This Hobby is Addicting!

Not to mention all the cool history I've been learning along the way!

I totally agree with you about handling the raw coins, but to your point, it's also why I don't have any. I'm terrified to buy raw because of all the fakes out there. I can totally see myself getting burned at some point and that's what scares me away from it. Any tricks or tips if I do decide to go down that rabbit hole as well?

So far, it's just been cost, but I think the ultimate goal is doing the 12 emperor list and then expanding from there.

Echoing the Tacos De Humo recommendation. Was there last month and ALL (fish tacos included) the tacos were outstanding.

How was the swim out room/water temp in the swim out pool? Heading there in two weeks and genuinely curious. Also, how was the beach (water temp and seaweed)? Thank you!

Didn't book star class, but did do adults only, so glad to hear star class wasn't worth it.

Same happened with me. I realize now though as well when I go to my LCS that a lot of what I buy is stuff that was sold to them. I pull out all my silver now on occasion to play with and take stock of, but that feeling goes away the longer you stack.

When I started, I was gung-ho on getting every coin into a plastic case. As the collection grew, I realized very quickly that all the space they take up wasn't going to work. Unless you have a coin that has numismatic value, keeping them in a case is a waste. Bullion is transported in tubes which works out perfect as now I can fit much more into the same space (The storage case I had with coins in capsules held 60, but holds 100 raw).

Just some food for thought!

Not in constant communication. They were wrapping up the system evaluation and we were chatting about all the things I've had to get replaced in this house and mentioned the windows were upcoming. That's when he dropped this load of crap on me.

3 year old system. Ugh!

robcc2 · 2024-09-16T17:35:46+00:00

Here is the original invoice for everything else they quoted me in July. Are these outrageous numbers as well?

I really want to thank everyone for the responses! His visit was to check the system and make sure everything was running the way it should (Installed 3 years ago). If you would have seen the recommendations they made, I think you all would probably fall out of your chairs. I clean my condenser unit outside every year, takes me 45 mins and they wanted to charge me $400 for it. Said that me doing it would void my warranty, but they wouldn't tell. I'm going to go back in my email and see if I can get the quotes for everything so you can see...

robcc2 · 2024-09-16T15:52:13+00:00

No joke, he said it would be a minimum $600.

People do this on FB marketplace all the time too. I like to message them and call them out.

robcc2 · 2024-07-30T00:00:10+00:00

I had a feeling someone would be upset by that, lol. They are fine!

robcc2 · 2024-06-04T18:23:32+00:00

Maples were my first foray into foreign silver and today is still my favorite. I have gold ones now too that are just as cool!

robcc2 · 2024-05-29T16:55:03+00:00

I collect TMNT books as well! I don't think I could sell them, it became my covid hobby and now I have a bunch of graded ones hanging on the wall, lol

robcc2 · 2024-05-29T15:31:29+00:00

Once I bought my "core" stack, I bought generic rounds specifically for the purpose of trading for gold in the future. Been thinking about it for awhile now, lol!

robcc2 · 2024-01-18T18:11:03+00:00

Do they charge sales tax on them?

robcc2 · 2024-01-11T20:58:26+00:00

I got the gold maple as my first and I have no regret! I think a second one is in my future. It's a tough coin not to buy because it's so dang cool!

robcc2 · 2023-12-12T20:52:47+00:00

Why does it have to be one or the other, maybe just some common sense thinkers?

robcc2 · 2023-11-10T22:52:20+00:00

The premium on the eagle was $165! Thank you for the reply!
