These rare 20p's, you know the ones without any dates on them, I've been looking for one since they announced them but to no avail. However a quick search on eBay reveals, astronomically ridiculous prices on there for them, this one in particular being the dearest:

I mean honestly,they're not made out of gold, supposedly there's 200,000 of them out there so why would the buyer even expect someone to pay that much for one 8O

Market/capitalist economy!

If very few numbers of a certain item exist, the price is high. If the item is common as muck...cheap as chips.

There's a story about a woman who was hit by a falling piece of meteorite. As meteorites rarely make it to Earth intact, chunks of meteorites are EXTREMELY valuable, like moon rock. The story is quite sad really, as a bidding war erupts over the meteorite which hit her. Neighbours tried to buy/steal it, the Air Force claimed it belonged to them as it fell from the sky...lawsuits were filed....etc.etc.

Eventually she donated it to a museum, fed up of all the attention.

I think this is the story: http://www.xenophilia.com/zb0005.htm


So yeah, no matter how useless the item may be, in human markets....rarity equals worth.

Thus ends today's lesson children. You may go play outside for ten minutes.

It's a recycled gag. I do that a lot round these parts.

Oh God, I found myself watching that Snog Marry Avoid show tonight on BBC3 and saw this guy from Aberdeen who wore way too much makeup. It made me very angry haha. As I said somewhere else, there's always someone to make Scotland look ridiculous. Gah!
