Post subject: Sell Only things that people really, really want to Buy!
|
 |

Hi all,
Wanna sell products on the internet 
Your Products don't have to be E-goods. Cheap Hardgoods Sell!
And do you really need a lot of content Ok low PR But...
If you want to be SSuccessful sell Only things that people really, really want to Buy. 
I Sell Garbage http://www.nycgarbage.com/
One man's trash, another man's treasure? But what do you call the trash of several people carefully arranged in a plastic cube? Art? Justin Gignac, an executive for an advertising firm decided to scour the streets for litter, package it, and sell it http://www.nycgarbage.com/order.html#. Cigarette butts, lottery tickets, and beer bottles are just a few of the wonderful pieces http://www.nycgarbage.com/gallery.html encased in the cubes. New York garbage can now be found in 35 states and 17 countries as garbage collections are added to art collections around the world. http://www.nycgarbage.com/map.html
And Yes, his site got listed in Yahoo's directory Arts. 
Thoughts Comments
All the best

A marketing genius! ... on his site he claims that due to overwhelming demand he can't fill anymore $10.00 orders (New York ran out of garbage?) BUT ... if you just can't wait he'll sell you a $50.00 cube. I love it!
I think I'll wait for the $100.00 garbage cube .... imagine the quailty of trash included!
This gives me the courage to go ahead and pursue my idea of selling laminated Dog doodoo from famous peoples' pooches.

Absolutely BRILLIANT!
Literally selling trash online.
There's another site that actually DOES sell poo online. It's called poopsenders.com
It's all in the marketing.

Too funny. Reminds me of the guy selling crumpled up paper as art. A wad of paper $5 Upgrade to a wad of paper in a little wooden box $10
paper art, no two are alike guaranteed

I've been wondering if this was just some OT humour - or for real!! I'm also wondering what purpose it has on this Board as it breaches the guidelines so much. Should I delete it or not???

This just shows that people will sell anything they can possibly think of if it might make a buck. Hilarious. I needed a good laugh tonight.
