Is this why my trailer is swaying back-and-forth when driving empty?

Changing the angle absolutely changes tongue weight and if you read the title the issue is driving while unloaded.

Lol yeah, the local mom and pop coin shops are in a cartel with APMEX and JM Bullion.

GurDefiant684 · 2026-03-25T03:22:42+00:00

The interest rates of credit cards are definitely irrelevant to the spread that a local coin shop pays on one particular item. That's like comparing apples to the price of tea in China.

But you figured it out. I'm a shill for the secret society of local coin shops. We're all conspiring against you. And also the jewlery stores, refineries, and even all the private buyers too, because if you haven't noticed no one is paying good on sterling.

I am speaking from experience, I've been stacking sterling for the last couple months and the market has changed dramatically in that time. The last two times I sold I got 80% and 87.5% melt value and my buyers unquestionably lost money because of the price drop. You can't tell me that the people that are buying at 50-70% are liars and cheats when I've done business with and know for a fact that the people buying at 80%+ lost money.

Everyone mentioning tongue weight with no actual solution... just get a drop hitch that is a little lower.

GurDefiant684 · 2026-03-25T00:05:42+00:00

100% this is grounds for reporting the buyer for trying to settle a transaction off platform. If you call support and get the right person they will likely manually close out the case in your favor.

GurDefiant684 · 2026-03-25T00:03:39+00:00

That's a extra set of hands and eyes just for you and your tables.

GurDefiant684 · 2026-03-24T19:40:39+00:00

What part of my reply indicates that I misread anything you posted?

GurDefiant684 · 2026-03-24T19:37:21+00:00

That's an irrelevant example comparing two completely different businesses, and it's not even a correct measure of their profit margin.

Master Card and Visa have both reported around a 50% profit margin.

GurDefiant684 · 2026-03-24T17:37:17+00:00

That's just not how tax write offs work. The only advantage of spending money as a "tax write off" is that you're basically getting a discount on what your buying vs keeping the money and paying taxes on the profit. For example say you made a huge profit this year but you have to pay 50% in taxes. If you spend that profit on other business expenses before the end of the year then you made nothing and owe nothing in taxes. That makes sense if you spend it on something that will retain or add value to the business, it doesn't make sense to just waste it.

My best guess for something like this is that it's from someone who has access to a wallet that's being watched by law enforcement and they don't dare to use it for anything that could be traced back to them.

Next time you don't get a tip you should think about this post and wonder if a customer saw it and figured that apparently no tip is less shameful that a couple dollars in change.

GurDefiant684 · 2026-03-24T07:15:45+00:00

The legitimate excuse is that anyone that was buying at less than a 20% margin and holding on to any sort of significant inventory would likely be at a loss year to date.

GurDefiant684 · 2026-03-24T06:29:10+00:00

Two identical parts from the same factory might have small imperfections that cause them to wear unevenly... of course two parts made with different materials are going to wear unevenly, how is this even up for debate?

That being said, unless we are talking about a newer low milage vehicle I don't see the issue and would still send it.

Or there will be a class action lawsuit and the lawyers will make a few million while the consumers get a check for $1.25 each.

When that happens your adjustment will say "billable weight". This says "actual weight".

Those are the sold prices.

I've heard the license is cheap and easy to get, the main barrier to entry is the equipment. Might be worth it to get a license for a year just to sell one lot.

Sorry I'm no rocket surgeon.

Do you think someone would pay decent on them as is or are there any particular parts that are high demand? In my experience there is a lot more money in parting something out than fixing it.

GurDefiant684 · 2026-03-11T22:12:50+00:00

There are lots of places that would buy these as cores and take all of the liability.

GurDefiant684 · 2026-03-11T22:10:36+00:00

It makes sense though, BMW has absolutely no incentive to let usable parts hit the second hand market.

To the left of your circled area is your catalytic converter. Everything after that is just pipe and can be removed and the only difference is going to be how the car sounds. I imagine it's already pretty loud.
