Things for sale I will mail you

This little site caught my attention today, because not only is it witty, but fun too. We all knew the next frontier of business development is in providing and designing experiences, but you don't need to be a big business to do it. Perhaps you go and have the experiences and send the proof to people who paid you to go have it - the ultimate archair experience.

Below are some of my favourites, but go to David's site for the full menu:


Starsand_3

If you give me $1,626 I will go to the small Okinawan island called Taketomi and send you an envelope filled with star-sand (don't worry, I've been there before, I know where to go). I will send it from there.

For this project, anyone can make a donation until I reach the amount. So, anyone can donate to this, and I will put how much I have raised here. You can donate any amount, but, I will only send you the sand if you donate over $100. Thank You!

Littleprince_4

If you give me $250 I will read the Little Prince in front of the New York Stock Exchange on Wall Street in the middle of a work day. I will send you photograph documentation of this. (or: if you give me $1000 I will buy as many copies of the Little Prince as I can and give them away to people leaving the New York Stock Exchange after a days work)






Homeless_2 If you give me $30 I will walk around New York, and the first homeless person I see I will buy him or her whatever he or she wants to eat (as long as it is less than $30). I will mail you back the exact change (minus the paypal fee and the cost of the postage stamp) with the receipt for the food and the name of the person who ate it.
