Description

The listing, Vial of Gold Leaf/Flakes (please read description before bidding) has ended.

This auction is for the vial of gold leaf/flakes seen in the first picture. The clothes pin next to it is for a size estimate (I find it very strange that as a college student, I don't own a ruler...). If the winner uses the GIN, I will send the five (5) vials in the second picture and will provide free international shipping! Below is some info on ALL the vials like this vial:

- The gold inside is UP TO 24K, not pure 24K. It is a mix of different purities from 10K-24K gold (most of it being 20K gold). This is true for ALL of these types of vials and they are advertised in a very deceiving way (or downright wrong). Real 24K gold flake vials will come with a certificate of authenticity (because of all the falsely advertised products).

- The gold inside is not worth "A HUGE TON OF MONEY THAT WILL MAKE YOU SAFE FROM THE DEPRESSION" as advertisements/commercials would want you to believe. First off, there's not that much gold in these vials. Secondly, gold prices have spiked, but won't continue their current trend.The depression has caused a large spike in the gold price as so many people have rushed to get it, but that rise won't continue and will likely drop off as the market saturates and the value of the USD begins to rise again. This item should only be bought as a novelty item, not an investment!

I wanted a few vials as novelty items, but the unit price for 20 was WAY less than the unit price for a single. I ended up getting 20 and thought I'd provide them for other people who only want a couple as novelties and also don't want to pay the unit price for a single (or wanted to use credits instead of real money)! Please let me know if you have any questions about these vials!

The good news is I've got 15-18 to sell! Hope you win one (or five)!

Doesn't seem worth the effort to have these vials.

This is the second auction of mine you are commenting on making claims about the value of the items or credits. You have continually harassed the bidders of my auctions, claiming that your auction (of the exact same thing) is a better deal (which you'll note that 5 for 7500 is a much better deal than 1 for 2200).

You are entitled to your opinion on the value of these vials, but I've been completely honest about the vials and their contents. If you make more posts like this or harass any more of the people bidding on my auctions, you will be blocked.

Ugh, I cannot update as this is ending so soon.

I apologize to all the viewers of this auction for freddbear77's behavior. I have blocked him from my auctions so that he will stop sending advertisements for his own auction to the bidders and commenters. I'm sorry to everyone he affected.

If I had enough to do the GIN I would. Wish I would have seem this before I just did a 2500 GIN for 1. :(

I'm thinking about putting a few more of these auctions out (when these finish per Listia's rules) with the GIN for a single. Unfortunately, I can't put the GIN any lower than 2000. As long I make back cost and shipping on these, I'll be happy! If you'd like, I can message you if I put that auction up?

If I were willing to send a padded envelope with a postage paid shipping label would you do a GIN for 5 vials again?

May 30th, 2012 at 5:30:38 PM PDT by

I have a second auction up already and there will be at least one more (the number of auctions I have just depends on how fast I get rid of my extras :-P)! And shipping is free in the US, GIN or no GIN!
