Is it real, though? I wonder why they'd bother replying if his demands were that crazy. Reads like something from McSweeny's. A little more mundane but I enjoyed it when Herr's used the word "relentless" in their reply to me: http://www.flickr.com/photos/rogerharkavy/4584985945/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/rogerharkavy/4584985947/
Glorious! Moar?: http://27bslash6.com/ Includes the very wonderful "Overdue Account", already posted here I think, and "Missing Missy". (Missy is a CAT btw.)
This reeks of phony. 1. No way any company would repeat the level of detail including phrases like: "quadriplegic hooker" or "ungreased backdoor, Hammertime lovemaking session" 2. Pretty sure no one at Cash 4 Gold has a title of "seasoned geologist" 3. If keeping as evidence, they imply litigation. No way they would send a letter of this nature if they truly planned to sue this person. 4. No company would call a customer (even a ridiculous one) moronic in a letter where they threatened to sue them (see point #3) 5. No real employee would sign a letter like this without including their job title. I'm not buying it.
"Dear Blockbuster member, we want our DVDs back" is soo awesome. I can't believe these people. Makes me want to do something like that myself.
Jeff Aronson is the CEO. check him out on youtube. I think it's real and probably used for publicity.
also it doesn't seem like CashForGold is a Fortune 500 company.... so I doubt they'd be very formal about these types of things. They just seem like a small facility somewhere in Florida, and yea, I can see some dude getting pissed off about some guy trying to pass off gold painted rocks (LOL) as real gold, and sending this letter to make him stfu
Come to think of it, how DOes one season a geologist? Salt? Thanks you! Thank you! I'll be here all week..
I'm too lazy to look this up, but from what I remember reading their first offer is a lowball- You send them gold they send you an offer, you accept or decline, and if you decline they will up their price and if you decline again they might even up it a third time before sending you back your gold.
That 27bslash6 site is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. I've been following it for a while now. I'm really surprised that guy hasn't gotten his ass kicked at some point.
I once went on a soul searching pilgrimage to Tibet with a quadriplegic hooker. I feel shorted now. I didn't get any 14 karat gold rocks.
The one about the missing cat made me laugh so hard when I first saw it. Anyone with computer illiterate friends and photoshop should love that one.
