If I throw out a word or name of something that a common man will not be exasperated to know i will provide a link or some way to explain it so your the rude person.
And again get off my case, I am not take this to have it proof read, we are just talking here..so you again being rude for making a fuss over my spell checker and my own spell mistakes...
You are right; it is not easy. But compared to the hurdles you have described for creating a fuel savings device (OBDII, suppressors, the government, etc), reselling existing stuff is a walk in the park. If you know automotive stuff, then resell automotive stuff. If you know Ford stuff, then resell Ford stuff. Hundreds of thousands of people do it successfully. Don't blame the scammers for making it sound like you can make lots of money without any work... any reasonably intelligent person knows that's not true. It does take work, but it would be A LOT less work than what you are talking about tackling, with A LOT fewer challenges.
Have you been selling on eBay or any market place, are you self imployed, making a living by your wits??
Every product that I can buy is already got hundreds of OTHER seller trying to sell it. This is fine when your buying, I take full advantage of this act and hunt and haggle with sells to get the best prices...on the internet 9 times out of 10 you can find a LOWER price.
And the people and companies with deep pockets can buy large amounts of things and get lower prices: Hear of Walmart?? The death of the local Mom and Pop store/shops.
Dude what you saying is so unreal I can hardly believe your saying it.
So stick with what you KNOW. You KNOW you can't fool the OBDII ECMs since they have so many controls. And you KNOW you can't sell something "honestly" that will screw up the emissions. And you KNOW that if you sell something that has the potential for screwing up the emissions, you'll have to certify that it doesn't. And THEN, after all that time and money spent, you KNOW you're going to have to restrict the profit. And the number of units you can sell, because you KNOW it's not just the profit... there must be a limit to the number of units you can sell before the suppressors come after you. Which means you CAN'T get into a deal with big company like Dutchman; your documented case with Ray and Dell proved that, right?
Wrong...
So with all these hurdles which completely stack the deck against you, why bother? There are thousands of other automotive related things that will get you much better return on your time and effort than this idea of a fuel savings device.

To make and sell something that I alone can do (or I am not got 10,000 other guys doing it) seems the best way I can go.
I can shoe string it up, Build one and put it into a car and take orders from the demo.
Build say 5 and sell them to the orders and then sell 20 and then 100...
And I can do this at my own speed and time. Out of my own home based work shop.
I once bought 100 broken PC Monitors...only to find within a year that no one what them everyone want the newer flat screen LED monitors. I had to junk over 1/2 of them.
Been there done that and NO THANKS.
