WOW I wish I could do this! I could turn a profit SUPER quickly! Not that I would, I mean I assume this illegal? I'm not sure on the legality. The bars are counterfeit, but are clearly described as such. Don't try this at home, kids. |

Yes, don't try this at home. Try it in China.

Bidiots at their finest. If they are illiterate, then they should not use ebay. I have no pity for them. |

All you had to do to figure out that these were fake was to read the listing.

Although I don't like that the sellers are knowingly selling fakes, I agree- anyone stupid enough to buy these deserves it.

I wonder if they also have the assay card. I encountered a fake a couple of months ago, Perth Mint with assay card and a half-gram overweight, from a known scoundrel. These are in the market now here so be careful and always test your buys, even if you have to destroy it, because gold is gold, don't get attached to the shiny! Edited by Libertad

Just made a rough calculation of how much gold is consumed, on a 1 troy oz clad bar.
If it is pure copper; 100mil of 24k Au plating is about $5 in gold material.

Parklane64, what is wrong with that listing for 1 pennyweight of gold shot? that seems to be a completely honest listing. the price might be a tad high but not as high as I've seen sellers ask.

Hmmm, I live in China. Maybe I should look into getting in on this. You can buy anything here. ;)

Parts of that ad are a bit weird, though. Quote:
Precious Metal Content: 1 oz bullion: gold
Shape: Bar gold bullion: 24k
Certification: Uncertified 24k bullion: shot
Metal Type: Gold casting grain: milling
Fineness: 1 milling grain: gold shot
Brand/Mint: Stuller Mint round: gold bullion
Year: 2015 solid gold: not scrap
Country/Region of Manufacture: United States refined gold: gold shot
gold shot: 2015 Here, they say 1 oz. rather that 1 dwt, bar rather than shot, and fineness of 1 rather than 0.9995. Also, what is 'Solid gold: Not scrap' or 'Gold shot: 2015' supposed to mean? |

It is supposed to confuse the uninformed possible buyer into making a bad purchase. Nothing more, nothing less

I guess it could confuse someone into buying, but if you get confused into buying you probably shouldn't be looking at the internet at all. They have some saying about fools and their money cant quite think of what it is right now.
