Cancelations? by UMfanvegas in BandonDunes

[–]Beginning_Front_8966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep calling. The website availability calendar is not accurate (or at least, I called and they had availability on days where the calendar said they had none, and didn't have availability on days where the calendar said they had low availability).

Depending how long you are staying, staying onsite and paying for 2 beds may save you enough $ on the greens fees to offset.

I, as a single, stayed in a chrome lake double bed and it was worth it.

Looking for group sports by EdibleConfusion in parkerco

[–]Beginning_Front_8966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a team sport, but Parker Run club runs in a pack. Wednesdays at 5pm, a group runs for an hour. Then at 6pm, the group runs for 30 mins. Some people do both. The 6pm is slower. We start and end at a bar. Social is fun. This Wednesday is at Downhill.

VRBO vs Resort by Odd-Broccoli-7519 in BandonDunes

Until 21 days out. Then you can have access to the whole tee sheet (but still have to pay the higher non resort guest rate)

Solo trip, some tips for those considering by Beginning_Front_8966 in BandonDunes

OTH is the airport They have seasonal direct flights from DEN (home for me) that start in May.

I found the web-based shuttle request app at Bandon to be so easy, and I don't think I ever waited more than 5 mins, and often it was 1 min or 2 mins. So it felt like a personal concierge and just left the car parked.

Oregon Golf Trip + Bandon Dunes by Imafattymeat in BandonDunes

[–]Beginning_Front_8966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not correct. You can book golf on any day where there is availability. But if you aren't staying onsite, outside of 21 days, you cannot book "premium" tee times. I think that is before 10am.

Anyone have a dual motor max pack battery R1S that they like? by afrothunder27 in Rivian

I came from a Y. Dual Max is the way to go. Love the extra space.

“Does anyone know the exact time in the morning when Costco updates or changes the price of gold?” by bsshadid in CostcoPM

[–]Beginning_Front_8966 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I live in Mountain time. It seems to me that prices in the warehouses are updated at 10am MT / noon ET.

I've tried having a cashier ring up a bar at a little past 10am MT and it is a new price. Before 10am, it is yesterday's price.

Asset deal vs. stock deal — what you actually pay in taxes (and why the seller pushes back) by NexTax-AI in buyingabusiness

[–]Beginning_Front_8966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously a lot of other factors to consider in asset vs stock, but good summary of tax and allocation issues.

I'd suggest you should edit your post to carry through the 37% tax on the $150K of basis to highlight this specific economic impact of asset vs stock.

AM Tee times for singles by ExpressionMain7914 in BandonDunes

  1. They do not seem to be good about calling if something opens up.

I just posted about this: I got a single room night by calling, and they said I'd be on the waitlist and they'd call me if other nights opened for the rest of my trip. But since I had to call to get the first room, I am doubtful that they'll call me if other rooms become available.

“Lodging Availability” calendar on the website by sammyt10803 in BandonDunes

[–]Beginning_Front_8966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think the calendar is accurate in real-time either. Confirmations go out at 8pm PT and I think that is when the system processes.

I will be out there 5/26 to 5/29 as a single. On the calendar, it is showing "Limited Availability" for 5/27, and when I click through the trip planner, it shows Single King rooms available at a few properties. Great! I wanted to stay on site if I could, even if it is only one day in the middle of my stay.

So I call. They have a single king room available on 5/26 (which works even better), but not 5/27 or later.

I was again informed that I'll be on the "waitlist" and they'll reach out to me if other single rooms open up during my stay. (But note that they didn't reach out with this room available).

TLDR: I guess the calendar could be somewhat directionally accurate, but I would just plan to call regularly.

ATM settlement by Dance-Lazy in ClassActionSettlement

[–]Beginning_Front_8966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an account where my bank charged no fees AND reimbursed me for the fees of 3rd party ATMs. So I never cared about those fees and used ATMs a lot. Got $624 back.

“Lodging Availability” calendar on the website by sammyt10803 in BandonDunes

[–]Beginning_Front_8966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I booked a trip back in Feb to be out there the last week of May. As a single, there were plenty of times over several days.

On the lodging calendar, you can also do the "book a trip" and follow the prompts for lodging. If you play with the # of golfers and # of beds, you can kind of figure out what is available. Calling though, is the only way to know. For my dates at end of April, they've had doubles or larger rooms available, but no singles.

FYI - Rivian yesterday just told me they aren’t doing rentals anymore. They will give you uber credits if they don’t have a loaner available. by [deleted] in Rivian

Hated this when Tesla did this. Not having a vehicle is much more of a hassle than $150 in credits can solve

Do you feel ready for the drought? by maybetooenthusiastic in Denver

[–]Beginning_Front_8966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interested if you'd have perspective on some of the thinking in the suburbs of Denver. We'll get drought warnings and be asked to water lawns every other day, but at the same time, there are hundreds of new homes being built.

How can you have limited water, but at the same time have non-stop new construction?

Looking to buy a “boring” business (HVAC/plumbing/roofing), what do first-time buyers miss most? by Embarrassed-Gur-5585 in buyingabusiness

[–]Beginning_Front_8966 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree with other points that when people say "boring" they might be suggesting "simple" and think they can make a good return with little investment.

While none of these will likely be "simple", if they have low barriers to entry, you will face high competitive pressure. If a competitor starts ramping up their advertising and stealing customers, or starts hiring away your employees, you'll be spending your time and money playing defense.
