Nailed it … Fingernail clippings are supposed to end up in the trash or sometimes deeply embedded in the carpet. They're not supposed to end up for sale on the Internet. But then again, the world has become a very strange place. People in China are getting big bucks for their fingernail clippings, which are then being used in traditional Chinese medicines to treat things like stomach issues and even tonsillitis. Companies that produce these remedies are buying clippings from schools and villages, then washing, drying, and grinding them into powder for use in medicinal products. People are getting about $21 per kilogram of clippings. And if you're thinking about selling yours, they're only buying fingernail clippings, not toenail clippings.
