Edited by: Sleyha on 08/11/2009 22:51:45 Sounds like a basic question,
Would you buy a 1 ounce gold coin for $50?
Mark Dice did that and look at the result, insane.

I wouldn't buy a coin for 50$ from a guy on the street claiming it's real gold, that's for sure.
How exactly do I know it's gold in the first place ? Why would he want to sell it to me that cheap ? There's bound to be something fishy about it. For instance, how do I know it's not stolen, and I could be considered an accomplice to the theft or whatnot.
So, no, not insane - perfectly normal.

Didn't watch the video, But i wouldn't buy it, Not because it isn't worth it but simply because any random stranger who comes up to me claiming to want to sell something of that value for fifty bucks is obviously trying to scam me. ------------------------- I'm not shirtless damnit! |

It's very clear and obvious that these concerns were not going through the mind of the people in the video. It's clear they just didn't know how much gold was worth and gave a typical ignorant response. It's just a shame that people are so close minded and stupid.
Ok let's assume they were thinking what you typed, for a $1150 profit of a $50 investment, I'd at least LOOK at the coin and feel it, bite it weigh it, which no one did, cause they're all dumbasses.

You can find Youtube videos of women signing a petition against their own voting rights, and people signing a petition to ban water.
Yeah, people are that stupid. This is why democracy is just as dangerous as all the other failed experiments in governance. You can have one retart bankrupting you and taking your freedom or hundreds of millions of retarts voting for "representatives" to bankrupt you and take your freedom.

And how many people are familiar enough with handling gold these days to be able to tell genuine quality at a glance in the street? I know I'm not, and that's before you even start thinking about handling stolen goods etc. A prosecution would love the fact you paid $50 for it. I also haven't bought a 'genuine' Rolex for ú100, 'Bose' speakers from 'delivery drivers', 'Gold' jewellery from 'reps', Garman gps, Car radios with no codes etc etc etc in the street/pubs

Oh, it's good to know all I would need to make you trust me and do something stupid is to have a buddy with a camera filming us while you do it... I mean, I couldn't possibly delete the footage later on (if I even filmed anything in the first place and not just pretended to have the camera rolling), and I'd be compelled to give the filmed material to the police to incriminate myself, right ?
You never see the actual camera on the clip - for all we know it could have been a "palmcorder" style camera, hardly something which would inspire a lot of confidence.
Originally by: Sleyha It's very clear and obvious that these concerns were not going through the mind of the people in the video. It's clear they just didn't know how much gold was worth and gave a typical ignorant response.
Actually, it's very clear and obvious that those concerns were EXACTLY what was going through their mind - nobody tried to haggle on the price and tried to escape haggle attempts by the interviewer, most started to claim they don't actually have any money on them at all, and some wouldn't even take the coin for free. That doesn't sound like "not knowing how much gold is worth", but it does sound like "something fishy is going on and I don't want to be a part of it".

Yup, the OP would probably be a good candidate to fall for it.

While indeed SOME of those people were morons, the below quote likely applies to most others in the clip.

Ah, so instead of trying to refute anything I just said you resort to this ? Fine then, two can play the game...

Edited by: Barakkus on 11/11/2009 05:36:09 I wouldn't have believed that it was actually pure gold and wouldn't have bought it. I mean some guy looking like that guy walks up to you and tries to sell you something like that, you automatically think scam...least I would, almost everyone trying to pull some **** like that where I live is trying to scam you...you just get used to ignoring them, brushing them off politely (and sometimes not) and moving on...

Well thankyou for confirming you're all as dumb as every mofo in that video, except one or two of you in this thread.
Again, my point is, if you had a concern with the "provider" of this offer, then check out the coin, hold it, scratch it, test it, it's worth over $1100 now, (soon your currency will slide so much it'll be worth $2000+) but no one even considered doing that, they were all just dumbasses.
Enjoy your future people, you deserve every bit of it.

Random stranger approaches you with a microphone and camera crew. He offers you an item, which may or may not be worth more than he is offering it to you.
Note, this is in a day and age of PUNK'D and various other prank shows on television. A world of proud people who don't necessarily want to be caught doing something dumb on TV for all to see. People get nervous, and people wimp out and their first instinct is to get away from the person in as politely (or not), yet quickly a manner as possible.
Do you really blame them for not taking him up on the offer? Do you? If you do you're the fool. You expect the general populace to know off-hand how to test it to see if its real, when the fact is most people actually do not. Stop acting so High and Mighty, christ. _____________________________________ Haruhiist since December 2008
