My aquaintance, mechanical ingineer, has told me that the possibility of self patenting does exist but I do not know steps. He told me that it is enough to make serch for invention idea purity and to registrate it with site USPTO.Gov, or PatentStorm.com, or OnlinePatent.com. I did not try to do so yet. I wait if anibody who has experience to self patent idea will add to my almost answer.

Yes, you can sell your idea without a patent. A patent is a right granted by the government to exclude others from making, using, selling, offering for sale or importing your invention. You do not need to have a patent in order to sell your idea. The purchaser may desire to file a patent. You may also decide to protect your idea using trade secret laws (like the recipe for Coca Cola). Please be sure to use a non-disclosure agreement when discussing your idea with a potential purchaser. You do not want them hearing your idea and then exploiting it on their own.
