    If it weighed 6 ounces, sure I would!!!
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    NO!!!

    The REAL THING is bad enough (and overpriced enough). Having the mint whip one up to create demand for it, is disgusting. image

    I would buy a few. Then I'd sell them at $12,500 each within a year.

    i agree i would buy as many as i could afford and then sell mine in a year or two for an outragous profit.

    I admire the sentiment, but 5000 is alot, so there might not be much profit to be had in a year.
    What do you think, Mr. Bigglesworth?

    Heck, it's .9999 gold. I'll just scrape a leg off with my thumbnail. It would be a lot cheaper.

    with the number of threads at his forum about the buffalos, i have a feeling demand would be way high.
