Just curious about the oodles of super cheap gold flakes selling on ebay. Looks like a person could turn a nice profit melting them into bars?

I got close to 8 grams of that gold. Sent it in to cash4gold and they wouldnt buy it, then I had to call 3-4 times and raise cain to get it back. Its apparently real cause I test panned a lil dab of it. If you know what I mean. I would bid on it when noone else would and get it fer nuthin. Unsure of the melting of it though. Someone on here will know.

If it sounds too good to be true, don't walk away...run...
Its a scam by unethical people....you'd think that Ebay would filter these types of obvious scams.

I used to work at a place that manufactured silicon wafers for use in the semi-conductor industry. One of the processes involved huge crystal bell jars that were coated in 24k gold. Eventually that gold layer peeled off and was collected by some co-workers. I've heard that it takes bags and bags of that shake to have enough to even make a ring.

I think the key to it is in the first post , oodles and oodles of these gold flakes on ebay.Many traders are giving the vials of gold flakes away with whatever product they are selling.I think i accumulated somewhere around 10 of these when buying silver bullion,all of them free so that kinda tells me the value on them.

Its kind of like the little vials they sell to the tourists here,leaf gold(looks like what that might be)in mineral oil(so it looks big.........no weight to them and they seel em like hotcakes!!There are people that have figured out how to use that type of gold though to make fake quartz specimens and I tell you it is hard to tell!
