So when I can get a big fat gold ring for a quarter next to the bubble gum machines at the gas station, you think it will still be good for an engagement or to commemorate 25 years of service because it is so very non-brittle, conductive and easy to melt, mold and cast?

- throwaway_gold 7y agoYes, people will still purchase the $.25 gold ring over the $.25 plastic ring. Do you ever look at two identically priced items and purposely purchase the one of lower quality?
