Please enlighten me.
 

Came across this on a trade board while I was surfing the net today. How and why would anyone offer a 25% discount? BTW I came across several boards with different sellers offering similiar deals, only with much less of a discount. Your opinions please.

ok, I came across some other posts on another board that claims that the gold is from WWII and that is why the big discount. I am going to email them and see what comes back.

I think that is a big red flag right there, it's a haven for cheating scum over there. :2 cents:

Sure it throws up a big red flag, but the idea of it is kinda cool.
