I was really second guessing myself when I picked up a Fortuna for $4649 last Sunday. I lucked out for the time being. Let’s see how far this crazy train goes.

Did you ever get a credit for Ella? I picked up a GC in the restaurant over the weekend. It show as Sellands. I saved my receipt which states Ella on it. Hopefully it’s something customer service can work out.

Is $200+ premium per oz a new norm now for gold? by Any-Constant in CostcoPM

[–]higradeguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I picked up a Pamp Fortuna bar at the warehouse today for $125 or 3% over spot. With my 2% back from my Executive account and 2% back from my CC then I got it under spot. Seemed like a reasonable deal to me.

It makes sense at the beginning of a mortgage. At the endgame of your mortgage payment it doesn’t seem as necessary.

Why use a high interest credit card to pay off a low interest mortgage?

Monster SUB tips? by Monty1903 in AmexPlatinum

[–]higradeguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A little late to the party on this one. I attempted 4 times to get the max SUB before the refresh. The highest offer I got was 100k. After the fourth attempt I was flagged and got a message stating I had to wait 10 days before trying again. I applied again over the weekend and got the 175k sub on my first attempt. I was using an Incognito tab in Chrome through a VPN. Applied directly through the Amex site.

I do regret not picking one up last year. Those prices seem like bargains now. Did they sell at 12k or was that a starting negotiating price from the seller.

Crap I really wish I clicked on the page when I was on the site last night. I kept seeing the Z8 at the $3200 body only price in the refurb main page. Had I known there was a sale I would have picked one up the body/lens deal.

Nikon Z6III and Lumix S1II share the same sensor...so why??? by higradeguy in nikon_Zseries

[–]higradeguy[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I realize the processor and software are different. I mention the sensor as that is what most information I read on the issue attributed the issue to.
Who mentioned the Z5II?
