Need Ideas: Stupid Crap I Can Sell To Stupid People With Money...

[SteyrAUG]

So I've got a homemade backyard forge going now. Been doing things for personal amusement like knives, throwing stars and similar stuff.

Basically just using stucco clam shell molds and producing castings. Figured out it would be easy to make just about anything, especially if using aluminum from coke cans.

So I need some product ideas. What is your typical (preferably left leaning socialist) ebay idiot going to spend $10-20 on?

I've got some promotion ideas figured out. Hand crafted by native American artisans (technically true) and will benefit some kind of Freedom Foundation (technically also true, profits will go directly to my ammo supply).

Thinking of themes like "Nationwide Pride", "All Lives Matter" and the like. I figure if China can sell cast aluminum crap, so can I. I also have basic "testor model paint" skills if needed. Just need actual product ideas.

Che Guevera targets. You've got your first order - PLEASE! One can only imagine where you can go from this! Best of luck!

ETA - the lefties would not even know they were targets if you added a subtle 10 ring...

[SteyrAUG]

Would be hard to make "cast metal" targets.

Also nobody is going to buy paper products, they just do image searches and print them out at home.

Damn it. They would have been on every college kid's dorm room wall. Oh well.

Communist "Star" then finished with your Testor's "Commie Red" paint? Maybe some sort of witty progressive slogan? So many flavors.

If you are lucky, the Dem party and MoveOn will put you on their store sites.

How about a little bust of Obama on a little wooden base. 2008 - 2016 and paint it like a rainbow. ... btw,,, if you make it to home shopping network with this you owe me a box of ammo.

Rainbowbama, destined to replace the dashboard Jesus.

Lol,
It seems the "more stupid" the idea, the wider the appeal it has.

Most of my thoughts don't fit into that category, so I can't really help.

Come to think of it, the "selfie stick" is the most ridiculous, narcissistic thing I've seen lately, so something along those lines should work.

Might work, just not sure if I will get enough detail for a bust that would actually look good enough to sell. Some of the ones being offered on sale right now look like crap.

[uffdaphil]

Do something with that stupid COEXIST symbol. Make the small star on the Islamic crescent six pointed just for chuckles.

Who the hell said it would need to be detailed. Go full on cartoon with it, big ears, big lips, and a big nose. Bonus if the ears are big enough that you can glide the mofo. Put hope and change on the front, and despair in tiny letters on the bottom, or something like that. Make it a total satirical product.

Something that actually LOOKS like Obama would sell. Something making fun of Obama probably wouldn't sell. People like us might laugh at it, but nobody is going to "BUY IT NOW" for $25.00

You could always make a casting for an Obama Lawn Jockey, instead of a lantern you can have him holding a bag with a $ and "YOUR MONEY" printed on it.
I think it would sell almost anywhere in Texas, well, maybe not some parts of Austin.

Maglight ar mounts to sell at gunshows. 100%USA made from Budweiser cans.

You would be a rich man at the gun shows down here.

Shipping would be cost prohibitive.

I thought about something like that, but I could never make money competing against $8 "Made in China" TAPCO crap, and I want to do simple castings, not get involved in drilling and tapping for screws, etc. More importantly, the gun crowd is a tad "frugal" when it comes to spending money.

Just say it is banned, going to be banned, or zombie and they'll pay through the nose and out their right testicle. At least that is the way it seems. No one wants 855 until someone says the ATF are banning it, and even after that shit I still have people try to sell me 20 loose rounds for $30.

Obama Bust Belt Buckles.

Hillary Belt Buckles.

Rainbow belt buckles.

The millennials will buy anything that is in the shape of an old school NES controller.

Anything remotely flaky will sell.

Folk art "Love Arrow" arrowhead necklace pendants for the gay newlyweds.

I've got a 3-D printer. I can print in PLA which you can then burn out and use as a mold for parts.

I can only print to 9 inches, so lifesized bronze dildos are out...

Holy...I've got this!

Silver Kennedy-Sized Coins with Obama on one side, and a rainbow on the other.

"In Equality We Trust"

You're welcome.

Make shiny aluminum ingots that say "Jenuwine SILVER" on them and let the gold bugs buy them up. Tell them it's the best way to "hedge their bets" against an inevitable Clinton regime.

They will buy them in bulk... for 9000% their actual value.

Good idea, but too much detail for a stucco casting.

[SeriousStudent]

How about a cast aluminum drink coaster? Put some silly-assed pot leaf logo on the front, and on the bottom stamp it "Barry Sotero Mfg Corp."

You'll make millions.

I like the irony. A drink coaster made out of drink cans. PRICELESS!

YOu have to use the words

Sustainability
Eco-friendly
Green
Recycle
crowd sourced
merkin
GMO free
Heavy metal free
steroid free

But, sustainability is the key one.

I was in all seriousness going to suggest a phallic adult toy with a Damascus oops I mean rainbow finish.

Gold bugs might seem like silly asses, but most I know, can read a scale.. Besides that, I don't think Steyr is wanting to get noticed by the feds..

[1_click_off]

Make a small ingot and sell them as emergency knives, just add rocks to pound them into shape.

[SeriousStudent]

If you make them, I'll buy one. I have a former coworker that I'd love to send one to as an annoying "gift".

Already banned on ebay. No flags, belt buckles, nothing. A few books about the war with one on the cover, that's about it.

Well they say everyone is just one good idea away from being a millionaire.

[MorphCross]

Guy Fawkes mask on a cast aluminum "challenge" coin. It would hit it big with the anons all over the net. As a subtle bit of irony collect the addresses of every one you ship to.

[SilverBullet432]

Someone's been watching YT. Id like to get around to making the can melter one day too.

[PD Sgt.]

Perhaps some kind of combination craft beer bottle opener/beard trimmer, with an optional peace sign emblazoned on it. You would corner the hipster market with some carry over to regular folk.
