>people who buy this stuff are throwing their money in the toilet

Possibly, I wouldn't recommend people buy it promising gains and no losses. But I also wouldn't recommend gold/silver for that same reason. Also metals outside of gold/silver are less liquid, even Rhodium is pretty illiquid as seen here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEpUDXNaGr8

My perspective buying non gold/silver metals is more that of a collector, but also just to have some in case it pulls a Rhodium. Not expecting to sell them anytime soon.

Yes I could, on eBay there is a profit margin (at least from when I bought last, I haven't checked their current prices). I already run a business though that is good enough for my time/enjoyment. If I were a teenager still looking for stuff to do again I would probably give it a go.

What is particularly interesting is that guy in Israel, if you can get access to an arc smelt that can deal with Rhenium it seems you can sell it for much larger premiums than basic pellets if you make it look shiny and pretty. Forgetting about Rhenium there are other metals like Osmium and Iridium too you could do this with, basically bridging the gap from the industrial world to private collectors world. This seems to be what this Luciteria guy is doing https://luciteria.com/

In 2009 that 'Cohen Mint' person made the first ever Rhodium coin if I am understanding correctly (limited 1000 supply). Little projects like that might be cool for these various lesser known metals.
