Quick! We only need $3,000,000!!!!

Post by Humble Master »

Or $10 million if we want to buy it now and not risk being outbid at the last moment.
I am selling my story that I have been creating for 10+ years. (not constantly writing, but of piecing everything together in a cohesive manner) It can be compared to stories like Star Wars, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Matrix, Indiana Jones and other titles in those categories. This is a really great story I have. This story needs to be completed by a professional writer or Ghost Writer. I am by no means a writer.

I would rather not sell it at all and just find investors to help hire a celebrity Ghost Writer, which would cost 250,000. The company that hires these writers out, guarantee the book to be a New York best seller. From my understanding, a celebrity ghost writer is someone who has written many books for others that have become "best sellers" and are at a point in their writing career to produce these best sellers often.

But for me, finding an investor seems impossible, it takes money to make money.

If George Lucas offered to sell his idea of Star Wars, would you have bought it?

Just hit the "ask seller a question link" for more info.

This is a serious auction, I'm not looking to rip anyone off. If you win this auction and decide you don't like the story, then you don't have to pay, and you will be refunded fully.

I would like to meet in person so that I can pass my works on.

I will share my story with someone in person only and not over the internet. My story is too valuable to be spread publicly and will give a lot of new ideas for movies and book series that should belong to the buyer.

ebay requires a physical object to be purchased. This is a CD with my story, as well as printed material, as well as verbal information from me. This will be exchanged person to person.

This story will bring in endless fame and money to anyone who takes it. I do not have money to hire a Ghost Writer and I do not want to die with this story untold.

If you win the auction; we would meet in person, you would sign a nondisclosure document so i can be protected if you back out, I would share the story. Then you would choose to keep the story or refuse it. If you refuse it you would get a 100% refund and I would be protected so that you can't use my story after backing out.

And for the people reading this post who think I'm crazy for asking this amount of money for it; this kind of money is a drop in the bucket for large corporations. If it sounds like too much money then you are not the kind of buyer I'm looking for.

Well, this guy meets this girl, y'know, and he like really digs her, but she doesn't give him the time of day, then something happens that sends them back in time to the ancient Incan empire, only it turns out that all those myths about the aliens are true! So they have to learn magic to fight off the aliens, only theres one alien that turns out to be good, but they don't know that yet, and somehow they meet up and go after the big alien boss, but just as they beat him with their magic they end up getting taken captive and are flown to the alien forward base camp on Earth, which turns out to be Atlantis! So now the have a whole society of aliens to get through, and the good alien helps them rig up the temple to explode, destroying the whole island! But they get away, and try to make it back to their home time, but they don't know how to use the time travel part of the ship, so they end up in the Roman era and save a part of Crassius' army in their ship and take them to China! That didn't go so well, so they tried again, and ended up at Roanoke! and they helped the settlers re-locate to Panama. That worked better, so they tried again and ended in the middle of Siberia and they get in an argument with the alien and their ship EXPLODES! and then they wake up back in their time where he finally gets the curage to ask her out, and she turns him down 'cuz she is actually into girls, and he sais "thats ok im really a girl, anyway"

I really need someone to pay me for my idea so that they can write it for me good.

Hmmm, lessee; hire a ghostwriter that is so good that they're at a point in their careers that they can guarantee a best seller, but only ask 250k for it. Or find someone to pay 3 mil for the rights to do it themselves? Decisions, decisions.

No, no, the story is this:

Underdog/average boy/girl from small town/farming-village/unfortunate-life-circumstance finds out that he is actually very special and that he alone has the power/skillset/destiny to save the world from destruction/evil-takeover. Adventurous journey ensues, and he collects a couple of of misfit/endearing/helpful friends along the way.

Well, it looks like the auction ended without any bids. Who could have predicted that ending?
