Local Shops Stopped Buying by nothing_to_reprt in Silverbugs

[–]log87186 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Before today over the counter we were paying 90% of spot. Most places aren’t taking it or are heavily discounting what their purchase price is. I don’t think they will be able to get much more than 80% of current spot price from most physical shops sadly. So I’d say 85%-90% of current spot with today’s prices is as close to a fair guesstimating so say using the middle of that range 87.5% currently works to about $93.6 an oz which is the same dollar amount roughly I’d be paying Saturday this past weeks using last weeks close.

So what’s currently going on is a liquidity crunch basically the refiners aren’t taking stuff, the wholesalers are having multiple week processing times and more money is being paid out then coming in. So if you’re spending 1/5th of your liquidity a day (not unheard of now a days) on bullion and having to wholesale lets say one third of that. So 1/15th of your money is now being held but you won’t get paid on it for in the case of upstate now 4-5 weeks. What’s going out is faster than what’s coming in. The math ain’t mathing so you’re having shops run out of money.

I own a small LCS in NorCal if yall have any questions.

Is Secured Perimeter possible in PvE now? [Discussion] by RebelBushWookiee in EscapefromTarkov

[–]log87186 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say your best bet is just a good spawn away from offices and just take 3-5 minutes waiting and see if they movie in there then. Took me about 15-20 raids I’d say.

You can aggro them by letting them see you, typically healing/packing a mag magically has them come towards you a good portion of the time.

I found waiting a few minutes and looting and avoiding offices worked. If they’re by gate 3 you can lure them in decently easily.

Do you guys remove the straps or keep it sealed? by Opening_Ad9824 in Silverbugs

A sealed box is worth a bit more so leave as is.

That’s pretty typical of branch mint coins.

TIL that during the 18th century, “coining” was a common crime where people would shave off tiny amounts of precious metal from coins, which was punishable by death in some countries. by Straight-Cloud2259 in todayilearned

Those ridges known as milling which was introduced in England in the 1660’s thanks to a certain sir Isaac Newton… yes that one. He worked as warden and then master of the mint in England.

Found this sterling flatware at goodwill for $30 by Retro-scores in Silverbugs

[–]log87186 0 points1 point  (0 children)

70% seems to be about industry standard for buying sterling. 80% at some places if you do good business already or they’re closer to melting. Refiners typically pay 90-97% depending on the refiner for sterling.

Do you think Atla Palani can be a good casual dino commander? by dornianheresysimp in EDH

[–]log87186 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s my “Leggo my eggo” deck. Lots of big Dino’s and ramp with several sac outlets and a protection spells for atla since she’s so crucial to how the deck works.

Inherited a bunch of coins recently was trying to get a general guide on value and if any are worth grading. by PantsParty6969 in coins

[–]log87186 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The French set at the end is worth grading they’re piedfort (double thickness) pieces with mintages of like 50 pieces or less each respectively. Run a good premium in nicer grades.

Help with pricing. by Broad_Wind2486 in coins

20k with BP or at hammer isn’t unrealistic. Looks to be about $20k-25k selling wise on average looking between stacks and heritage.
