I would get a mortgage on a nice big house and pay it all off with a single weeks pay in a years time.

Sugar.

Seeds and land to plant them in. If food starts costing that much them I'm growing my own. There's no point preserving my wealth if I can't afford to eat....

I've had my eye on a nice pair of shoes recently so I would buy those.

They're brown.

Black gold, by the bucket load. Keeps you warm, keeps you mobile and keeps you flush (when you sell it)

Diamond, easy to smuggle, easy to sell.

+1 There's no easier way to pack the pounds into such a small space. But if you've not got a lot to hide/protect then gold is probably more easily traded.

Guns made of gold.

Are people considering the difficulty of storing and distributing 25k of oil/petrol haha?

Then what would you trade it for? Gold!? Might as well have the gold to start with

Gold, diamonds and guns, you say?

I'd hire the guys with the guns in this thread to be my personal army, and the guys with the land to be my peasants.

Sorted tbh.

You'll get lots of geeks with replicas.

Diamonds and small gems that can easily be hidden because with gold you will need some place to keep it safe and probably pay to make sure it is looked after.
