    Dollars. Getting rid of the pans sounds like a nightmare as does all the people telling you you’re seasoning them wrong/modern ones can be washed because our soap doesn’t have lye in it/etc.

      In my experience, all of those people can be safely ignored. My cast iron pan is my lowest maintenance kitchen thing. After cooking, I just wipe it out with a paper towel and we’re good to go.

    Even if the dollars are singles they would take up much less room and even better if it can be a higher denomination or just money in the bank. I have absolutely no where to store a million cast iron pans so they would cost money before they made any. I feel this is a too easy on honestly. I mean without some additional things like free storage and a business and such the pans make no sense.

    If I can sell the cast iron, I’d do that. That’s like 50 millions bucks.

        You have the inventory to back a loan, so you’ll have liquidity to start the distribution and sell wholesale not retail, and undercut the competition. Once you set up your network the rest is just managing inventory.

          if they are stored well and not allowed to degrade or are refurbished when they do. Until the loan is gotten you will need to pay for that storage. Then there is packaging and shipping. Your going to lose a lot before you gain anything.

            Hence the business loan backed by inventory (a million units of anything is a lot of collateral.
            Also, losses, if any, can be written off and a (tax) loss or insurance claim. You’ll also mitigate your tax exposure with the product rather than a million dollarydoos…which I would expect to be on the high end% since you won’t be able to pay for a good CPA or lawyer to Bezo your money.

              I mean a large amount of goods from no where and cash from no where is going to be equally problematic tax wise. But cash is more liquid and can be easily dealt with as long as you don’t straight out deposit it.

    Perhaps it’s my own lack of imagination, ability to organize, or personal challenges in seeing through a sustained effort; but, I just can’t imagine what I would do with that many dollars…
