Close a few theoretical loopholes with why the device could never exist. But lets also assume its power source is cheap and easily obtainable, it never fails or breaks with responsible use, and it cant be reverse engineered or replicated.

How much is the portal gun worth in USD?

More than the combined incomes and internal organs of everyone in [subject home-town here].

What she said was worth more than the combined organs of every Aperture Science employee.

this is more a question for /economics/
unless we know the available supply and cost of production, we cannot determine it's relative market value in united states dollars

No one want to give an estimate?
Worth more than a couple billion you think?

There is only one, and its already produced. I have it, and I want to sell to the US government. (pretending they couldnt take it from me)

>> No.995947

Well what are the applications? You can only portal onto concrete like surfaces and they can't be moving. You need a line of sight and it is short range. I don't see that as being super practical.

>> No.995959

>>995947
Exactly my point. It has limited uses, so you could actually put a price on it compared to infinitely power devices.

>> No.995964

>>995959
I wouldn't pay more than $32,000 for one. If I could reverse engineer the power source and gain unlimited power for other devices then we are talking something like $340,000,000,000

>> No.996019

You wouldnt be able to sell it. Military would take it from you. Then they would take you under surveillence. You would be a major security problem. You would likely have to live the rest of your life in a military facility.

LOL
