Maybe it's just gold fever ? That kind of greed causes all kinds of foolishness ?
I sometimes wonder if the refiners buy them at an inflated price so that they can get a better idea of what the actual yields are. I would imagine that kind of thing is a closely guarded trade secret. It's not that you would get the money but you might gain the knowledge ? (That could be far more valuable over the long run.)
I dunno ... doesn't make sense to me either. The boards are pretty and all but i'm not seeing 800.00$ + in material value there.
