1 pallet = 20 ? monster boxes of 500 = 10,000 ouncesHALODIN wrote:That's my point. What else was I suppose to do with it and @ $9/oz it was more than 5 pallets worth, I had no choice.

5 pallets = 50,000 ounces
50,000 ounces X 9 ( cost price ) = $450,000
Sold at 220 % profit = $990,000- $450,000 cost = $540,000 clear profit.
Halodin you are a genius clapclap

So food, clean water etc aren't more practical than a lump of shiny metal that doesn't tarnish?.Has there been a real TEOTWAWKI scenario where gold or silver has still been worth more than the basic necessities needed to live?.Hell, even Lucky Strike cigarettes were the unofficial currency of immediate post-war Germany.If a mile wide asteroid hit Canada or Europe tomorrow would survivors worry about who's got gold to trade?Explosive wrote:There are no practical items in the UK in wide enough circulation to make a difference.

Rothmans and Soap used to work in Morocco in the 70s. No mention of gold there.

Re: Intelligence
And in Russia for a good while Jeans/windscreen wipers/bath plugs etc. would see you ok.
Purely supply and demand.
Although I can see that investment in metals etc. might be a better long term policy than money in the bank if things go south.

There is only so much food you can store and eat, That I took care of easily. Precious metals are a store of wealth, nothing more............

Re: Intelligence
But what if things go so South they're Antarctic?, surely gold and silver only became valuable as currency once a society was fairly established and settled?.If a SHTF scenario sent us back to the theoretical Stone Age then surely the barter system would return?.markS wrote:And in Russia for a good while Jeans/windscreen wipers/bath plugs etc. would see you ok.

Re: Intelligence
I absolutely agree - hence the supply and demand bit. No one rational would want gold/silver when they are starving.snayperskaya wrote: But what if things go so South they're Antarctic?, surely gold and silver only became valuable as currency once a society was fairly established and settled?.If a SHTF scenario sent us back to the theoretical Stone Age then surely the barter system would return?
I was only saying that physically holding wealth would probably be better than trusting the banks at a certain point because at least you have control over something.
Personally I'd probably look at breeding and trading food animals as a source of barter, rabbits initially then maybe something larger?

Money in the bank is a dead loss right now, never mind if things go south.
