"Unsearched Rolls" - Hahahaha.

This reminds me of the 1990's when I used to go to these computer sidewalk sales to buy used computer parts. There'd always be some guy selling a bunch of stuff at really low prices and it would all be advertised as "untested." I always wondered why a seller would not go ahead and test everything so that he could sell the stuff at a more competitive price. Then one day I decided to buy something and of course it didn't work. I suspected as much. Then I came to realize that every single item he had for sale was most likely tested and known to be defective.

I see these rolls on ebay all of the time, especially when looking for silver. If you look through the feedback you'll always see 99% of the people saying they did not find any silver. But as they were not guaranteed any, they can't complain much.

That must be a lucrative business. Buy a bunch of rolls, dig the silver out of them, re-seal them and sell the rolls for more money than you bought them for to suckers who think they'll find some silver.
