    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.

    2/10 Prize 8/10 Prize if delivery is included

    I can put it in the front yard, spray paint it gold, and start a neighborhood cult around The Cube.

      You ain’t putting it anywhere. It’s getting delivered and staying where they put it.

      A single 5 foot cube of tungsten would weigh about as much as an above average sized single family home.

          I mean, I can only estimate it’s size from the person standing next to it. From there I can use that estimate to get the volume of the cube, then the weight, then look up the cost by weight right now and apply the average.

          So it would be somewhere around 1mm by weight.

        I’m betting I got it a few months before someone can gather the equipment to steal it. It would have outlived its novelty and likely be a burden at that point. If the cult works out The Cube should be self sufficient and could even become a profitable local attraction.

          A tungsten cube that size would weigh a fuckload.

          To just deliver it would be an undertaking. There will be roads between you and the where ever this came from that are not rated for that weight.

          You may need a specialized truck just to move it, and a crane to get it on and off said truck…
