That was a nice catch. Easy to think this is a gram of gold and not a grain. They will be surprised when that shows up in the mail. It's going to take a magnifying glass to see it.

 

Yeah, especially when the image is blurry to where 'grain' almost looks like 'gram'

 

A little gold bar like that would actually be kind of cool to own, but only at spot value.

It would suck to accidentally drop one on a messy floor! You'd never find it.

 

My dad once made HO scale bars of gold for his train set. They were 1:87 scale. Well, they would have still been big bars but it was hilarious how small they were in the train layout.

 

I'm surprised it's that large. It must be as thin as aluminium foil.

 

Considering millions of clad buffalo coins that are sold this is no surprise.

 

well once your done with buying those 14 milligram of PURE 24k GOLD!!!!:hail::hail: coins... you gotta move on to something else to throw your money away...

 

Read through his amazing feedback.

I don't think it's so much that people don't realize it isn't a gram, they probably don't know how much it is. If they even bother to read the description it states that it is one grain with an exclamation mark! He depends on people not reading or perhaps understanding the description. Buyer beware. Ignorance is as bad as deception.

 

I agree that these people overpaid, but maybe they are new investors on a budget. It's not to costly of a lesson atleast no one paid $50. I also think if your on thay tight of a budget you shouldnt be investing in gold. But atleast its kind of a step in the right direction for someone.

 

His responses are amazing!!!

 

I like this response:

 

He is an entrepreneur

 

She's crazy it would at least be a 1/10 fractional.

 

Here comes two more warning points from the mods

 

If you scroll down to the specs of the item it clearly says "ONE GRAIN!". Can't fault the seller if the buyer isn't paying attention. Just the same as you can't fault the buyer if the seller makes a mistake and lets something go for a fraction of what it's worth because of a typo.

 

On the subject of the mini-mini gold bars, I bought a couple for the Mrs so she could say that she got gold for xmas LOL they make nice little gimmicky presents she bought me some 1/4 oz copper banknotes LOL

 

That's what they should be used as....gimmicks, novelties, just fun stuff. Not for the serious investor.
