    1.95 million worth of gold scrap only need 320 k to start biding

    So I was looking at some government auction and I came across this auction.
    http://gsaauctions.gov/gsaauctions/aucitdsc/



    Based on my math that is over $1,950,000 in gold in that lot.
    Need money to make money!!!

    The link doesn't work. What is it you are looking at?

    At the heart of science is an essential balance between two seemingly contradictory attitudes--an openness to new ideas, no matter how bizarre or counterintuitive they may be, and the most ruthless skeptical scrutiny of all ideas, old and new. This is how deep truths are winnowed from deep nonsense. -- Carl Sagan

    here you go;
    By the way, this material was really worth about 2.2 mil, and ended up auctioning off for 1.85 mil.

    I saw some pretty interesting stuff on there, so I went ahead and joined. So now just have to wait until I see something I want to bid on.

    You're lucky there Wayne, your GSA regional office is right there near ya, probably a lot of their sales are stored in area warehouses too

    Yeah, I looked at some of the stuff being sold in TX, and there was two places fairly nearby, Dallas and the joint reserve base in Fort Worth. Nothing I really wanted though.

    Good luck with it, the new year might mean new sales, and everybody being broke, might mean good prices
