[QUOTE="lettow, post: 338333, member: 6986"]It probably only has value to someone who wants to be taken in by a scam. This box is similar to ones that were involved in scams uncovered by the FBI. If you go out to the website of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York ([url]http://www.newyorkfed.org/banking/frscams.html[/url]) you will find links to pictures of similar cases all of which are bogus. Almost all of these scams originate in East Asia including China, the Philippines and Malaysia. They are usually accompanied by some BS story about how they were part of a stash hidden away at the beginning of WWII that belonged to Chiang Kai Shek or the Philippine government or some American industrialist who intended to return after the war but never did or forgot where he hid it, etc. If you are considering buying it, I would require that it be opened first.[/QUOTE]
