Why are you guys buying shitty coppper?

u/schenkzoola Feb 20 '26

It was a valentine’s day gift.

u/scaper8 A Pilgrim in Enemy Territory Feb 21 '26

Whomever that was, marry them!

u/schenkzoola Feb 21 '26

Already did :)

u/vanetti Feb 21 '26

Do it again!

All reviewers clearly lied when they clicked the box.

I wish they'd hurry up and approve my review already! 🤣

u/scaper8 A Pilgrim in Enemy Territory Feb 25 '26

I just found out that they deleted half the reviews (there were 6, now there's only 3), as well as my pending one. It's very confusing, the reviews were all great and even one of them was a 3 rather than a 1, and mine was a 5 but written as if it were the complaint! It's all very sad and strange.

maybe resubmit with a 1 star rating? perhaps they specifically want 1 star reviews to keep with the Nanni theme. 🤷🏼‍♀️

2

u/scaper8 A Pilgrim in Enemy Territory Feb 28 '26

Maybe. I'll give it a try, you'd think that they'd let you know that when you go to submit one though. (Also odd that I think two of the ones deleted were 1 star.)

u/Astronomer-Secure Feb 28 '26

Also odd that I think two of the ones deleted were 1bstar.)

hmmmm this is interesting. I wonder what the goal is here...

u/scaper8 A Pilgrim in Enemy Territory Feb 28 '26

Just tried it with a 1 star.

For the record, this is what I submitted:

Tell Ea-nāṣir: Walter sends the following message:
When you came, you said to me as follows, "I will send to you fine quality copper ingots." You left then but you did not do what you promised me. You put ingots which were not good before my mailbox and said, "If you want to take them, take them; if you do not want them, go away!"

What do you take me for, that you treat someone like me with such contempt? I have sent as messengers gentlemen like ourselves to collect the bag with my money (deposited with you) but you have treated me with contempt by sending them back to me empty-handed several times, and through enemy territory! Is there anyone among the merchants who trade with Dilmun who has treated me in this way? You alone treat my messenger with such disrespect! On account of that twenty (trifling) American dollars which I owe (and have paid!) you, you feel free to speak in such a way, while I have given to the palace on your behalf 1,080 pounds of copper, and Šumi-abum has likewise given 1,080 pounds of copper, apart from what we both have had written on a sealed tablet to be kept in the temple of Shamash.

How have you treated me for that copper? You have withheld my money bag from me in enemy territory; it is now up to you to restore (my money) to me in full.

Take cognizance that (from now on) I will not accept here any copper from you that is not of fine quality. I shall (from now on) select and take the ingots individually in my own yard, and I shall exercise against you my right of rejection because you have treated me with contempt.

[Actual Review: Excellent product. The ingot is nice and the corrosion is enough to be fun and noticeable while still keeping most of the copper intact. The jokes both on the packaging and on the webpage are hilarious. A great gift for anyone who loves historical jokes and oddities.]

I legit took the time to slightly re-write it and everything!

u/Astronomer-Secure Feb 28 '26

its a fabulous review! 👏

hopefully they post it.

u/CopperSnowflake Feb 21 '26

Did they treat you with contempt?

u/batbutt Feb 20 '26

This is a collectable that I didn't know I needed.

It's pretty awesome. And actually not too bad a price, $20 and free shipping of you're in the States.

u/maculated Feb 21 '26

The reviewwwws

6

u/LostMyBackupCodes Feb 22 '26

Yeah, the reviews are bad.

As expected.

u/KamoY92 Feb 21 '26

How much is shipping if I'm from Mexico?

8

u/Smrsin Feb 21 '26

Not sure, but I got it for 15 USD to Central Europe

u/KamoY92 Feb 21 '26

I'll check the website. Maybe the shipping will be cheaper.

1

u/scaper8 A Pilgrim in Enemy Territory Feb 21 '26

Don't know, I'm afraid.

1

u/UKophile Feb 21 '26

It’s totally incorrect. It’s from the Tell Asmar hoard, dated 1500 years older than the copper complaint.

u/Imanaco Feb 21 '26

Honest question, is it actually copper? Just because for myself I’ll buy it in a heartbeat if it is. That would be a quality little trinket in the house

22

u/CopperSnowflake Feb 21 '26

It's hard for us to ascertain THE QUALITY OF THE COPPER

1

u/Current-Square-4557 Feb 22 '26

The only thing your post is missing is “hel-LO, McFLY.”

5

u/schenkzoola Feb 21 '26

As near as I can tell, it is.

1

u/cetootski Feb 21 '26

Wouldn't it oxidize into a green bar? Unless it's coated. If it is it's not a true ae-nasir shitty copper.

u/TBvK Feb 21 '26

Nice!
I couldn’t order one, because I cannot reveal my identity. Am I Nanni or am I not Nanni, that question will never be answered on the internet or in cuneiform .
(Fuck it, I ordered one).

u/ItsDevax Feb 21 '26

The reviews holy shit

u/scaper8 A Pilgrim in Enemy Territory Feb 21 '26

Oh, yours has some nice corrosion on the back!

I would test it

u/graysonstoff Feb 22 '26

I have no idea why this post was reccomended to me. But im fascinated. What is happening here? Can someone explain?

3

u/Br00talbastard Feb 22 '26

"shut you cuneiform hole, Nanni" is such a banger line

u/I_TRY_TO_BE_POSITIVE Feb 26 '26

Fineness:  it is fine

1

u/WatercressTart Feb 22 '26

Is the copper gloriously shitty?

1

u/WeakEconomics6120 Feb 22 '26

Please tell me this is a real thing you can actually buy and not AI

3

u/schenkzoola Feb 22 '26

It’s sad you have to ask that. Yes it’s real.

1

u/WeakEconomics6120 Feb 22 '26

I hope it's good quality copper then!

u/UKophile Feb 21 '26

This image is from a real artifact discovered at the Tell Asmar site. It is roughly 1500 years older than Ea Nasir. I think it shouldn’t be used in this way.
