Why would you reveal this with a video? Like…this is literally free money for the taking.
Nothing is worth more than clout on the internet.
Probably make more in clicks and adds than they can make buying and scraping a very limited amount of probably-not-actually-pure gold.
Certainly less work.
(Edit: this is the irregular reminder to crack addicts and meth heads- flocke cameras have copper you can sell.)
Oh I’m sure its pure gold. The whole half micron layer.
If you’re the gold store people are selling gold to, you make more money revealing this
If there’s only 10k of them, you would definitely make more money collecting those yourself. Putting it on the internet like that ensures that every gold store in the country starts getting those.
The people who made out like bandits during the 1849 gold rush sold panning equipment and shovels. This is the modern version of that.
Well, them and the bandits, I’d imagine.
I actually think the metaphor doesn’t really work when applied literally, except in the tautological sense. Banditry was a very poor lifestyle, only engaged in by the truly desperate.
I think we can both agree tautology works because it works, and that’s good enough for me.
That was with an essentially infinite supply of people to sell to. There’s only 10k of these things, and putting it on the internet insures that you’re only going to get an incredibly small fraction of the gold sold back to gold stores.
have some charity
Why does this person wear his rings OVER the gloves?
Apparently it’s a semi common thing for jewelry store workers to do.
I’m guessing the gloves are to avoid getting oils onto the metal, so there’s no particular reason not to also wear jewellery over then.
Is the downvote because I’m wrong?
No, some people just do contentious things without any real purpose.
So like… who at LG thought that was an efficient use of resources…? That seems a liiiiiitle bit wasteful.
It was a very limited run thing. It was a celebration for them being top-sellers. Only 10k were ever made.
And oddly enough, these celebration pieces tend to increase sales further by amplifying their advertising.
Viral marketing time bomb! Bet you weren’t thinking about LG yesterday!
Let’s see if it pays off 🍿
Putting the Gold into Goldstar (old name of LG).
Lucky Goldstar specifically.
I find it amusing that Lucky and Goldstar merged as Lucky Goldstar, then split again as LG, LS, and GS
Leaf, Gold
