    Default Looking to buy TUC 0.1g prize for collection

    Hi all!

    I have been looking all over for the TUC gold prizes (mainly the 0.1g one) to add do my collection. Does anyone have one they would be willing to sell?

    (like this)

    I have yet to see these on YJA (Yahoo Japan Auctions) but given the ever changing gold pricing is there a price range you are looking to stay in? Yesterdays value for 0.1 gram of gold has been around $58 in some markets. Add to that the specialty packaging, shopping fees, delivery fees, etc... that $58 could easily become $70-80 out of Japan.

    I've seen various other items including this one but I have no idea what the final bids grow to in the final minutes of auctions. I read this as being only for the item pictured on the left?

    Oops, my bad! I looked at 1 gram pricing not 0.1 as your picture shows for $5-10 value? So what should one expect to pay for a specialty item of 0.1 grams or more of gold? Or what is one willing to pay for a novelty item not to be held as an investment.

    This is a prompt decision (buy it now) auction but the gold content is unknown.

    Thank you @Petybob! That Sea Story bar is so cool! I am really looking for the most basic item though- just the (as you said $5-$10 value) low end TUC prize that is used for cash exchange. I am not using it as an investment- I just want it for my collection!

    If anyone has any leads that would be lit!

    I prefer mine without gold but a slice of cheese.

    Here is a link to some retro prizes. Starting bid for 10 is about $20 USD.

    You must use a 3rd party bidding service if you aren’t in Japan. I use FromJapan; it’s super easy.
