If an envelope appeared on your door step one day filled with instructions to build something, with claims that you are uniquely qualified to make it and you'll be paid upon completion, would you do it?

depends on the cost and risk profile

Are you propositioning me frog man?

>> No.2587942

No, I've already got too many uncompleted projects and a job.

Depends how fancy the letterhead and envelope were, but probably this >>2587942

>> No.2587950

>>2587886
If it's something easy and cheap, I might... but then why claim that I'm "uniquely qualified"? If it takes a lot of work and/or expensive materials, then why would I accept a promise of payment from some anonymous individual without some form of advance?

How illegal is this item they want you to build?

>> No.2587974

This happened to me once. Plans were incomprehensible but not absolute schizo babble so I was intrigued. I built it, turned it on, and the box hummed for a few minutes and then stopped doing whatever it was doing. Anonymous author compensated me handsomely but now everyone talks about some communist politician named Mandela.

Exactly. I've already got 23 hair-brained and half-baked ideas being conceived, and 5 of them are in the process of being worked on and subsequently abandoned. Get in line
