    I just saw an article where someone was going to 3D PRINT basically genetically identical ivory and flood the market with it to drive the value out....pretty interesting thing if they can make it where it is impossible to detect without a specific genetic marker for instance

    PROFIT is made when you BUY/ACQUIRE NOT when you sell

    I think that would be some kind of miracle. You know how many years they have been trying to reproduce the stuff? Any 3D printer I have seen feeds plastic ... cheesy plastic at that.

    Although, on an episode of Grey's Anatomy they were printing organs. Maybe there is something to that after all :O
