After numerous complaints the district attorney's office has filed a class action lawsuit against this company and their response was to of course declare bankruptcy so they don't have to give the money back to all the people they stole it from. Such cowards. That's why it says their business is permanently closed on their website. They've change names so many times to avoid their shady past. Don't do business with them ever. That's $8000 I would never get back. Sad.
My experience with ideabuyer was great. I really appreciate the time taken to ensure long term success for my product there's no way I could have gotten a full vision and applications needed in order to fulfill my dream. Thank you to the entire Idea Buyer Team for believing in me and thanks so much for all the hard work put forth on my project.
The Idea buyer representative was knowledgeable and explained everything totally. It's totally straightforward to induce in contact with them. If I ever have any queries, I continually offer them a decision and they are terribly careful.
Idea Buyer has transformed the look and feel of our business website. We instantly became more visual, interactive and user friendly. Most importantly we became more compatible with different digital devices and all the social mediums. Lastly, Dan was always available and helpful with my questions and concerns. His counsel was always well thought out and presented.
I started with these guys in November 2017- since then I have received Stellar service and exceptional help with my business, yes the upfront payment was steep, but nothing is free and if you think they are scammers then take your services elsewhere. I am super excited to continue working with Idea Buyer and look forward to having my products in stores soon!
I like how this company is growing everyday which is good because it brings in more exposure to our product unlike other companies who have limited resources and audience. I'm glad we found this place.
Idea Buyer provide an excellent environment for any new entrepreneur to be succeeded in their dreams.My experience with ideas buyer has been great. They have brought success to our doors.
Been with Ideabuyer for 10 months- very happy with the progress & the support.
They will do there best for you but they are not miracle workers... if your idea doesn't sell or falls flat... welcome to the world of million dollar inventions & ideas. You pay your money & take your shot!
The site was good and generated an inquiry for me from a distributor that ended up placing a purchase order of 500 units. However, the site needs to be updated. The messaging system was useful for initial contact but after that, it didn't help guide the process, which I could have used (tips on pricing/etc). All in all, I'd definitely recommend it but it would be nice to see your company make those updates to the site. Thanks
Very happy to post a positive review for Idea Buyer; I first was introduced to the company by one of my coworkers; It took just 8 days from registering on the site to get my first lead. Really impressed with teh service!

We've become more and more selective of our partners given the nearly 40 bad ones we've had over 12 years.
