I'm out traveling and found this ad in Mississippi. I saw the same ad a couple of days ago in my home paper in Florida.

It can't be cheap to publish this in all the states, but the ads are essentially identical, just individualized for your particular state.

This is an exciting offer which you can't refuse. The pure silver Vault Brick is being released after discovery and you are lucky if you live in Mississippi (or Florida or any other state) because you can get a one ounce Silver Vault Brick for FREE! Yes, for FREE!

The World Reserve is willing to give up five additional silver bars for just $57 each! (you must buy all 5 to get the free vault brick)

Yes, $57 an ounce!

There are apparently enough people out there willing to pay $57 an ounce for silver that this company can afford to publish full page ad's in hundreds upon hundreds of newspapers around the country.

They have set up special toll free overflow hotlines to ensure all residents have an equal opportunity to get them. They are bracing for all the calls and doing everything they can to make sure no on gets left out.... hurry!

...and here is your proof showing how absolutely stupid some people are.

Yah! "So just send $285 to my PO BOX and i'll get this stuff right out to you in the mail!"! Disclaimer: Allow 6-8 weeks for delivery! (or maybe never) At least that'll give me enough time to get out of the country with YOUR money!

Apparently a lot of people are falling for it- otherwise they couldn't afford the advertising...

So sad- what a dirty gene pool~ *sigh*

I checked and you should be able to pick them up for $19/20 per ounce so say $120 u.s. versus $285.....nice little profit margin if you ask me.

Here's how it goes. The company buys the silver for $15, they make it into a bar for under a dollar. They sell it for the price that I paid for an MS-64 Morgan dollar or three GOVERNMENT STRUCK American Silver Eagle one ounce COINS. That is so stupid, I would prefer an American Silver Eagle to one of those yet they charge 3+ times more

PCGS MS-64, I paid $60.

If folks are stupid enough to pay that kind of price for one ounce Silver Bricks, I wonder what they would pay for a one ounce Silver Rubber Ducky??:icon_scratch:

Pet Rocks

Ridiculously Rich Person Behind It: Gary Dahl

Estimated Profit: $15M in just the first six months

The idea of selling a rock is about as ridiculous as it gets. But one man figured out how to sell them and make millions in just a few short months.

Dahl, a former advertising executive, sold his rocks for $3.95 on a bed of hay. Each sale earned him a profit of roughly $3.

He sold the rocks as "hassle-free" pets, complete with a pet training manual and a card board box fashioned after a pet carrier. The rocks were an instant hit and turned into one of the greatest fads of all time.

Yep, lots of people are just plain stupid! Lots more evidence if you just keep your eyes and ears open. The stupidity that flows from so many people would be funny if it was so pathetic.

Since I worked for the National Weather Service close to 33 years and was accused so many times of using one, my' Pet Rock doubled as an "Ye Old Indian Weather Rock" until I retired. Since retiring, it hasn't complained of not being stuck outside from time to time but of course, it never complained anyways, at least to me. I guess if it did, it would be time to be off to the "Funny Farm" (for me, not the rock)!!:laughing7:
