A quibble really. I could make diamond rings that are worth $1000 and sell them for a $10. Lots of people would want them.

There are a million easy ways to make $0.10 by spending $1.00

Or you could sell them for $1100 and make a profit. The original question wasn't about ways to throw away money.

I make counterfeit $100 bills and give them out. People want them. I don't profit. :-p
