Ok! Ok! I must have, I must have put a decimal point in the wrong place
or something. Shit. I always do that. I always mess up some mundane
detail.

It has removable washable cheek pads too! What a buy! I think he failed to mention the embedded  20 karat yellow diamond. I'll bet it is some drug running scheme; you are actually bidding on 18 kilos of cocaine.

It's more impressive that someone can fit 18k's into a helmet

http://www.justice.gov/dea/concern/cocaine_prices_purity.html (http://www.justice.gov/dea/concern/cocaine_prices_purity.html)

Says $118 per gram.  at an average of 60% purity.

So $118x1000 = 1.18 million dollars, assuming it's still 60%.  So if it's 100% pure, we are talking close to 2 million dollars...

And thats almost twice what doctor evil asked for the first time!

1 million dollars (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l91ISfcuzDw#normal)

I love that the government may have something to do with coke prices

Do you think anyone's ever bought a kilo one gram at a time?

eta: I just read over the site you linked to and everything on there's high too.  (Not by nearly as much though.)  Maybe that's b/c they're using data from 2007, I dunno.

I asked him if he'd accept $4,500,000.00. He said he'd take $4,000,000.00. Not the best English though, which may be the core problem/ source of hilarity.

Maybe he meant to list it using a different currency?

So you offered him 4,500,000 and he counter offered with 4,000,000 this guy isn't a very good business man.  Maybe that's why he is asking so much cause he figures after all negotiations it we end up being $80.00
