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.

In this bit8 moments
  • 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.
