Governments are preventing companies from rapidly dropping house prices. But because they’re not worth what they’re forced to keep charging by the government (government isn’t forcing anyone to buy for example), developers are needing to add extra value to the sale to get buyers, hence the gold bars.
House is worth $300k, but the government is forcing you to list it for $500k, so if I throw in $200k worth of gold bars, the whole sale is worth the price.
I'm interested in why the bar is so chewed up. Are they handing out fakes as well?
you can commonly find tungstein cored gold bars at sites like alibaba.com for far cheaper than real ones.
they are aparently pretty much indistinguishable from real bars without special equipment.
aparently even some major banks found some in their inventories
I'd love something like that as a paperweight or door stop. Or to sit next to my trillion dollar coin
