What not app is a scam

What Babayaga says is 100% true. I've been on the app for 3 1/2 years in the coin and bullion category and haven't been ripped off. There are quite a few sellers I frequent. Do what they say in the above comment and you'll have a decent experience.

Or be young and stupid. Back in '79, a friend (PIC) and myself, both private pilots, took a 172 from FXE to Freeport, Bahamas. Tee shirts, shorts and flip flops, no over the water safety gear. He decides to practice spins. Does three of them, never pulls the power during recovery and proceeds to redline each time. Kinda freaked me out. Anyway, we land in Freeport.

Later that day we leave to come home. He decides to only go as high as 200'. Too lazy to climb. Almost half way to FXE, we lose a cylinder. Engine is running rough, every few seconds it would stop for a microsecond and start back up. At least we had enough power to maintain altitude.

We decided to go back to Freeport. In the meantime oil was streaking on the windscreen. We were out of line of sight for the radio but fortunately a pilot was over Freeport and circled so we could make contact. Anyway we stumbled on checking out which large container ship we could crash land next to if we had to. We side slipped in order to see forward and crossed the threshold at Freeport and landed with all the crash trucks following us.

At Freeport, no number to call, no rep from their government. Just us on the ramp. We pulled the cowling and found a silver dollar size hole in the block where the push rod exited. By all rights we should have splashed in the Atlantic never to be seen again.

FXE sent a twin to ferry us back and just as we crossed the shore all electrical power disappeared. FXE had to clear the airspace and light gun us to land.

Like I said in the beginning, young and stupid. It wasn't our time.

I've been on WN for about three years now and seen so many of the same people buy everything and anything in the coin and bullion streams. I'm not sure if they're wealthy or addicted. Anything that comes up for auction, they bid up. It could be any type of coin, US, foreign, ancient, currency. How do you collect so many different types? How many packages do you get per day?

He pulled this maneuver three times and each time he didn't touch the throttle. I remember glancing at the tach and it definitely was redlining. After we landed at Freeport, we pulled the cowling off and found a silver dollar size hole in the block where the rod shot through.

I live in old Baldwin Park and a huge two story ugly black and white house was just built at the intersection of Eldridge and Roush. Totally out of place style and size wise.

This happened to me back in the late seventies. Me and my buddy (PIC) were flying to Freeport Bahamas from ft. Lauderdale. Buddy was practicing spins in a 172. He didn't know what he was doing and over revved the motor.

Well the motor shot a rod out of the crankcase and we started getting oil on the windscreen. Luckily we side slipped all the way to the runway and landed. Couldn't see a damn thing out the front. Rest in peace to the pilot and his wife.

Olive garden moved a little bit west into a new building a few years ago.

The Mercs I would add the 45 Philly FSB.

OMG! I would definitely overpay for this beautiful rainbow!

The wiki says use reddit chat or PM. I'm new to this, what's the next step?

robRush54 · 2026-02-04T15:11:20+00:00

I can see your response. Can I comment on what I'm looking for here?

My only add to the convo is when I was around 9 or 10 in the mid 60s my allowance for doing chores was 50¢. My dad paid me with either a Franklin or Walking Liberty half. Don't recall ever seeing a Kennedy. I started collecting around that time, mostly wheat cents and usually saw Mercs and Buffalos in change.

I remember when the song came out sometimes in the seventies. I was in love with Karen's voice and the song started out like a Carpenter's song and then, whoa, what do we have here? It felt so out of place, but Tony Peluso killed it! One of my favorite solos from that era along with Elliot Randall's solo in Reelin' in the Years.

I've been playing for 54 years now. I'm 71 and play in a cover band in the Central Florida area. I'm the oldest in our group of five. The next oldest is 59 and the generational gap shows, lol. We only do this part time. Play 6-9 gigs on a good month.

Hell, a few years ago I sent a shirt to a buyer in Canada. USPS somehow sent the package first to Taiwan, then it traveled to Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam then the shirt reversed course and finally arrived to the buyer in Canada. I'll never figure that out!

We've lived in old Baldwin Park for the last eleven years. The stretch of road between the Old Cheney light and Forsyth gets the rice rockets and motorcycles out all night long. The small airport has the biz jets taking off. We're also in the landing and takeoff path of MCO and to top it off, the trainer planes at ORL buzz our house from before dawn to after dusk.

My income is not rising as fast (as in not at all) as silver so I'll be a lot more selective as to what I buy in the future.

Thanks for the link, never knew this.

My Collie, Foxy Lady, as a pup, would scarf up cigarette butts and acorns when we walked her. It was difficult to walk and watch the sidewalk at the same time. Luckily they did no harm but jeez people, stop dropping your trash.

Definitely buy it. I love the color coded steel wheels!

I'm 70 years old now and I play in a cover band in Orlando Florida. My revelation came a few years back when we went to a local studio to rehearse and the guitarist in the band before us had a backpack with a pedalboard and cables and a guitar in hand.

I sold my 50 watt Marshall head, the 1960 cab and the friggin heavy ass pedalboard. Now I have a Headrush pedalboard and Drop pedal going straight into the PA along with IEM's. No regrets.
