"While the storefront at Peachtree & Piedmont Road in Buckhead, Atlanta, operates as a genuine brick-and-mortar dealer, the viral videos of people casually bringing in watches expecting millions—only to be told they are fake or low value—are scripted for views. Furthermore, notable watch experts and collectors in the community have routinely debunked these specific TikTok negotiations as scripted acts featuring paid actors."
I’m thinking that because they just outright agreed to take $608 rather than the $20,000 they initially wanted makes me think that either they were hoping for a clerk with no knowledge that would just trust them that these were gold bars or those are stolen and wanted to squeeze the most out of them so probably both.
tbh the fact that they took such a low offer combined with them continually repeating that weird "we have a party to go to" line makes me think they were probably stolen and any offer they got was a profit
Exactly. About a year ago maybe, but not recently. And if this video is real (and I have my doubts) they just accepted his proposal without even validating his price.
Well white gold do exists, but not as silver. It is usually made by mixing pure gold with white metals like nickel or palladium and often coated with rhodium

90% sure every single one of his shorts is just staged.

I bet they stole that from one of their parents.

"this is bullshit! you don't know what you're talking about!"
"I'll give you 6% of what you were hoping for"
"we'll take it"

They can buy a lot of meth for $610. And they will.

Dunning-Krueger out in the wild. Incredible.

That's not Dunning-Krueger, that's a half-assed scammer. They tried literally arguing against printed script and instantly going to the manager.

Expert negotiators. From wanting 20k to accepting 600 bucks. https://media4.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPWE1NzM3M2U1ZDZiMm1sYnB5MmVicDRtcW5icTc0dzNrbWNqNGZla2NvaTZvc3p6MiZlcD12MV9naWZzX3NlYXJjaCZjdD1n/19GIHDk6wuw9HVGsiM/200w.webp

Shart of the deal, just like the dude they voted for. Went from Karen mode to "we'll take it, we need the money". Chumpstain oxygen thieves.

Holy shit I just checked and gold is at $4,000 an ounce. God it's so weird what people put value on.

Try the logical, maga approach - "Well, they obviously spelled 'white gold' wrong."

An excellent example of how to handle a difficult customer situation. He did an awesome job, not losing his cool or laughing.

And like the man said, bars are 999+, so they are yellow.
AllHailMegtaron
he said there are no white gold bars, because gold bars are allways 999 gold and white gold is never 999. The highest white gold i could find is 750.
VibratingNipples
I never mentioned any bars, said what it was mixed with other rare metals
