   Ive always read "selling water by the river" as to do   
   something that is pointless... why would someone buy water   
   from you while you they get it from the river for free?   
      
   Whereas, in the UK, "sell you the shirt off your back" is   
   regularly used to indicates someone is particularly good   
   at selling or is being fraudlent.
