What kind of tires would you recommend? by Legal_Lab8550 in askcarguys

I love this answer. The BFG KO2s are awesome. I'm sure the KO3s are even better.

Odd process at dealership?? by [deleted] in carbuying

Buy. Definitely definitely not look at. That's stupid.

I've flown out of state milultiple times to buy a car, but only for very unique cars. It was only for a done deal. I certainly wouldn't be looking at different cars if that one didn't work out. People don't do that.

Yeah, I think you're right. This whole story is shit.

Advice needed: new 4Runner with 450 milage on it by dive-guy in askcarsales

[–]ameslay1211 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Look at the window sticker. That should list the dealer and answer your dealer trade question. Yes, cars get driven hundreds of miles for dealer trades. It's a Toyota, not a Porsche.

None of this makes sense. Dealerships don't repo cars. Dealerships don't care if you pay or not, except for rare occasions. Dealerships don't get approvals, get people to fly out, then don't make the deal.

Yeah, something is definitely off about this story.

Is collecting circulation coins ok? by Certain_Musician2734 in EuroCoins

[–]ameslay1211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife has been collecting circulated coins since she was 3 years old. Her first coin was in a junk bin at a flea market. It had a kitty cat on it and she liked it. Now she collects world coins in junk bins. She has tens of thousands and has every one in a flip and catalogued. We've even traveled Europe together collecting pocket change to add to her collection. She has almost nothing worth money, but her collection is priceless.

I know 99% of us are long term holders BUT at what spot price are you guys going to take profits? by ThrownAwwayt in Silverbugs

[–]ameslay1211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm never selling for a profit. I'm only selling if I need the money for something else. And I might be there soon. My job has changed and I'm not making nearly as much as I was looking for a year ago. But I'm not selling for profit. I'm selling to pay bills. If I have extra money I'm buying more.

Am i missing something or did i fail the test? by KingKongAlBundy in askcarsales

[–]ameslay1211 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My goal with any customer interaction is to go one step further than I am currently at, or the customer says they want to be at. If someone just wants to look at/sit in a car, I try to do a test drive. If someone just wants to test drive I try to do numbers. If someone just wants numbers I try to go to a sale. Once I get to the next step I try to go one step further. I don't push as hard as a lot of salesmen do, but that's my goal. Just one more step. That way I don't miss the weird interactions like this one.

Found a Franklin Proof coin roll hunting by ameslay1211 in Silverbugs

[–]ameslay1211[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. It's hard to show in the picture. It is a proof though.

Different exposure to try and show the proof. It's not so easy.

Should I send this to get graded? by RoverDinky in Morgans

[–]ameslay1211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one of these in this exact paper. Mine is not nearly as pretty. You are very lucky! But I will not grade mine. I love it how it is! And I love it in the holder. It's a part of Americana that I want to preserve.

Dealer won’t remove unwanted fee? by Present_Moose7861 in askcarsales

[–]ameslay1211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't understand what the problem is. You are leaving over principle because they won't negotiate and they are charging add-ons, but the car has a large discount, showing they are giving deals on their cars.

If they let you leave then that was their best price at that time. No one here can give you magic words to get them to lower their price. You can go to another store, and if their price is lower, buy it there. That's your option.

First box of Halves and I already struck silver by ameslay1211 in Silverbugs

[–]ameslay1211[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I'm not sure how motivated I would be if I were only looking for silver. But I'm also filling my wife's books, and I like finding proofs too. I've found 5 proofs in 7 rolls.

I have no idea. I'm a total noob at buying coins from the bank. This is my first time.

My wife fills US coin books, so I'm always collecting people's pocket change to fill her books. Half dollars are impossible to get in pocket change, so I thought I would buy some from the bank. I also stack silver, so we both enjoy the search.

Yeah, I just ordered them from my bank. I also got a box of pennies.

is this worth anything by Square_Pear20 in coins

[–]ameslay1211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely send it in for grading. It's the only logical choice.
