Finally, a seller has included a good selection of photos for an online listing. These 1.6 Billion BC, give or take a millennium or two, Rocks are for sale in Mondamin, Iowa for between $1 and $100 each, what a steal! They’re even offering “volume discounts”. This is a no-brainer, folks, do not wait on this one, rocks like this don’t come up for sale too often. The new owner will have to set up the shipping or pick them up in person, which would be a good idea anyway. Lining up an on-site rock inspector to check them out and make sure that there’s no hidden rust or any funny business going on would be tough. Let’s check out these rocks!
Obviously these rocks have been stored outside but the owner isn’t giving us any info on just how long they’ve been exposed to the elements. Speaking of that, these elements are “Excellent for landscapes, fire pits, retaining walls etc.” according to the seller who seems like a stand up guy, at least when he isn’t stooped over from carrying rocks around the yard. They can be used for all sorts of things if a person is creative enough. They’re “very colorful”, according to the seller, which can be seen from the photos. I would want to restore them back to their OEM rock’ness. I hate restomod rocks, they’re so rough and tumble, in my opinion. How would you use these colorful rocks?! (and, Happy April Fool’s Day, everyone!)
Hahaha…that was great.😀
Says it all really.
I am only interested if they are numbers matching and have a RHS (Rock Historical Society) certificate.
Don’t worry about that stuff Rodent…..these are definitely a rock solid investment.
Nice one. Happy April Fools! You guys “rock”. 🤘
And I couldn’t resist this one.
No pix of the VIN plate or date code- not interested. Besides, you can’t put a hemi in ’em or a 4X4 chassis under ’em. I’m gonna let this one roll on by.
The seller is obviously stoned.
I believe these to be the last rocks that Fred Flintstone quarried at Mr. Slate’s place before the bottom fell out of the rock business. Nice Find !
Do they come with a title? If not, im out.
Those look color-changed to me – no dice!
Even at $100 a piece they are a better buy than about 1/3 of what we see on here usually.
Came here for the responses and was not disappointed.
I wonder what his rock bottom price is?
Where’s Fred and Barney????
I thought it was familiar!
Looks like the backyard of the new house we bought, Spring 1980. The front yard was ready to landscape and it took lots of work to move all the BC rocks. A guy came with a truck and tractor and never thought to ask if he was a collector.
rotflmao
Would they ship to UK?
A whole new version of ‘gettin’ your rocks off.’ Are these going to pass the EPA?
Funny! You just can’t take Scotty for granite! And for you speed freaks, these should be a real rocket!
Actually, that is about the price for landscape rocks. Is it a real ad?
Fred Flintstone is ready to cash out and retire.
Has the reserve been met😀
As driven by James Garner in “The Rockford Files”! Geez I crack me up!!!
Looks like a rocky ride.
I like the patina!
I’m holding out for the “buy one get one free” deal.
They won’t handle as well as European rocks.
Ran when parked?
There have been some marbleous comments!
AC just needs a recharge…
Ha, best comments ever!
Happy April Fools!!! I know all about rockin. This looks like a good deal.
No visible rust.
LS swap?
Quit stonewalling and bid NOW!
Ran when parked.
Buy em on Amazon prime; the two day shipping would put them out of business!
(Spoken like a true, disgruntled “brick and mortar” business man!)
I want the gold one in the middle, a little to the left.
Would’ve liked to have a crack at them before the flipper got to them.
What’s all this now? Actually, I’ve hauled rocks like this, it was called “rip-rap”. It was the material right after blasting, before it was fed to the crusher. When you loaded it, you had to put down a layer of sand first, or it would put holes in the floor of the dump bed. Mostly for erosion or walls. Now, can we get back to complaining about rusty, low mileage hulks for $30 grand? A pile of rocks,,what next? :)
This is rip rap material to me. I’ve stacked a few rock walls in my day and these are pretty boring looking color wise. Then again you use what you have access to, I’ve seen some decent looking walls made with broken concrete from a parking lot.
That owner is outta his rock picking mind…,if he thinks
These will sell at that price….,just look at the moss on them from sitting so long….owner could have at least cleaned and detailed them….they are
Pretty scarce after all….😆🤣😂😂
Period Correct
Should be easy to find any parts you’ll need at rockauto.com .
Or Cragslist
Numbers matching?
Are those “original” years on those rocks?
Fred? Barney? Nahhh!!!
Where’s Bullwinkle???
(ORE, even “Yo! Adrian!”)
Now that’s a rock solid investment!
Probably cheaper on rock auto.
I’d make a Rock Solid comment, but it seems they’ve all been picked up.
Im interested only if they are chips off the big block.
It looks to me like they have 350 small rocks, 427 big rocks and I think I saw a 500 Caddy real big rock.
I am guessing that the power to weight ratio is at rock bottom.
Sorry, guys and gals, I had to do it.
Happy Spring Everyone!
Have my doubts that the seller is the original owner!
I’m a rock collector from way back. I do not feel these rocks would enhance my collection though. Although I do know a few women who are rock collectors but they prefer the really high dollar ones cut all pretty like and chiny. Yeah gonna just have to pass on this pile. Now if they were meteors, then we could talk if I could get them at a bulk price. :-)
To crude for me, the design is positively paleolithic . . . and we don’t take those things for granite anymore, but the execution could have been a bit bolder however it will eventually get you into Pebble Beach . . .
Darn. I was ready with a bunch of good ones about original owner, patina, no rust, etc. but you clever folks beat me to all of them!
All you guys are c o r n y🙄
I’m right at home I guess…
You expect us to gravel for compliments??
Hopefully it does not get as high as the rockys.
Passing stones is no picnic for sure.
No underside pics as usual…and I can see an infestation of aggates.
A hundred million years ago when I was a kid, Parnelli Jones was a Firestone tire dealer and his advertising jingle went “I got got my ‘stones from Parnelli Jones . . . “
Let’s face it, people. These specimens are excellent examples of the earliest, if not the very first ever produced. And there haven’t been any more manufactured since the first Chapter of Genesis. Unfortunately, you can find them in abundance at the local quarry, and therefore, way over priced, as the shipping alone would put them beyond book value.
Kudos to Scotty and all the folks who leave no stone unturned throughout the year to bring all the great finds to this site for us all to see and enjoy.
Receiving my daily BF e-mail is a bright spot in my day. Thanks!
