    Found these items on UK fee-Bay - 200641724344 and also 200641724451
    Selling 600 g of 24k pure gold with bidding less than $100 and only 12 hours left to run.
    Bids correct at time of posting.

    Cannot be real or could someone be about to get the bargain of their life ?
    Each bar is worth over $5,600 spot price, 6 bars totalling $33,600 so what's the catch ?
    The seller cannot be a total idiot so have to assume they are fakes.
    Describing genuine pure gold with s/n and providing PAMP certificates though would surely result in a prison term for serious fraud ?

    If someone on this forum buys and the bars are genuine then a 10% finders fee ( on spot value ) would be nice !!

    The seller is either a fool or a knave, and I expect he is a knave.

    From Nigeria perhaps?

    The seller does offer to ship but why make contact first to discuss ?
    Prefers collection in person - does that mean risking your life I wonder if the price is so low.
    Somehow I smell a rat as nothing can be this good can it ?

    The point within a circle...
    Lets hope its legit.

    I recall a mate buying an XBOX 360. It arrived and was simply the 360 box with 2 bricks taped inside....

    I laughed too :D

    Finally went for high prices so maybe legit after all.
    If I was the seller then I would have been marking my shorts at 12 hours to close.
