Gold Xbox 360 Faceplate - Real Gold!
Yes, someone has turned a 999.9 gold bar into a 24k Gold Faceplate for the Xbox 360. You may think thats gonna cost alot, well yeh, it does and it starting price is $36,000 on ebay.
From the ad on Ebay:
Yet another issue seems to be repeatedly brought to my attention. I would have never guessed this, but apparently there is a LARGE number of resident experts out there who seemingly know the cost involved with producing one of these. They must have 5 or 6 of their own and are heavily involved with the manufacturing of them.
I am amused as out of the 40,000+ views so far, people write me as though they are the first and only ones to figure out that the weight of this gold in a simple bullion form would only cost around $14,000-$15,000.
Yup, just buy a chunk of gold, and whack it with a hammer.
Whack it with a hammer?
Yup, just whack it with a hammer and then you'll have a perfectly formed faceplate.
