buscon class ?

Hmmm.

Openly admitted in the paper he ripped the guy off.

heh

 

[jeff of pa]

I read it several Times. I don't see where he is admitting ripping anyone off .
Where am I missing it ?

he aid A friend actually Paid the Indian $300.
He could have offered him $10.

 

[ARC]

Well actually you are correct... it states a friend did it...

" a friend of mine bought it for 300 and sold it for 565"

 

[ARC]

265 dollar profit...

IN 1906.

 

[jeff of pa]

yea I need a time machine

 

[jeff of pa]

Heck ! with a time Machine, I could go back & Buy Manhattan.

though I don't know if it's worth it

 

[ARC]

It was purchased for just above half its obvious value...(15 dollars above half)
I would assume that the person who purchased (the buyer at 565) purchased it at a fair price as well.

These thoughts are what prompted my response.

Little guy gets it again. heh

 

[ARC]

Heh... buy Manhattan ?

Worth it ?

Property verses gold... hmmm

Gold.

 

[ARC]

Whenever in doubt.

Invest in gold.

The main difference between gold and property is...

Property needs to "unloaded"...

Gold unloads itself.

Methinks the nugget price was greatly exaggerated considering 1906 gold was valued somewhere around $20/ozt. and a marble sized nugget is nowhere near 15 ounces ($20X15=$300). Maybe pesos vs. $ were lost in the translation. Just saying.

 

[jeff of pa]

i guess maybe it depends on the marble
