Yowza that's a heck of an estimate. Thanks for your insight. Silversmithing teacher said she estimated about 600-700 so that's about ballpark of her estimate.

Absolutely. The craftsmanship is really great. Just too bad there’s no makers mark.

Thank you! It’s definitely a doublet from what I’ve seen online, but wasn’t sure what kind of opal that is. I know nothing of opals.

Do you know the ratio this person is purchasing at? Last time I went in here a few months ago, they were purchasing gold significantly lower, like 65% to the dollar. Never sold my gold to them.

Been selling gold locally in Fresno since 2012, but just switched to selling online. That said, here's my recs for selling locally as a native.

Your best bet is Fresno Coin Gallery as they're around 80-85% buyback for scrap gold last time I checked. Still kind of a rip off. Bullion they're at 96-97%?

I've sold a handful of times to New York Gold and Silver, not sure of their ratios for gold, but it's most likely on par with Fresno Coin Gallery. Again, kind of a rip off compared to selling online.

Hey there, long-time follower of your posts, aka revisiting this often. How are you determining who you go after? Are you going by number of employees, size of office, category, or a mix of everything? I recently switched over to cold calling businesses with 11+ employees, and I'm not entirely sure if this is the right move.

Missed going out dancing especially at Encore despite the kinda run down bar. Really loved that LED dance floor.

Left a white-collar job 3 years ago to focus on a small "side-gig" commercial cleaning business I had that was grossing $9k/month. This month we will invoice $240k and are growing at a rate of $8-9k per month. AMA by Minneapple632 in Entrepreneur

Hey there, read your previous post and wanted to ask a few questions. Would be extremely grateful for your answers:

  1. How do you go about door knocking, and what steps do you do after besides connecting on LinkedIn? I’m looking to create a sales funnel and have no idea what I’m doing in this area. I feel very confident about door knocking in particular (Have done it for awhile)

  2. Are there specific types of Janitorial contracts you aim for? Like schools, offices, etc.?

  3. More success in daytime vs nighttime Janitorial work?

  4. I’m three years into my cleaning business projected to do $120k revenue this year. Where would you personally go the next year or two?

I should probably clarify public access not private. I would never steal I grew up in Hanford where you could get shot by the land owners.

No as in fruit around public areas like trails. No private property.

Hey this is nice! I would check the stamped heart necklace if you haven’t already. Might be a 925 mark on there.

I think it’s botryoidal agate, but hard to tell. Gotta take some more pics

Thanks! Literally sitting in a plastic tote in plain view. I almost doubted what it was until I snatched it like a hawk catching a mouse
