pay the price that they are worth. Any have any other experience that is successful? Thanks.

eBay has a lot more traffic than Criag’s list. You may not be seeing any bids because many items on eBay offer the "buy it now" option which means the item is sold on the first bid so you won’t see anything with bids showing.

Items are only "worth" however much you can find someone willing to pay for them. It could also be that those currently selling the items have priced them more than they’re worth.

Try watching the items posted for sale (adding to your watch list) to see if any sell via buy it now, and if so for how much. This may take a few weeks. If none of the items sell within a month then you know they are priced more than anyone is willing to pay for them.

How much would 290 action figures go for on ebay?

I have 290 action figures that have been accumulated over the years. How much will they go for on ebay?
The 290 obviously does not mean pounds
60% are dragonball z action figures and the other 30% are marvel action figures, then the rest are just from other shows like ff7,naruto etc

Do a product search for the current listings. They will usually have a photo and of course a description and if they match your product you will fairly have an idea of how much to list your item for sale. :)

What would go good with stuffed green peppers?

I’m going to make stuffed green peppers that have beans and rice with some cheese, but I would need something to go with them, so what should i make? It cannot have any meat in it.

Thank you.

Eye, for a starters I would use the red bell peppers, I find them to have better flavor, but that is my choice.

Your going to stuff them with beans, rice, cheese, are you doing them in a sauce like a tomato sauce, or as are? That would have been one thing to tell us. If your doing them in the sauce, I wouldn’t have anything else with them, they are big meal in themselves, maybe serve them with warm dinner rolls or a crusty baguette. If you want to really do something extra, serve a soup as an extra, like a pumpkin soup, or potato and leek.

Does anyone know where i can find a charmander sewing plush pattern?

I want to make a charmander plush but i dont know how to crochet so i want to find a sewing pattern. I’ve looked everywhere but cant find one! >,< Help?

I was also unable to find a sewing pattern. So I am giving you crochet lessons. Right now all you have to learn is the single stitch and the abbreviation is "sc". There is a portion in the beginning of the attern telling you what the materials needed. When they start to make the pattern they mention a magic circle. Since your just learning, instead make a chain of 4 stitches and make it into a circle or make 3 sc and put the 8 sc in the first sc you made. Any time you can’t figure out something there is someone on line to help you or just send me an email.

What side dishes go with crab stuffed salmon and flourentine stuffed salmon pinwheels?

I bought these stuffed salmon filets for dinner. I was thinking that some nice light sides would go well, like a nice house salad and veggies, but then I was also thinking italian pasta or mashed potatoes. What do you think? Any other suggestions?

I think the lighter sides would go well. You could do a salad, veggies, and a flavored rice.

Where can I find a fisher price flutterbye swing?

We have a fisher price flutterbuy swing for my 13 week old son and he loves it. Sadly, it won’t swing… He’s only 14lbs so we think it’s the motor considering the swing is rarher old and has been discontinued. It breaks my heart because he loves it and I don’t think another swing would be able to replace it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated thanks! I have already checked ebay, amazon and all over the internet.

Unfortunately, the item has been discontinued as you already know. The only place to find this swing is on E-bay unless you are lucky enough to see one at a yard sale.

You currently have two options, you could replace the entire swing with one from E-bay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270787806419+&clk_rvr_id=250794161328&item=270787806419&lgeo=1&vectorid=229466

Or, you could purchase just the motor, which is probably the problem with the one that you currently have, and replace just the motor. http://cgi.ebay.com/Fisher-Price-Swing-Flutterbye-Motor-unit-w-legs-H0642-/220682546763?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3361b46e4b
