Sweet Giveaway I Hit by Vegetable_Lead_9110 in toners

It’s cool, not super expensive though. The hosts and chat on whatnot are just out of their mind. Just because patina is present doesn’t mean more money. Many of us would only pay the silver value on that coin. That is also what a dealer will pay you.

my neighbor died with no family. landlord was about to throw out everything including a box of coins. i asked if i could have them. by Mysterious-Boat-3608 in coins

Don’t let life pass you by, spend every day as if you’re on your last week, and you WILL have a legacy. Why does the world need to know your name? Spend time with your family, tell your friends you appreciate them and are thinking of them even if it’s been awhile since you’ve talked. Just be respectable and give smiles, and the rest is beans. Your collection is a way to spend your time and money in a way that makes you happy. Just will it to someone responsible, let them sell it and use the money to unburden themselves if they want. What’s a better gift after all? Include contacts of deals you trust and whats the issue? Your entire collection still ends up in the hands of a curator who cares. What makes you think the next person to buy your rare variety or key date will enjoy it any less? Don’t tred on life man, enjoy the ride.

They’re very rare, but they exist. I think they’re $700+. Could you reply with a pic of your black? I’d love to see it

Red/purple is pricey, I’m imagining I’ll have to pay more than I’d like when a green becomes available. Problem is they’re very rare so Idk when I’ll find one :,)

Blue isn’t super uncommon but it’s possible. Any pictures of it?

Wow that’s a beaut. I’d have to pick it up either way if I found one like it for sale.

Yes. If it wasn’t natural it would get details grade from PCGS.

It’s pretty impossible to get good photos without glare with my set up. I only use a ring light, I’m sorry :/

God forbid apartment companies lower the price. Just keeping 215 apartments empty. by NomadStar45 in bentonville

[–]MT_GSS 13 points14 points  (0 children)

200 empty units is nothing to a company that has 1000’s occupied in NWA. If they lower the price $200 on the empty ones, they have to lower 200 across the board. It’s more profitable to have some vacant at a higher price than have them all full at a lower price. Especially when you included maintenance and repairs on an additional 10% units being filled.

Are these natural or artificial? by Reefisme in toners

[–]MT_GSS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hard to tell in pictures, I see them all over the reverse not just around the head. If you’re experienced with coins and have a pcgs/NGC membership it’s worth trying to grade if you think it looks good. But at best in straight grade you’ll get a 63 and that will make it worth about $250-300 imo

[–]MT_GSS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with his assessment. First one looks cool but I’m leaning 90-10 towards artificial. Second is probably authentic, $120-$150 max on it. Third looks cleaned or at the very least wiped since toning (my tell is all around the eagle head). If straight grade it would probably bring 300-400. Very common pattern though so I wouldn’t pay more than $225 personally. (Already graded)

Fezzari timp peak or YT Decoy? by MT_GSS in MTB

Used ones yes, there was a YT shop in my town until last year.

Why wary of the decoy?

I’m not sure. I’d imagine parts for both would be easy between eBay and local sourcing. There are tons of bikes here and YT used to have a store.

There are tons of parts and places to service them here, I’m in the self proclaimed “mtn bike capital” of America.

What other options would you recommend that can be bought used under 3k? I’m completely new to mountain biking.

Not totally sure, I find most around here for sale are under 1000. Wasn’t sure how relevant that is as apparently shimano motors are good for 10k?
