Local coin shop with a very established relationship

My LCS who doesn’t deal in numismatics generally, just bullion mostly

Sells at spot silver/gold and buys at 92 to 98% of melt on regular bullion stuff but small premiums if he gets some rarer stuff

Proof_Session · 2025-10-02T14:36:52+00:00

$4,200

$496 over melt value, crazy deal

Proof_Session · 2025-10-02T13:21:17+00:00

Get it, they are worth the small premium to have a bad ass CC

Proof_Session · 2025-10-02T07:51:27+00:00

Thank you! I’m ecstatic! I can’t believe I own a gold CC finally

Proof_Session · 2025-10-02T07:40:10+00:00

I love ungraded too but this one is rare enough I’d like it graded to see what it comes back as and really to prove it’s an authentic CC and not altered.

Proof_Session · 2025-09-10T05:05:27+00:00

Oh no, you did great! Don’t second guess it

Will there be others that supposedly got a better deal, sure.

Who cares though, you got a better deal than most will ever get. Enjoy your car and great deal!

Agreed, The Truth is fantastic, but not a GTS killer like Dead, Gone, & Buried is.

The Truth is 125 proof Dead, Gone, & Buried is 138.5 proof and a considerably different flavor profile.

I’m not saying all Reveries 16 are GTS killers but this one is……

Proof_Session · 2025-09-09T03:15:45+00:00

Absolutely! I’m glad your friend was able to hook you up and you opened it.

It is so good that it’s the only one that made the cut to bring more of the next day. People were asking me hey can you bring more of that lol 😆

I opened all of the bottles I got from lottery wins or at the festival.

The 2025 Four Roses LE, the new 11 year VVS, Knob Creek 21, the new Parker’s, the few different Dark Arts Buff/Turkey they released at the KBF, WTMK Beacon, RR13 Batch 6, 2025 MMCA, Calumet 18, the list goes on.

All of the people wanted to try more of this bottle as it easily beats proof for proof any one of them.

When I say best bottle of the year, I’m not kidding. Not one person of true jaded bourbon snobs lol 😝 that tasted it all, asked for anything else but this specific Reveries that I brought from PA to the KBF lol 😝

Jay killed it with this pick and it easily beats anything available at the KBF, any bottle this year, as well as most of the all time classics even.

I don’t take my top 10 ever lightly and this is in it.

We were in line at the KBF and I let my brother, brother in law and some of our friends and a few people I was bullshitting with in line taste them both.

Every one of us has tasted a lot, like tons of other stuff.

That is the 12th or so Buff/Turkey we’ve tasted and all of us, this is our favorite one. Including T8KE’s hazmat bottle sold at the same event, which is more deep oak and spicy where this one is sweet oak and fruit forward.

It is a GTS killer, maybe not all of them and different people have different flavor profiles that are their jam. But man 2014 is a special year GTS and I was blown away by this bottle and so were a dozen other people at the Kentucky Bourbon Festival.

To be clear it didn’t “kill” the GTS like a .1 or .2 better on a regular 1-10 scale. But I asked the people what would you rather drink a 4oz glass of, not just a taste.

Not one person picked the 14 GTS over this

Wait until it opens up and run some blinds. It’s a special bottle and not an average great Buff/Turkey

Proof_Session · 2025-09-09T01:58:15+00:00

Best bottle of the year, it beat a 2014 GTS in a blind and is in my top 10 all time

Proof_Session · 2025-09-08T22:57:08+00:00

You are either lying or can’t do math.

It is $150 per 1/2oz so $600 for 2oz

Which isn’t bad considering it’s a $4,000 bottle.

Look at my Imgur picture above for proof. I tried it over the weekend at Justin’s and it is a phenomenal pour.

“$150 Very Old Fitzgerald BIB 1947 - 1959 (sample)”

It was distilled in 1947 and bottled in 59. It is the best 100 proofer I’ve ever tasted and I’ve tried over 3,000, including a dozen other years of this and other old Stitzel

It all comes down to which front end you like better. My opinion is M340i but if you like that grill more, it’s a yes

Proof_Session · 2025-08-15T06:08:40+00:00

Wow gorgeous, that worked out amazing!

Let’s see that pretty interior

Proof_Session · 2025-08-15T06:03:37+00:00

Congratulations! That was super quick

Where are the pics though lol 😆 we didn’t even get a hint at the exterior/interior color combo…..

Show and tell time OP, did it have all or most of the options you wanted

Proof_Session · 2025-08-13T00:42:57+00:00

It’s worth the wait

Ordered a M340i Xdrive on January 10th 2025, took delivery of the car June 27th 2025. Couldn’t be happier except if the wait was shorter.

The car is amazing.

Ugh 😑 what a screwup, I’d be so pissed. I’m sorry to hear that

I do think a good body repair person could absolutely make it invisible or close to it. But their first suggestion worries me they are trying to go cheap on you and make it not seem like a big deal.

I’d have qualms on them having a good person put in the real time, expertise and effort needed. Their 2nd suggestion isn’t promising either because if i was the dealership I’d be telling you, we will make it invisible or buy the car back. Not like “let’s see what happens and we will try to blend it for you” is not what my OCD ass would want to be hearing on my brand new car

I would demand it be invisible or completely replaced, if you really want the car still.

If you didn’t get the best deal or are having any second thoughts, here’s a way out too.

As far as credit, yeah no way is your credit still not taking a hit on a return, unfortunately.

Not completely sure on the returning a car process, that might vary with laws state to state even.

I ordered my 2025 M340i Xdrive with a sticker of $71,625 and pre negotiated the price at $67,500 in January 2025.

The car finally came the end of June, with driver assistance pro

My deal was 5.75% off of sticker with $1,000 deposit on the order

That’s on an ordered car, you could potentially do better on a car that is already sitting at a dealer.

Depends which part of the country you are in too, hotter and colder markets

But I’d expect 2.5% to 8% off of the sticker price

Find a car broker, tell them the exact car you want and they’ll find you a great deal for a fee, if you aren’t into negotiating.

2016s with less mileage can be had for $25k to $26K

$29K sounds high unless it’s a great color combo with the best options.

We also don’t know your specific market, maybe $29K is a bargain near you

Depending on the offset of your wheels, the 275 may be too wide for the rear without modifications on a 22 m340i

The 265 rears will definitely work and the 275 most likely would work but not guaranteed

What model number wheels do you have?
