...60-75$ a lb for gold fingers if they are close cut and he has a half pound

Good call, I was going by the image and thought it looked to be the best part of a lb of trimmed fingers, + those on the RAM + chips / daughter boards.

Note to self, read descriptions!

Back to my quiet corner :|

How much do you think Steve's dvd will go for? I wonder if it will go for more than what's listed on his sight. If it did it would definitely be worthy of this thread.

Now here is a total fake which the seller claims is real 24K and should be worth $1000! I guess it's just as well someone didn't butcher a real ingot. I contacted the seller through Ebay but I'm guessing he is either really stupid and thinks it's real, or he knows it's a fake but is taking a chance the buyer won't have it tested?

As I pointed out to him... PAMP SUISSE and CREDIT SUISSE aren't the same thing. Also if you compare his ingot to any picture of a real CREDIT SUISSE ingot: The frame around the name is too thick, the "999.9" numbers are too small, and worse yet it should actually say "999,9" with a comma and not a decimal point!

Will be interesting to see what he replies with, but I can pretty well guess!

Anyone who do believe that 1oz ingot or bar is that big and thick is asking to be ripped off.

Given that he has 100% feedback received, he's always given good feedback both as a seller and buyer it leads me to believe that maybe he has been ripped off with this item too.

Either that or folks who have no idea what they have bought are happy with the heavy, yellow shiny thing that turned up - just as promised.

Look at the scale. A 1 OZT ingot plus chain only weighs 23g?

 

[Palladium]

It's fake. The bottom of the bar has been chopped off to hide the serial numbers because it's a fake and the numbers would show it.

Ralph I agree it's fake mate.

I just think that given the guy's history he's either been taken in himself or he's branching out into a new career conning people 8)

Yes you're all correct. He made up a reason someone would cut it down (21 Grams for a 21st birthday present). That being the case the details we can see should match a real ingot and they don't. Based on his nasty reply I'm guessing he knows full well it's fake. Oh, and I'm banned from bidding on any of his auctions now too! Whatever will I do?

I'm sure that you'll cry yourself to sleep feeling all rejected. Oh wait..... 8) 8)

Well he got $785.50 out of somebody for that mess. I should have thought before to look at his completed auctions. He previously sold the top sliver and the sawdust (which in one picture looks pretty coppery to me) in one auction, and the bottom piece in another auction. It's interesting the "ESSAYEUR FONDEUR" cartouche on the bottom piece is much larger than it should be, probably to distract from the fact it had no serial number which should have been below that? All together he made about $1240 off the three auctions.

And all off of plated/clad items that he conveniently didn't tell people about. Let them think it was solid.

From the picture, shouldn't 1 ounce be 31.1gr? The scale shows 23gr including necklace...

Well he apparently cut the top and bottom off some sort of fake Credit Suisse ingot (which he was calling a PAMP Suisse ingot) leaving 21 grams, then put a 2 Gram chain on it?

You might be spot on. The bottom part really looks like cut off.

I've been watching and waiting, and I see his buyer left him negative feedback. Can't say I'm really surprised!

Here's another bright boy... Even if this plating scrap was all 24k (the big piece obviously is not), it would still only be worth maximum $598 at current spot price. Then he says his father collected it from the tanks and brought it home from the plating company he worked for. Sure sounds like stolen material to me!

You're right! The guy is some kind of hothead.
