Tim reads a ShipStation ad about e-commerce shipping, then riffs extensively on schemes to sell rich people worthless crafted junk like bottled seashells or fake antique heirlooms.
- Tim pitches scamming rich people by selling them crafts and trinkets through e-commerce.
- Example: put sand in a bottle, call it Nantucket, and rich people will buy it.
- Tim suggests collecting crushed seashells from the beach and selling them in bottles to wealthy people.
- Rich people just want knickknacks for their dressers; the product doesn't need to be amazing.
- Tim encourages listeners to try selling anything—old books, crafts, cookware—with ShipStation's free trial.
- Open a fake antique store and lie about inheriting items from a big old house.
- Pitch inherited forks from a non-racist woman's house as a way to make items sound special and valuable.
- Tim considers actually setting up a gag storefront to test what absurd things people will buy.
