Flip and Grow Rich in this Economy?

Some may be asking themselves, can I really flip and grow rich in this economy? Well it's not an easy question to answer. While there is lots of money to be made in this current climate.

How do you market a metallic mouth that moves its lips in sync with a speakerphone? "Hands free desk lips" free up your hands and clip to your phone for a hands free conversation. Could this be just what you've been looking for, to make those boring calls more fun and exciting? Now I ask myself, is this a product that has no real market, or is there a niche market out there who have been saying to themselves, I wish my phone had lips? Maybe you should pre-order now?
