How would law abiding citizen Joe Random from Nowhere even know where to offload that on the black market? It's a bit like internet piracy, make it easy and convenient to follow the law and most people will do it. | ||

>How would law abiding citizen Joe Random from Nowhere even know where to offload that on the black market? Considering the state of copper theft, the large number of videos on facebook and youtube describing how to melt metals into bar stock, and the low cost of the tools I dont know why this would be considered specialist knowledge. Maybe if they needed aqua regia or something. | ||

Can't say I've tried, but I think it's pretty easy to find buyers for gold. Melting it removes the legal risk. | ||

You'd be surprised of how easy it is for "Joe Random from Nowhere" to sell their illegaly sourced priceless artefacts. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lava_Treasure | ||
