Or silver. It doesn’t say how heavy this ball is, but $9,000 worth of 92.5% sterling silver weighs 17.8 kilograms or 39.2 pounds. Even pure 100% silver is only at $544 per kg. Frankly, it better be solid, because even then, assuming it’s about a 10 to 15 pound ball, they’re charging well over a 100% markup over their materials costs. And the only way the buyer could ever manage to sell it without eating a colossal loss is to find some other rich sucker on eBay or the like. Because silver buyers will give you the current silver price at most. If it is hollow, then the ripoff becomes an expensive lesson in the square-cube law.
Sort of a grand-slam breakfast at Tiffany’s?
