The Ebay site says that this extremely rare item weighs 900 grams and is under armed guard somewhere in the U.S. More b.s. after the jump.

The seller provides the following embellished commentary:

This thing is AMAZING! When my friend brought the plate over, there was this heavenly *clunk* sound that resonated through the house as it hit the counter top. MAN- I just wanted to grab it, whack him over the head with it, and run... My precious!!!! It was very strange to hold. As I looked at it, I saw a face plate, but it felt like I was holding an anchor. (Again, thoughts of whacking entered my mind.) By far the coolest part of this item is that it is functional... well maybe it's the second coolest part. Obviously the fact that it is 900 grams of solid gold is the coolest part. But what I mean is- this isn't a "museum" piece that just sits on the mantle... you actually use it! After all, it's the price of a man's toys, not his art, that separates him from the boys!

My friend is very unique. He is very frugal and clips coupons for Arby's beef and cheddar sandwiches and yet owns a matching pair of black and white Diablos because they, "look nice together like that don't they?", as he puts it. Just before he left with the plate I told him it must be nice to be so stinking rich to be able to afford these kinds of eccentric toys. He just smiled and chuckled saying, "I'm not rich... I'm poor. I'm a poor man. But I am rich in friends!" I guess I feel better about not whacking him on the head.

Yup, so we're looking at a faceplate and two-dollar gold paint from Walmart.

Luke, I do no want this [Ebay] Thanks White Rabbit and kiros3xe!
