How about a big gold bar? Who's bidding?

This gold bar is up for auction. Link to auction

Low starting bid. Interesting purity.

Anyone here going to bid? I figure it is worth about $76K for the gold alone. What do you think it will go for?

It's a beauty

GoldenEyeNumismatics · July 22, 2006 3:42AM

about $150,000 or about double gold value

I don't know. But I just put the $4K bid in and I'm high bidder.

High bidder once more.

You know, I just realized I'd better check Jonathan's math before continuing this bidding war.

Next bid is $28K. Well, at least I can say I was in on the bidding! I'm out. Then again...lol

I was thinking the same thing.

there is a new high bidder now, I should be so lucky to win it at that price.

seateddime · July 22, 2006 6:34AM

and I did check the math

Too bad this bar wasn't consigned to Superior. You could have BINed it for $100.

AlixTCat · July 22, 2006 9:32AM

<< <i>and I did check the math >>

144.25 oz X .886 = 127.81 oz pure gold
Gold @ $619.70 per oz
Total value in this gold bar, just for the gold, not the history = $79,201.07

Just in case anyone didn't want to do the math. LOL!

Looks like I should have made the poll from $80K to $200K, hahaha!

I was going to bid on it, but you guys bid it all up and now I don't have a chance of winning it. Not fair.

Thanks for participating in my first poll. The prize is that you get to bid on this bar without me outbidding you.

if I win it I plan on melting the bar to make tribute buffalo gold coins

UncleWiggly · July 22, 2006 4:46PM

Just checking on it. Next bid: $35,000/$40,250
