Butter, of course.

Butter. I use it to make a piece of art, sell it for a lot of money and then buy something useful for it (i.e. neither butter nor guns).

It doesn't really matter, but I guess I'll have to come up with something more original than just copying Beuys.

Butter is a deteriorating consummable. When you have eaten it or it becomes rancid, it is worthless along with your $US250.00.

Spend the $US250.00 on a weapon - any weapon ( which by definition is a commodity) and you can have any amount of butter you want, eat it or waste it, then go and get some more. You still have your capital invested in your commodity (gun / weapon) and are getting interest on it ( that consummable )

Pump-action 12 gauge riot gun. Or a dandy .22LR semi-auto rifle.

No no no. You buy that much butter, and you make enough pancakes to go with it. You sell the pancakes with butter. People are fed and happy, and you have a lot more money. And then, as Nordlys said, you use the proceeds to buy something else. That many pancakes should support a job training program, at least briefly. Or it should at least get one started! 🙂

I'd buy more booze. I have butter and guns already.
