All right in theory but nothing much good can come from that. But I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment

We said the same thing when it was shown yesterday. I saw the silver rounds, and interest peaked. Charging tickets ... - But if they can afford to pay folks spot price in trade, if you didn't want the treasures, they can afford the attorney's fees JIC there's an issue.

+RocTheCacheBox Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 (edited) This is actually a brilliant marketing idea. His shop is suffering due to the "unpleasantness" So... Hide "treasure" from your store. Sell tickets that enable people to "find the treasure" Almost assuredly will sell more tickets then the value of the treasure. Pocket more money than you normally make being open for business! Edited July 20, 2020 by RocTheCacheBox 3 Quote Link to comment

If you think at least 80+ people will cough up 49 bucks for a ticket. Two100oz silver bars ... if local I'd probably give it a shot. That's around two grand worth (each). Let's see... A ten mile multi , a lengthy letterbox, or a chance at a chunka silver. Hmm... 1 Quote Link to comment
+pixelteer425 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Wow, this is insane, especially as a Michigander myself. Too bad that I probably won't see any in my neck of the woods though, and they'll sell out within a few hours if they do Quote Link to comment
