I agree with you that it probably should have read "'re".
In it's present form, it would need a question mark in order to create something "readable" in English.
In this case it would be quite a slangy, aggressive way of asking someone.

I think that the meaning here is not a question,
"you are gold worth"..Is that a better way of write it in English? | | | 6 Tháng 3 2008 21:12 | | | There is a stock phrase in English.
We say "You are worth your weight in gold"
Maybe it could fit here?
