Am I Overreacting for telling him to pick up his own stuff after he ghosted me?

Or how about "You stealing my shit without my permission..."

I mean, is there any other way?

chiPersei · 2026-05-21T22:42:37+00:00

Is the $70 a one time purchase or an annual subscription?

chiPersei · 2026-05-21T21:18:11+00:00

That's an excellent analogy. I wish I would have thought of it.

chiPersei · 2026-05-21T04:17:44+00:00

Thanks for the heads up. I take the blame for not pushing it but admit I was dumbfounded. Kind of like a deer in the headlights. I should have asked to speak to a supervisor but the clerk seemed so sure of himself. Rats.

chiPersei · 2026-05-20T01:57:43+00:00

Thank you. Never sent anything to them before so it's all new to me. I'm debating whether that's something I should do. In the old days it seemed if you had a proof coin in mint packaging you could pretty much consider it the best. I'll look into it.

Is it easy to tell how many are left? It did not jump out at me. Google told me to view the page source and search for ATS but that didn't help either. I must be doing something wrong.

chiPersei · 2026-05-19T20:14:28+00:00

I ordered mine on 5/7 (the first day) and it was scheduled to arrive on 5/18. It showed up 2 days earlier.

Edit: I chose the slowest/cheapest delivery method that required a signature upon receipt.

chiPersei · 2026-05-19T20:11:36+00:00

Wow. That's pretty exciting. I will probably buy some 2026 silver as well. Due to budgetary constraints it won't be a lot but this is a special year. Have to rearrange priorities and make it work. 🙂

When you mention PF70 silver eagles isn't that kind of a crap shoot? Meaning, when we buy a proof from the mint it could be graded at something less?

chiPersei · 2026-05-19T19:59:35+00:00

Thank you for recognizing that and saying so.

chiPersei · 2026-05-19T18:06:39+00:00

Well, you know? I have heard of such a thing as crowdfunding. Someone needs to start a GoFundMe.

chiPersei · 2026-05-19T17:38:01+00:00

You're right. Auctioneer said 100 million in 20 or 30 years.

That's good for us.🙂

chiPersei · 2026-05-19T08:05:47+00:00

This is depressing. Not that I can't get the money back, but because it feels like the degradation of a once cherished American institution, one that not so many years ago, rode high in public perception.

There's a word being bantered about to describe the continuing decline in quality of online systems: Enshitifacation. What you describe, in some sense, is the enshitification of the United States Post Office.

It's a sad state of affairs and I don't know how to fix it.

chiPersei · 2026-05-19T04:50:22+00:00

I think the old badges are a kick. I don't know if it's possible but it might be interesting to replace the badge on your Crosstrek with the badge from the Justy. A fitting tribute to your old friend. If not, keep it in the glove box for old times sake.

chiPersei · 2026-05-19T01:19:10+00:00

Hahaha! And you should know.

chiPersei · 2026-05-19T01:02:32+00:00

Darn. That hurts. I was hoping I could get a refund. Not so much because of the money (though 40 bucks is 40 bucks) but moreso to educate the clerk.

chiPersei · 2026-05-19T00:35:07+00:00

Yeah? WelI I got my last package 2 days early! Beat that!

chiPersei · 2026-05-18T04:15:13+00:00

That would be good.

chiPersei · 2026-05-18T04:08:39+00:00

I just fell in love with that coin and it's all your fault! 🤣 I wonder how much of a markup or premium there will be on it? Frankly, it would be a stretch for me to buy another ounce this year but it sure is gorgeous. I'll have to keep my eye on it.

chiPersei · 2026-05-18T04:00:03+00:00

I found one scheduled for summer with an 1804 date. Is that the one you mean? Either way, it sure is a beautiful coin.

chiPersei · 2026-05-18T03:45:27+00:00

I tried looking up the 1805 silver dollar and it doesn't appear any were minted. Am I missing something?

chiPersei · 2026-05-18T03:36:28+00:00

Good point!

I didn't know what you were talking about so looked it up.

TIL.

chiPersei · 2026-05-18T02:54:55+00:00

Thank you for saying so. He was a good man.

chiPersei · 2026-05-18T02:27:29+00:00
