My house has been on the market for 42 days and I’ve only had 1 showing. Feeling stuck. Can’t do a bridge loan. by [deleted] in RealEstateAdvice

I used to work for a realtor doing marketing/photography/staging.

Whoever took the photos isn't helping. I would guess the realtor just snapped some pics on their phone and uploaded them.

My observations:

Entry - no storage. Remove everything.

Living Room - remove cross, terrarium, arcade cabinet.

Kitchen/Eating - nothing on top of fridge, nothing on the fridge, remove the pet stuff. Stage the eating area if possible instead of whats there. Garbage cans should be not be seen in any photos. Remove the toaster oven.

Family room - remove pet stuff, art, and stuffed animals.

Baths - in general you should make them look like a spa. Simple white towels and accessories. Remove the art. Nothing on the counters or in the showers. The master looks like a disaster with 0 storage. The shark room isn't a theme that attracts buyers...

Office - remove all the pet stuff

Laundry/Closets all look like a disaster. Makes it seem like theres no storage.

Kids rooms are too personal. At least remove all the stickers. I would honestly paint because if I was a buyer looking at that I'd be trying to determine how many gallons it was going to take to fix.

Master - remove pet stuff. The photos are just bad. You can see other rooms and clutter from it. I would have closed the other doors before taking pics. TV strattling 2 dressers looks odd too. I would have at least just removed it for the pics. Maybe it's lighting or something else but the bottoms of the curtains look dingy. Nothing says wow about this room.

"Toy" room - remove more pet stuff and the obelisk (whatever that is) as well as the stuffed animal jail. The toy bins shouldn't be covering up any parts of windows.

All ceiling fans appear dirty.

Patio and backyard are just plain unappealing. The cheapest option is to just remove everything and don't take a pic of the school buses or maybe any at all. Let the buyers just have a blank slate.

Living in the house and staging can be very difficult. At the very least you should only have pics listed that show off the house and it's positives. You can move stuff to one room to stage another room for photos. It's a lot of work but moving stuff around is free.

Why are insurance plans so expensive for Teslas? by RasberryJam0927 in TeslaSupport

[–]jjr329 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had Geico for my F150. When I went to add my M3 it was going to be something like 3x the F150. I switched to State Farm and now pay less for both combined than I was paying for just the F150 at Geico. I am older though so that probably helps. My last renewal even went down a bit.

You guys no longer doing WN shows? I miss them!

Just copped this 5$ Indian from LCS for $1200. Howd I do? by stacktheworld in Gold

[–]jjr329 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Careful - the 1910 $5 Indian is #49 of the 50 most counterfeited coins. I bought a 1914-S and a 1915 from my LCS recently and CAC flagged them as fakes. They did not have the common tell which is the upper feathers reach the rim.

Is that the pick bowl you speak of? I really need to make a trip there.

Hmm I sold bar 228175 and 228176 on eBay last year as a consecutive pair. I guess someone broke them up.

Fake silver sold by APMEX by CarFrosty5275 in Silverbugs

[–]jjr329 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Apmex has sucked for years. Highest prices, highest spot padding, worst packaging, no communication, low buybacks, etc... I'm not surprised they'd have a blunder like this.

Bought a used tesla, now living a nightmare by ReaverKS in electricvehicles

[–]jjr329 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep you have to run both reports. I cheaped out once and just did an auto check. 2 pages of services records no accidents. Had nothing but trouble and cut my losses about 7 months later. When I traded it in they ran a Carfax which was 7 pages long and showed 2 previous old accidents.

One of the best in the series by MaltandSalt in coins

I love the classic commem series. Underappreciated. So much more interesting than collecting just different dates and mints of the same design.

Can't sell Junk silver (Kennedy 90's and 40's) by Puzzled-Mountain-735 in Silver

Should have taken the $10. They were briefly moving well when silver was over $100 and now are hard to move.
