The gold one is $350, the others an easily-passed $20.

Same prices as those baggies that guy in Massachusetts was selling on Craigslist. Hmmm, do these polished turds come with complimentary ‘gifts’?

[teknocholer]

Eww! Reek, eh?

If I can’t get it studded with diamonds and gems, I don’t want it.

Looks like the two black versions are actually $25 each, once you click through to the Shapeways page…

[nimelennar]

I thought you had to earn those.

Wondering what is needed for polishing it?

[anon24181555]

“easily passed”

[anon73430903]

Are they going to make them in all the different colours?

[SteampunkBanana]

Whatever you do, don’t go looking for an Archemedian Screw with an online search…

So 2017 starts off with a turd you can actually polish…

Gold plated Turd, also called the Trump Dump.

For starters, you damn well better have a union card

[Nightflyer]

If I remember correctly, Mythbusters did prove that you can indeed polish a turd.

[anon61221983]

Turd polishing is a unionized profession? That explains political pundits being so affluent as a category, I guess.

The perfect inauguration day present.

I’m actually the guy who shits those and, no, I don’t think they stink.
