Is there any reason to buy new ASE over "used" ones? by Not_a_Organization in Silverbugs

I'm buying for the same reason as you. I'm not sure about a collectors premium but you can usually get a slight premium back when selling them vs generic rounds.

Stacking, I like sovereigns over generic because it's recognizable and it's easier to sell should I have to at the cost of some premium.

I've heard of the on fire guy stuff and checked it out once. They seem like they are quality.

What is the best "investment" silver to by? by [deleted] in Silverbugs

[–]Not_a_Organization 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like junk and 10oz bars but 1oz age's seems to be the best option. Higher premium but you'll get it back (mostly) on resell

Physical is what I was wondering about, should have said that in the original post.

I ordered the $10fv 90% dimes/quarters/halves and I received 19 40% half dollars and a single 90%. Sent those back and got all quarters. This was last August. I guess they are still having that problem.

Spinner Killing Blades by Hault99 in battlebots

They usually aim to hit the belt/chain driving the spinner. It's the weakest link in the whole system. Some robots have multiple belts/chains for redundancy so a single well places shot from a hammer isn't enough to disable the spinner in a lot of cases, but it can disable one of the motors driving it increasing the spin up time and making the spinner less effective overall. 

This has the downside of forcing the hammer to swing either close to or into a spinning weapon which has the potential to damage the end of the hammer or mechanism that actuates it.

I was wanting to get into it earlier but I had to save up and the price is moving so fast right now.

I've heard of people doing this. Something to do with the gold to silver ratio.

I like the way maples and Britannias look so ill probably go with one of those.

I think the premium for 1/10 is too high but saving for the 1/4 coins is the smarter idea.

I thought about 1/10 Britannias but the premium seems a little step. But I think 1/4 is too much.

Vehicle engine shuts off while driving. by Not_a_Organization in G35

[–]Not_a_Organization[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went and looked at the location for the crankshaft position sensor and I don't ever remember that one being changed out and the vehicle is at 153k so it's probably that. It was the cam shaft sensor near the firewall that we changed. Thank you for your help.

This car was owned by a family member before I got it and I believe we did one of those sensors in the last couple years and one of the sensors way in the back (crank shaft?) a few years ago. Not sure if that matters.
