"We didn't know what to do. You can't exactly take five gold bullion bars down to Cash Converters without questions being asked, so we called the police," Chamberlain told The Sun.


You melt it down and recast it as smaller things, like fricking rings.

True although you'd have to pay for someone to assay your gold, someone the potential buyer trusts.

Gold bars have that certification stamped on them, but of course you'd have to melt it anyway to erase other identifying information.

At any rate, it's still a bonanza but he wouldn't get market prices for sure.

Or you find somebody who will take them off your hands, no questions asked.

I'm assuming if you are buying Iraqi tanks money might not be that much of an issue.

Y'all are over thinking it.

Option 1 for quick flip into cash

Go to Manhatten

Find a Jewlery store owned by a Jewish family

Odds are they are a mob owned front

Profit

Option 2

Buy melting furnace for $389

Melt into smaller bars

Travel to mining camp and sell to wholeseller

He told The Sun a "quick calculation" suggested the bullion was worth around £2m but IBTimes UK believe it is closer to £1.2m, based on current market prices.


Hello, Police? I found £2m...errr.....I mean £1m in Kuwati gold. Yeah, definitely just £1m.
