Make sure any patent assignment has a pull-back mechanism in case the initial buyer goes broke and some other entity buys the patent from the bankruptcy trustee with zero to you, and often the royalties are stripped - not sure how they did it, but patent lawyers have ways to structure a deal so if you have a valid idea and it looks like a good potential earner, he should be able to compose a good enduring deal.

I have good connections with many lawyers I don't think I'll have a problem with that What I don't have an idea about is where to sell it? Where to offer it? Who wants it? etc
Wouldn't people need to know what the idea is to give you advice about where you could sell it? Perhaps your lawyers know a good lead.
Also, "it" needs to exist before you can sell it...
