the lean startup method

[bmarone]

For anyone who's familiar with Eric Ries and his book The Lean Startup, he mentions something about, to paraphrase Eric, testing the waters before you even create a product. Sometimes you can actually create a minimum viable product and sell it to customers or you can see how customers respond even when you don't yet have any product. How might this be done? My main concern would be possibly violating certain ethical standards if a customer wished to buy a product I did not yet have. Any thoughts? Thanks.
