sold or condensed (i.e. silver/gold)?

Wow. That's a lot. Was it the old 1.35 x face rate he was offering a while ago?

I hope you demanded cash on the spot. Highroller has been getting some negative feedback on ebay lately. ;)

Edit for future viewers: Don't take this as talking bad about Highroller...I'm just teasing him about the ebay feedback left by somebody schlepping counterfeit bars. The members here are currently having some fun with the fraudster.
