So says an advertising executive in New York, and he has proved his point by selling boxes of rubbish for the price of an expensive bottle of wine.
Justin Gignac, 26, has sold almost 900 21 presented plastic boxes of rubbish from the street of the Big Apple at between ＄50 and ＄100 each. Buyers from 19 countries have paid for the souvenirs(纪念品). The idea has been so successful that he is thinking of promoting it around the world.
It all began when Mr. Gignac was at a summer workshop. “We had a discussion about his importance of 22,” he recalls. “Someone said packaging was unimportant. I disagreed. The only way to prove it was by selling something nobody would ever want.”
He searches the streets of Manhattan and typical 23 include broken glass, subway tickets, Starbucks cups and used 24 forks. “Special editions” are offered at a high price. He charged ＄100 for rubbish from the opening day of the New York Yankees stadium.
Mr. Gignac denies 25 his customers for fools: “They know what theyre getting. They appreciate the fact that theyre taking something nobody would want and finding beauty in it.”
Some 26 customers include people who used to live in the city and want a downtoearth souvenir. He claims he has even sold to art collectors.
Realizing that the concept appears to be a real moneymaker, Mr. Gignac has 27 a company and is employing his girlfriend as vice president. He 28 to discuss his profit margins: “Its actually quite a lot of effort putting them together—but yet, garbage is free.”
Mr. Gignac is considering more varieties of souvenirs. He maintains that he has signed 29 with people interested in 30 projects from as far as Berlin and London.
