I saw this listing for 1000 ounces of gold for a couple million and thought what seller would do this? The risk for fraud is so high plus all the seller fees!

The melt value is 1,907,910. so we have a $700,000 markup. I also don't think "free standard Shipping" is a wise idea. Plus "the price could change with the market."

Someone simply to advertise they own them, and if a buyer really wanted one they are available. Lots of stuff on Ebay are place there more as an advertisement than anyone expecting them to sell on the site. I am aware of quite a few transactions occuring because a buyer saw one was available, and the sale consummated off of Ebay.
