I use our parallel ebay mercadolivre.com.br as Brazil is blocked from purchasing on Ebay.
Someone has to explain to me why Latin America has to have its own national based versions of ebay and countries like Moldavia, Quatar etc. can trade freely with the US or EU? This is Ebay's policy not anything national.
Last time I checked paypal/visa/master card worked anywhere in Latin America.

cocaine ?? :lol:

Never saw that listed on Mercadolivre LOL,

It is over 300$ more than what they are worth now and that is without price of shipping.
Ebay crazies who do have more money than brain.

Winning bid:
US $1,300.00

Has anyone done a test run on these?

So the winner must think there is more than .6 grams of gold minimum per cpu? Roughly an ounce after refining? I thought they were closer to the tune of .3-.4 gram each? Then shipping is on top plus chemicals and labor. yikes!

"snipped"

Has anyone done a test run on these?

there is much discussion on these cpu on the forum, it's always funny to see people pay through the teeth for them.
 
More money than brains. I only look at buy it now or make an offer. Then I do my homework. Never gone negative, just have to be patient and wait for the right seller.

Paypal ! His risk!
I love that "No returns" policy people put on their auctions. :twisted:
 
Im having trouble figuring out just exactly what is for sale here. Is it .999? .9999? 14k?? whatever it is it has been refined 3 times and is super clean!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/301347505720?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT


Could it be, maybe she is hustling people by selling them this: http://www.riogrande.com/Product/14K-Yellow-Gold-Clean-Flow-Casting-Grain/600710?Pos=17

I have to assume the latter because "clean cast" is in bold letters. Maybe thats how she covers herself...
 
Has anyone seen this one? woohoo!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/301366724926?_trksid=p2047675.m570.l4456&_trkparms=gh1g%3DI301366724926.N8.S1.M487.R1.TR3

I see no hustle. I would do the same in this instance. Buy cheap/sell high. She's likely paying from 5-10% over spot for the beautiful ready-made 14K and 24K shot from a company like A-Mark. Jewelers buy it by the kilo jar. Her Buy-it-Now prices range from about a 100% to a 150% markup. It's a simple straight-up business deal. Anyone could do this competitively with her. You could do a 50% markup and still make money.

Her ad is terrible. I think she's saying the material is 14K made up from pure gold. She doesn't realize that you can't use relate the terms "pure" or "super-refined" (both mean 24K) to 14K and that really confused the issue. Otherwise, she's laid it out clean. Take it or leave it.
