Unlikely Business Ideas - Montana Tumbleweeds

There is a site called Montana Tumbleweeds. The woman who runs it originally made the site as a bit of a joke as she was learning HTML. She lives in Montana and has a lot of tumbleweeds blowing across her property. She started the online "business" of offering tumbleweeds for sale and was shocked when people started placing orders. Now she has a thriving business, as people all over the world think it's cool to order genuine Montana tumbleweeds.


What kinds of unique things do you have or know about that someone might be interested in elsewhere in the world? If we lived in the 1970's, perhaps Ohioans that live towards the east could sell vials of the Cuyahoga River as fuel. After the river caught on fire, I'm sure that the market demand would have been at its peak. If you are interested in starting an internet based business, I wish you all good luck in thinking of a unique product like Montana Tumbleweeds.
