Forget Black Friday: Buy a genuine Swiss bank vault [video]

Getting a great deal on electronics and the season’s hottest toys is all well and good, but the luster of those deals pales in comparison to the glitter filling this genuine Swiss bank vault now for sale.

According to James Edition:

The bank safe swimming pool containing 8 Million real Swiss coins is currently located in Basel, Switzerland. This is the original bank safe from the former “Schweizer Volksbank” and known to be one of the finest Swiss piece of craftwork in the early 20th Century. It is in very good shape and still usable as a bank deposit safe. It will be removed from it’s original location and be replaced anywhere in the world. You’ll freely decide what happens with it.

The coins in this safe already have a celebrity status: They were dumped out publicly at the national square in Berne, Switzerland on 4th October 2013. With no security and no boundaries…

This is not just an investment in a historical, exclusive and certainly unique object but also an investment in a global cultural impulse.

Funny, our cultural impulse is to stampede each other for 75% off while the Swiss don’t even stoop down to pick up money that’s lying in the street.

Anyway, we have no doubt you’ll gain years of pleasure from this beautiful piece of Swiss craftsmanship filled with enough cash to dive into, shovel or just throw up into the air and dance in when the urge hits.

Start sucking up to Santa big time.

    If my calculations are correct, the value of the coins inside the vault is roughly $88k US
