What I like is how he tries to verify the wealth of his "friend" by saying that he has two Diablos, one white, one black, because htey look great together.

But all the rich people I know got rid of their Diablos ages ago and bought Murcielagos. One bought a Gallardo - which I prefer.

Will I still be soiled, when the dirt is off?

Isn't gold "magic" in that it has special optical properties, with light actually passing through it and bouncing back out from "within" the material?
Kinda like a multicoat pearlescent or irridescent paint finish, this is what gives gold the lustre that can't be faked.

The Xbox Faceplate is approximately 80cc in volume. Gold weights 19.3g/cc so if it were made of gold, it would weigh over 1.5kg - he claims it weighs 900g.

The whole thing is just a way of getting lots (22,000 so far) of people to look at his listing. Halfway down, he pimps his other items for sale... Taiddan garage remote controls.
