I bought a chunk for $1.12/gram from a reputable dealer on eBay over two years ago according to my notes.? Maybe I got a break but he states that 20 kilograms was claimed but there is well over 40 kilograms available.?


In any case, I do not collect falls partly because there is a lot of fraud and switches going on.
