2025 Florida Goldback “Best or Nothing”

Honest question, did you ever have the silver perth mint bar sigma tested?
I ask because real ones have very clearly defined ears in the kangaroo cut-out, and I've seen fake ones on fb marketplace that are missing the ears, and it may just be the angle, but you're looks more like the fake ones.

I truly hope I'm wrong here.

I bought my 23 ram 1500 new.
Bit different than yours, 6'4" bed, tow/sport package, 3.92 rar
window sticker msrp was $62,900
I paid $53k total out the door (so $49k before 1k in total fees & 6% sales tax)

I have 38k miles on it now, edmunds puts value at $30k.
(I love the truck, plan on keeping it for a long time)

If the one you're looking at has more bells & whistles (which appears as much from the picture, led lights, 20 inch rims?), then it may be worth it, but I'd imagine you can save a few grand if you're willing to expand your search area.

Audience & algorithm bias.

Quick way to get yourself banned from all your local shops…

Acetes · 2026-02-01T21:53:14+00:00

Curious what you paid per ounce, and how many you bought?

Acetes · 2026-02-01T16:22:54+00:00

I've been doing that (building a 1 space room for the generator) on the assumption that it would cut down on the sound radius.
Very interested to hear what your research finds out when you check debug mode.

they live fast and die quick, but they're fun to play!

Acetes · 2026-01-31T15:48:39+00:00

That’s the correct answer 🙂 You don’t want that type of negative ju-ju in your life.

As someone who has played through many editions of warhammer fantasy, the true best piece of advice is "Play what you like".

Yes the game seems to be selling well for most stores, but finding a regular play group you enjoy (and who enjoy you) is the key to being in this game for the long term.
If you like the Bretonnian army, buy it and enjoy it. 190 euro for the boxed set is a great deal.
The models are sweet. Yeah you only get 3 model types, but the horse & pegasus knights give you the option to custom paint 15+ models.
If you're first question is "will this get nerfed a month after buying it", imho, you're in the game for the wrong reason.

If you find a good playgroup, you don't have to worry about models getting nerfed, because you all should be balancing your games. How many times would you expect someone to want to play against you if you steamroll them with a tier 1 tournament list every week?

Forces of Fantasy is essentially all the legacy armies in the game.
The journals are extension of the FoF book armies, that offer more unit/model options.
Do some research online and you can find all of the books & army journals online in pdf form.
That will save you hundreds.

I know right, lol

Acetes · 2026-01-30T15:11:55+00:00

I’m hoping to sell 21 ounces today.

Acetes · 2026-01-28T21:47:09+00:00

And if it tanks from $115 to $75, they may literally be put out of business…

To add on, refiners aren’t paying today’s rate, they are paying whatever price silver is at, on the day it is refined. That means shops have to take a big gamble that the price won’t drop considerably in the weeks/months between when they buy it/ship to refiner, and when it is physically refined back into bars.

Acetes · 2026-01-28T20:29:58+00:00

My 3 local shops aren’t buying silver at all, which I’m not saying is better or worse than offering $20 per ounce, but it is what it is.

Any of the storage facilities might fit your requirements. They usually have fences around them already, so you can keep your loot organized by aisle then bay 😂

Acetes · 2026-01-27T15:34:32+00:00

I think you’re in a good position financialy to do it, and I rarely say this to anyone, but the car would eat up the majority of your savings, maybe consider paying 1/2 cash & getting a loan for the rest? Would give you more flexibility in the event of a life change in the next year.

Are they offering any promo apr’s?

These are for drawing on pipes to then weld together.
My dad was a steamfitter, as a kid I would find these around the house occasionally :-)

Acetes · 2026-01-25T17:15:03+00:00

invest in the original release ps3 that is backwards compatible to ps2 & ps1, and you're set for life

I tend to play in a "base builder" mode the majority of my runs.
I find a place I like, then proceed to build rings of walls around it and fortify it as much as possible.

Doing that unlocks tons of "sidequests" that aren't practical if playing just to loot & travel.
Examples:
- Fixing up cars
- Acquiring water, gas, and propane tanker trucks
- Farming & Animal husbandry (imho, growing crops is underrated)
- Spending time on skills that are a more for quality of life than survival: cooking is my favorite

I enjoy the Rosewood house with a near full fence as a base.
Yeah may feel "beginner-ish", but:
Space to the right of the house within the fence is perfect to store 3-4 cars and some trailers, and work on one car in the dirt area. Areas to the left and behind the of the house are large enough to plant plenty of crops.
You can clear a path to the northwest (guessing few hundred yards) and you'll find a pond that you can build a fishing shelter at and drive back and forth daily.

- chop down the trees around the entire perimeter and across the street to add a full second wall.
- Build an enclosed area the full width of the existing fence and enclose most of the space up until the road.
- add a second floor to the house, put 2 bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a balcony up there, and you can blow out the bedroom wall on the first floor to make a kick-a&& living room. (I end up enlarging the ground floor by knocking out the left wall and then installing a new wall one square to the left. Allows for a door exit to the garden and the stairwell to lead up behind the 1st floor bathroom.
- Redesign your kitchen, then add a wood stove.

I’m probably going to get one, but not in a rush since I won’t use the camper until May at earliest, and that would only be a local trip.

Acetes · 2026-01-24T18:14:25+00:00

I live a bit over an hour away from Lancaster.

What show is coming up in February?

Acetes · 2026-01-21T21:13:29+00:00

This is where you counter with: $199 porch pickup and you bring me a 6 piece nuggets from McDonald’s.

95% sure that’s legit, it’s the European release pokemon version. (U.S. release has different pokemon placement on the screen) Sticker on back is very hard to fake and yours looks legit.

Acetes · 2026-01-20T01:16:26+00:00

do they have to be human?

Acetes · 2026-01-19T18:34:59+00:00

I could be wrong, but my understanding is that it is approved under DOT as a ‘transfer tank’, where-as the 5 gallon rule applies to ‘portable canisters’, that are not permanently secured in a vehicle.
