You can see Linus soul leaving his body the more Yvonne talks about melting the controller into gold again
Well she had to spend 40k for his gme and amc not long ago
The controller should be worth more its worth as gold. It's a f***ing LTT solid gold controller. Linus could auction it later in life and get way more money out of it.
Also.. He's keeping it :)
I said the same thing XD
@@TechnologistAtWork true that. If it's kept in it's case, when the channel will die it will be sold at like 100k usd atleast
Argument for keeping it: Gold is pretty steady, so keeping it isn't losing anything AND allows you to potentially profit off it more in the future and still melt it back down. But melt it now and you loose any potential future profits and all the craftsmanship is gone.
Basically think of it as forced savings. If you suddenly need 80k, you can melt it, otherwise keep it for potentially more profit.
(Got your back linus fam)
this but unironically. me thinking the controller's worth more not melted is THE actual reason the idea of melting it down actually pains me.
They should tweak it to make it better to use, and milk more videos out of it.
@@Zestyclose-Big3127 it's only worth more if someone would pay that for it
You'd need to insure it though, which isn't free. Not terrible, but not free.
The problem is gold wouldn't lose its value, yet this model of xbox controller wouldn't be up to date forever. And the internals might not handle the adicional stress, specially the rb and lb that probably will break soon. I guess the best option is to auction it. It keeps existing and will be owned by someone who doesn't care as much about 80k as Linus's wife. The probable profit is a nice bonus too.
"What's heavier, a kilogram of feathers or a kilogram of bad decisions?"
NGL that was very funny lmao
"How heavy does a kilogram of you're fired weigh on your mind"
3:18 Gonna leave it because I watch this every time I buy something stupid
That's right, a kilogramme of bad decisions. That's because bad decisions is heavier than feathers.
@@IonMario94 haha
@@Daniel_WR_Hart ew
Pretty sure it's worth more as an art piece than if you melted it down into the raw material
Yes, my thoughts exactly. I believe there must be some rich men that would love to get their hands on this just to boast that they have it, and not use it.
They could definitely sell it for more in controller form. Price wouldn't matter to the right person.
sell it to a Bling Bling rapper
He could definitely sell that for like $250,000 to a rapper or celebrity or someone.
Was thinking the same. Depending on context it should easily be able to fetch something in the range of 200-500 K.
Man, Linus was so hurt by his wife's suggestions that they didn't include her in the credits.
Ig they didn't need to, the title says it all xD
*The ONLY piece of gold they can 100% confirm is real*
"This looks fake."
to be a complete nerd, 18 karat gold would be 75% real (durability reasons).
IKR WTF
Most people have never seen 18k gold or higher purity except maybe gold coins you then shove into a security deposit box. It is so soft that it is not long-term durable and thus not often used in jewelry. Fake 18k gold is far more common, usually for display purposes. So the real thing does not look "right" to most people.

Linus’s face when his wife keeps telling him “you’re going to have to melt this and sell the gold back”. 😂
Absolute pain lol
Man, my wife tripped out because I bought myself a fly fishing rod. I'd be in divorce court fir the next 5 years if I treated myself to a solid gold controller. 😂
That says more about your finances than it does the xbox controller
Fun
How much income does it generate tho?
A part of Linus died when he realized his wife was not having it
My wife would also have reacted the same if I came home with a gold PS/2 mouse or something. But then she'd realize it's gold, and that appreciates so... They're not wrong.
@Ice Bear 120k car is actually good, linus paid like 83k for a bad shitty controller because it looks cool. those two aren't both dumb ways to spend money.
But wanting to melt it down again is also dumb. You could probably sell it for a profit to some rich gamers. As it is THE LTT gold controller, that would also justify a higher price.
@Ice Bear well 120k for car that is most likely good looking, drive better and have better gas consumption. But 83k for a controller that can be easily outperformed by a plastic version which worth like 100$ and is significant more heavy. I mean its like comparing between buying a 1 million dollars house and a 1 million dollars bottle of wine.
@Ice Bear she literally owns a larger company than lmg lmao, she has a larger say in the finances.

For years I had always dreamt of a solid gold controller as the ultimate flex, thank you for undertaking such a difficult and expensive project for our viewing pleasure
12:13 oh god, bless this woman
Still can’t get over the quality of the craftsmanship. I understand your wife’s point of view but it would be a real shame to melt it down. The jewelers did a great job working with you and created a true piece of art in the process. maybe work out a deal with an art museum or even Microsoft. They may be willing to buy it.
Also holding onto gold as an asset seems more stable than the game stonks...
IMO
(not financial advice)
It could already be melted down by now :(
Just wanna know. Linus is the owner the of LMG, right. Why does he always have to ask for money from her wife, though ?
@@shatterpoint23 she's Chief Financial Officer of LMG
Keep in mind: not a cent of their private money has been spent on this thing. This is just a business expense.
"show this to your wife, she'll kill you"

"we can melt it down"
I asked my wife what she thought, "That's the stupidest thing I've seen". Got to love wives!!!
@@cdmarshall7448 I mean.. as cool as it is... the wives DO have a point. There are much much much better uses of $69k (nice) USD than a gold Xbox controller...
@@garrettk7166 Agreed, unless they can auction it to a Twitch Streamer who is loaded.
@@garrettk7166 Honestly, keeping the controller would be a way better use than throwing a $70,000 Christmas party. The controller won't go anywhere and can be melted down even 20 years in the future.
Considering the price of gold going up, I think Linus is actually ahead of the curve. Only game accessory that's actually a good finantial investment lol.
Guys, I know how you could recoup some of the cost! You can smelt the gold back... and make a cpu radiator! Gold is said to be a great heat conductor. Since you have the material, why not try it? that's like 2 more videos (making the radiator and then benchmarking it), which will surely help!
Yvone is not a gold digger. She's a gold melter.
Melting it down would be so stupid, its worth more as an art piece
Yvonne* I think
@@johnj8639 Yeah. But women.. you know.. 😆
Yvonne was his sugar mama before LTT took off
I think she is really practical.
No one is talking about how dbrand sent a bag of gold wrap chocolate with actually money in the bag? Whoever decided to mess with ltt deserves another raise.
the dbrand ads are always like if someone didn't give a fuck in the most meticulous way possible
I love that you're seemingly one of three people asking the important questions
Dbrand's continued trolling of Linus has been incredible.
@@fred_e Make that the single person, I found no other comment when I searched for "choco".
everyone is talking about the Linus-Yovnne dynamic, but... Colton's reactions are amazing
You heard it here first. For the next 12 months, we get a once a month LTT gaming stream where Linus uses the thing for a whole stream. Then auctions it for charity.
Alternate video title: "Linus explains to Yvonne why only one their kids gets to go to college now"
Well that's just smart, oldest goes to college and then just teaches the siblings everything 😆. Sure the siblings don't get degrees, but it all equals out... Somehow... Maybe... Probably...
@@Tojoblindeye uh huh😂
In Canada, college education is cheap, especially for citizens.
They have a bunch of them. One not going to college is fine.
@@sys-administrator well, in the US, that would not have been nearly enough for even one kid.
The difference between Yvonne and Linus is, is that Yvonne is looking at the earnings and bills every day and Linus is a little kid at heart.
Yeah but, you know. Boys will be boys.
You know, she should know better? While gold has been trending down, due to last year's global event, governments have been printing money like crazy, which means currencies will get devalued, maybe not this month, not the next, but soon, in a bit. So with some delay, the price of gold will likely shoot up, one or two years downstream.
She just doesn't want another responsibility over something so expensive. She already has kids!
@Jack Mihoff yeah, true. You need both sides to have a functioning business.
@@gohom3882 It's called being a chauvinistic tossrag.
@Jack Mihoff What risk is linus taking by keeping the gold controller? If its about the investment in gold, they can literally melt it down and keep the bar of gold in a safe and wait for its value to increase. There is absolutely no reason why it should be kept as a controller if its sole purpose was simply to make videos about it. The video is made, now what? Linus never planned far enough ahead of what to do next besides the cool factor and wanting to keep a gold controller. But as business owners, Yvonne is right. They are not rich enough yet to keep $87k in a gold controller just for the fun of it. In fact, Linus could do so many other cool projects if he reinvested that money into the company.
Wow, watching these old videos and seeing how many people we don't see anymore/left the company. Crazy
Andy has the best comments/descriptions/answers for everything, amazing guy!
If you're ever going to sell it, you definitely shouldn't melt it to sell the raw gold. Much like actual jewelry, it is probably worth quite a bit more as is than its actual weight in gold, simply due to the work that has been put in it.
also since they mixed in some other metals (impurities), to make the metal not as soft as pure gold, re-melting it to resell it they wouldn't get the actual value of the gold they spent on it? unless they can some how separate the gold from the impurities which costs money to do...
Exactly this
It's not impurities, it's just how gold is actually used irl (I think they used 18K which has copper and silver in it)
@@iluapJ they are called impurities in metallurgical terminology.
I mean just linus name could increase the price by a hefty amount. I would be shocked if they sold it anywhere from 150k to 250k us

It's time for a golden wii remote. That way when you play games with motion control it is actually insane difficult to do so given its monstrous weight
That controller is 100% worth more as a controller than melted back into solid gold. Aside from the fact it's a working solid gold controller, it's also a famous one now. If they do get rid of it, it would be worth selling it as is and I hope that's what happens.
it'd probably be better to donate to a musuem and they could use it as a tax writeoff, and it would be accessible to the public
@@DanOldMan interested idea, however I'm not sure if i like the thought of it collecting dust in a museum.

I think that some part of Linus was dying when Yvonne proposed to melted it down, because he maybe forgot to mention the alloy that was mixed in the casting process, so he didn't wanted to mention that it wouldn't be that simple to get the money back, since it wasn't pure gold anymore.
It wouldn't be terribly hard to purify, you have to do that for most sources of gold anyway.
and few years later Linus doing upgrade series...
Linus in Andy's house: "what's this golden looking controller.... wait is it?"
Andy: "stop, don't touch it without gloves"
Linus: Was this stolen from the office?
I see Denis doing this except he might actually have it in a display box.
Lol
@@grzeskop5382 yes！
At least there'll be no peel still on it :)
I think if Linus doesn’t keep it, you should considering auctioning it off. That being said start the bid with what you paid for it + $1, and anything over that donate to charity. I’m sure some super rich person would actually want that for a gaming room. It’d look great in a display cabinet. That way Yvonne is happy, LMg still makes some money (from videos), charities are happy, and so is whoever wins it. (DON’T MELT IT DOWN!!!)
This right here linus. Do this. Win - Win for everyone
Honestly they probably could sell it to microsoft as a spoof gift.
this is the way.
Make another video for the auction and milk it even more hahaha
they had a weird charity auction that went really bad and they don't want to do it anymore
The best part of this video was definitely watching Linus' wife roast the shit out of him, and seeing him badly trying to convince her not to melt and sell the thing.
The look on Linus' face telling Yvonne what he is planning to do with it is the same all men have in this situation. Grown men being turned into children. xD
Alex: * is a literal craftsman *
His boss: "I wouldn't consider him a craftsman"
Pretty sure he went to college for engineering but then dropped out so he doesnt have that *Craftsman* degree
@@manual1080 you dont have to go to college to be a craftsman, there is no "craftsman" degree
@@Sausketo You can go to college to be a crafts man, there is a "craftsman" degree. It is just not the route that most craftsman take.
I died laughing at the "wow f*** you".
Engineers are not crafts people by default. I say this as an engineer who has been given side eye many times by engineering technicians for trying to make things myself.
Honestly if Yvonne wants the money back, I'm sure an auction would fetch far more than melting it.
But then again, selling it to a drug lord, a dictator, the CEO of a company that has just fired 20 percent of its employees is going to a bit embarrassing.
i agree
@@quintoblanco8746 No because that CEO or whoever isn’t using the business money. But their own.

It's not dis"respect"ful....while I don't agree with Yvonne on the melting, (as its a piece of art and not just gold as a commodity) it's her right and responsibility as a Chief Financial Officer and his wife to accurately give her reaction/opinion on something..

Man this just seems like the best workplace ever, Imagine getting to work on tech ideas all day in a good environment
If Yvonne wants an ROI, auction it off to rich collectors. Or get Microsoft to buy it and display it in their HQ or something. There's other options than melting down a work of art.... just don't game with that thing.
For sure, if you’re some kind of gaming celeb pulling $5-10million+ a year, or just anyone with real, big money who loves gaming, you’d buy this. $500k, or even a lot more, is nothing when you’re worth $50million and going up.

Maybe auction it off to Child's Play Charity, and get Xbox to market it.
@@Unknown-sz8kg i wanna buy her, Ivonne is cute
Exactly what I was thinking. Make an auction and offer the profits to charity.
Fun fact: That controller is worth more "as-is" than melting it down, the only challenge would be to find a buyer. If you can't find one, then the "scrap-price" becomes your only option. I would ask Microsoft or one of the Halo e-sports teams if they are interested in it first.
There'll be a Saudi prince who will pay good money for it.

How did no one ask the obvious: "why don't we auction it off?" ... people would pay tenfold for it in an auction....
This, That Controller is a collectible item now. There are people out there that would have no problem adding this to their collection. Objects like this are exactly what the rich look for. He can make what he spent on it AND SOME!
That's actually a really solid idea
NFTs.
And make a fourth video on it!
@@moisesgarcia960 Honestly this is one of Linus's biggest brain moves ever, and i don't think anyone realizes it, not even him!
The fact that Linus can just keep it and his wife isn't that shocked is a massive flex
He looked so crushed up until the candies came in
Everyone: cool.
Yvonne: Cast it into the fire. Destroy it!
One controller to rule them all. This is exactly why it shouldn't be melted. That thing is worth way more as it is.
Isildur didn't cast the one ring into the fire. Look where that got him.
Isildur? ISILDUR!?!
From the sound of it, it's a real split between people that think it's cool and people that think it's stupid.
well considering gold doesn't exactly depreciate, he could have it in a glass case on his desk like he wanted, and melt it down if they need the money at a later date, or sell it to some rich person for more than its value as a collectable. either way worse case its worth it literal weight in gold.
Brah, gold if depreciating like shit rn, I was stupid enough to invest in it
The value of gold does fluctuate, but it will be very unlikely to become less than half the price they spent on it.
No, worst case is controller got stolen
It is a good investment for the years to come as gold's value increases.
Yes! This! I was seaching for this comment. You just could put it into a box and it will grow its worth. There's a reason, rich people buy gold. I bet you could get upward of $500k US for something like this on the market. Not only in the middle east - Russia and even Europe have some pretty rich guys with x-boxes and a lot too much money, too.
Could this maybe spawn a series? You could try and make the lightest and heaviest controllers, maybe tungsten and carbon fibre. Howw about in indestructible one?
I love that we got a legitimate review from Anthony
Pawnshop: "The best i can do is 100 pounds of chocolate coins."
Would be awesome if they try that
Solid gold keyboard and mouse might be more appropriate for LTT😂
A lot more material and far tougher to make unfortunately.
They already did a keyboard, sort of....
Why?
No. Stop. Yvonne is already really mad xD dont make it worse
Yah LTT are not Controller players
2:35 i love that he was making a joke about the price of a regular ass xbox controller, and it happened to be that in terms of thousands
reminds me of the seinfeld episode with the leather jacket, your just missing the reaction from Kramer
Next Intel Tech Upgrade:
"Is this from the office?"
Lol!
I love how Linus knows how stupid it is, and when his wife tells him exactly how stupid it is, he gets all sheepish.
I know the feeling buddy.
This will be a head Turner at future LTT events.
LTT's relationship with dbrand is like a bro-to-bro frat friendship
