Well, its different for gold.
I mean, the gold doesnt decrease in value because its not turned into 'something' yet...
However, if u get some wood and some metal its relatively cheap. If you put these together and make a nice cabinet then its worth more than it cost to make it.
I meant (if its solid gold) that they would have to have some kind of method to producing something like this... most probably with some kinda mould because lets face it, gold isnt THAT soft.
It would most likely cost more than its actually worth, not taking into account a mad fan paying millions for it.

[Gold] is the most malleable and ductile metal; 1 ounce (28 g) of gold can be beaten out to 300 square feet. It is a soft metal and is usually alloyed to give it more strength

He's right, by the way: a gold object will never be worth less than it cost to make it.
