Fallout - Man preorders Fallout by sending Bethesda 2000 bottlecaps

He should have just used NCR Cash.

According to this link a single bottlecap weights 0.004lb, so 2000 bottlecaps weight ~8lb

And according to this other site tin as scrap is worth ~$6.70/lb

So this man sent ~$53.60 in bottlecaps for a $60 game. You would need to send 9-10lb so that the scrap value of the bottlecaps reaches the cost of the game.

Bethesda should actually accept this on a regular basis and make a recycling drive
