we're here on Sanibel Island which is
known as the shelling capital of the
world now for those that don't know
shells are big money we're gonna show
you some on eBay and we're gonna have a
little bit of a challenge today we're
gonna find out who can find the biggest
shell B or George let us know in the

Jeremy hashtag if you think it's gonna
be Jeremy remember I'm big I'm huge and
I've got the upper hand I already found
something cool
[Music]
we're gonna type seashell in the eBay
search with the magnifying glass and
then from there we're gonna head over to
the filter off to the right and we want
to look at sold because we want to know
exactly the price of shelves look
there's a shell right there six dollars
but we don't want to know just a six
dollar shell so we're gonna hit sort
also off to the right and we're gonna
scroll to highest to lowest we're gonna
figure out what shells have sold for the
most what should we be looking for
here's a 13-inch clamshell sold for 1190
$3.77 pretty incredible there look at
that
Black Sea fan Wow thousand dollars
almost $200 shipping we see any those
we're gonna have to hold on to those I
don't even know how to say that but
there's no doubt that's a lot of money
right there there's another sea fan
mm-hmm
we're definitely gonna have to be
looking for these because these ones are
all over the island and that's $582
right there and there's more there's
more there's another giant clam that's
pretty cool look at these so beautiful
so we can even see here here's seashells
right here 450 dollars best of the best
here's I can't say all of these I'm sure
you can but this is what we're looking
for we're looking for anything that's
potentially going to make some crazy
money
look at that trumpet seashell conch
shell these one 375 dollars those are
all over the island look at that holy
cow $379 three hundred and eighty
dollars three hundred sixty-five dollars
and we can keep on going couldn't we 342
there's one side of a clam shell $285
just a fossilized pink coral alright
this is just this is crazy look at the
money in shells one shell one this is
I gotta stop talking about it we got to
get out there and go find it look at
these prices this is crazy the key to
good shelling is gettin right on the
edge where the water hits the bar and it
rolls the good shells just like this
this bird right here I forget what
they're called but he's fishing along I
could almost reach out and pet him I am
less than a foot away from him and I
think he's George hunting was he hunting
for you what did you find something only
for the right side of a bra you have to
pull that out it only counts for bras

cheating cheating and you know it she's
gonna be cheap like that I need to
recruit a new member on my team somebody
