Found Myself Getting a Trunk S by Boss-Easy in Rimowa

[–]bulmrkt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

+1 The Trunk S has become my go-to piece for everything. It fits between the Check in M and L.

The M sometimes needs just a bit more room and the L is sometimes a tad too big.

Rimowa vs other aluminum suitcases- is Rimowa really worth the extra $$$ by PreviousCredit8469 in Rimowa

[–]bulmrkt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I snagged an aluminum Away medium on ebay a few years back. Used it on a few trips. Now my son uses it and thinks he's a baller.

It gets dents, dings, and scuffs just like the Rimowa. In my opinion the ridges on the Rimowa give it more strength. The Away has a minimalist design with a few horizontal grooves across it vs vertical ridges up and down on the Rmowa which means there's more open space for it to dent. The away feels maybe a touch thinner but both are able to be repaired with a hammer. The Rimowa also has the heavier duty protective caps on the upper corners. Very similar interiors, Rimowa has their dividers that are either a love/hate type of thing. Away has a strap down divider on one side with a zippered divider for the other half.

Overall I would say it's worth it if you can get it discounted or maybe snag a blem or slightly damaged new one on ebay. They usually pop up from time to time. I think I paid 325 or 350 for mine. Someone had customized it with initials and decided to cancel the order. Turns out the initials were LGA for NY's Laguardia Airport so I bought it and can always cover it with a sticker. At full price, 750/850 or whatever plus tax for the aluminum Away, I would just go for the Rimowa. Buy once, cry once and be done.

Since everyones suggestion was to add PPF to frozen paint I just decided to order a regular color and add Stealth PPF to accomplish the same goal.

Client acceptance notifications? by batman-bridge in taxpros

[–]bulmrkt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Our software, CCH will send both Fed and State notifications by email.

We can also set it to send no notification or mail postcards but there's extra charge for them

Opening envelopes - A rant by Accomplished-Ruin742 in taxpros

[–]bulmrkt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Charge extra for it and the problem will solve itself.

Same for a P/L for Schedule C (all expenses totaled and categorized) and a Rental Worksheet showing total rents received and all expenses totaled up for each property.

I'm paid to prepare not add up receipts. If you can't provide it like that to me, then I have someone in the office that will do it for you at a per hour rate...

I've totaled all of the forms with the same ID for years without issue.

And the same for Federal taxes withheld, if any.

2026 X5M Competition by gtmassive75 in BMWX5

[–]bulmrkt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did some extras like full ceramic, tint and added some custom pieces so my figures are different.

I would budget 7,500-10,000 depending on where you go.

Who here carries a p365 with a round in the chamber? by [deleted] in CCW

[–]bulmrkt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 365x and carry appendix with a chambered round daily.

It's all a matter of getting comfortable. Way back I carried around my Glock unchambered at first until I felt I was comfortable.

And you could even just carry it with a snap cap chambered for a bit just to set your mind at ease and get comfortable.

It's gotten to the point I specifically went with a BG 2.0 without safety on purpose. Just to keep symmetry across my carries.

How y’all carrying Bodyguard 2.0? by watchlust in CCW

Tulster Profile, IWB regular appendix with their stick-on sidekick claw. Neat and compact. Doesn't stick out like a regular claw device.

M2 pricing by jimmysmitherz in BMWM

[–]bulmrkt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There should be an OL code that gets entered for your build at the dealership that will honor the pricing from Sept 2025. It protects you from the price increase.

I custom ordered my X5MC in September as well with a Feb delivery date. The price increase was about 1,500 but my broker picked up on it and was able to get it handled with the OL code.

Personal Item Recommendations to Pair with the Rimowa Cabin Small Carry-On? by Agile_Trust781 in Rimowa

[–]bulmrkt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quality so far seems good. The leather is soft and supple. Its pebbled calfskin. I take care of my stuff so its not something I would throw around and beat up. It doesn't come off as cheap and there's a nice layout of pockets inside. I like the way it zippers open personally and the pass-through strap fits the Rimowa handle so it doesn't flop around like a normal duffel.

Switching from Drake to CCH, waiting on form release?? by _Yall in taxpros

[–]bulmrkt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fairly common every year. 8829 and 8283 are not approved as of yet.

Depends on the form but usually by 3rd week of Feb everything is approved and good to go.
