    Assuming that’s about 5x5’, and going by the price of the first tungsten cube found on Google, this would be worth about 15 million dollars. Decent prize of you could move 150,000lb.

        Welcome to another exciting episode of CAN! YOU! FENCE THIS?!?!*

        Alright contestants, this week your prize is: 600 tons of wood chips! Whoever earns the most money selling your prize will be our lucky winner and move on to round 2.

        Reminds me of an impromptu back and forth prank a set of brothers used to pull on each other where they regifted each other a pair of hideous moleskin pants in increasingly elaborate ways.

            I think I’m going to pitch it to the History channel. Maybe see if I can get Jason Murphy on board.

            “Welcome to Can You Fence This, the game show about finding buyers for valuable yet burdensome objects. Ordinary contestants will compete to unload their consignments for the most money without destroying public infrastructure.”

            Shoot it in Nevada, lots of establishing shots of the cast standing with their arms folded in very orange light.

      Unless there is some clause talking about time to receive or “only the participant”, then I would sell this thing at a fraction of the price and frolic into the sunset. Let someone else deal with the logistics, I just made an easy Mil.
