Why would a gold plaited bar be sold for a discounted price of $26 from well over a thousand?

$26.97 USD $1,283.00 USD

I hate when I see Jesus being used like that.

@Pfuzylogic He would get angry and turn over their tables!

That is exactly what he would do with uneven weights.
You couldn’t be more right!

Probably because it’s real worth is approximately $20.00.

@SimplyTracie I copied this off of another website.....A bar described as "1oz 100 mills 24k GOLD!!!!" contains one ounce of worthless scrap metal, plated with gold to only 100 millionths of an inch deep (0.0001 inches of gold). In plating, "mill" does indeed stand for millionths of an inch of gold.

eBay seems to be full of these sorts of items. The terms "solid" (meaning full of scrap metal, not hollow) and "pure gold" (meaning the plating is pure, not the scrap metal) are often used misleadingly, while the term "plated" almost never appears. Gold plated items are generally almost worthless; for example, a 1oz 100 mill plated-gold bar might sell for $10 on a good day, while a 1oz solid gold bar currently sells for at least $1000.

Anything in the jewellery market is hyped and given a value far beyond it's worth.
Look what happened to Ratner's !
Personally I love how they give a value on shit stones and make out they're a 'Diamond substitute' !
Cubic Zirconia anyone ?

if it's fake then they are lying about it originally being worth over a thousand dollars, we just bought like 6 of these last night
@saintsong they could have bought it for that price, melted out the center and cast a bunch of hollow ones. Also it could be really small and cut from a much larger bar. That would still make the claim true.
@saintsong Sounds about right.
