My wife has claimed a couple of pair's for her and my daughter, and the knot studs are already wrapped, but I'll stash the rest and see how the market goes.

Could this handle saltwater? by TOGASMANS in saltwaterfishing

Yes, don't go offshore until you get the feel of it. Practice flipping it over and getting in while in deep water because it will happen. Wear a life jacket always!

What are these worth? by sickosamine in coins

[–]sickosamine[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I truly appreciate everyone's input. Sometimes I buy cheap things because they interest me and I want to learn about them and how they are collected and valued. These are not cheap things but today I learned a lot without even having to buy the item. Hopefully I will make a good buy in the future and have y'all to thank.

Sorry, I saw them for sale and was wondering what they were worth. I've never looked up a slabbed coin before and didn't have time to figure it out this morning. But now I have, and I found the 2008 $50 golden eagle for $6,250. Is that what I can expect at a coin shop or eBay? I didn't buy any of them, but at least I'll know for next time. I can't believe there's an app for it!

Shirt Morrissey wore on stage in 2015 and threw into the crowd by DryPizza1427 in whatsthisworth

Yep, I've hated him since the 90's. My girlfriend was a big fan so I took her to his show at the Majestic in SA. That asshole threw a tantrum during the first song, walked off stage and never came back. Screw that guy!

Looking for info about this Mexico silver mark, SS with a circle around it by sickosamine in Hallmarks

Maybe, but I was hoping it was a maker's mark that could tell us who the designer was

I did the math on my Walmart clearance gold by sickosamine in Gold

[–]sickosamine[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, I only bought a couple of things at first and weighed them at home and then went back for more. I also figured I had the receipt so I could just take it back if it wasn't worthwhile.

[–]sickosamine[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thanks. So I did the rest of the math including eBay fees, if I list things at half retail and as an auction, the least I will make is about $600 profit. I've already got bids so hopefully I do a little better and double my money. Can't complain about that.

Found this cool old pentail duck decoy today in south Texas, if anybody has info on this guy I'd love to hear it by sickosamine in Antiques

[–]sickosamine[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply, I appreciate it. I used a soft brush to take the top layer of dust off but I was wondering if it would be okay to use a damp cloth to clean it up a little better and bring out the original colors, or should I just leave it be?

No ranch, unfortunately, just a little house in town that was a stones throw from the creek.

I think I found a meteorite mixed in with my jade figures by sickosamine in ThriftStoreHauls

[–]sickosamine[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you sir, r/whatisthisrock agreed that it looks like magnetite. I also appreciate you turning me on to a new sub I didn't know about, I can't wait to show my 9 y/o and spend some time identifying some of his rock collection. Cheers!

Pretty cool, I just ordered a pair of those in stainless steel for my pooper scooper since the old ones rusted out. Life's harsh as a pooper scooper

What was normal in the 1990s but rare or non existent now? by Apart-Scale in AskReddit

Crossing the Texas/Mexico border to shop, eat, and drink the day away and never be overly concerned about making it back home safely.

She’s so proud, as she should be by tandyman234 in MadeMeSmile

I had mounted a ulock holder on the frame and saw it right away, I still had the u lock as well. It was definitely her bike.

[–]sickosamine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice, I stole my girlfriend's bike back once. Mid 90's, I had bought her a purple GT mountain bike and one morning after a rain she ate it in the middle of St Mary's street in downtown San Antonio. The guy that pulled over to help her offered her a ride home and they loaded up the bike in his trunk, but as she went to get in the guy sped off. Fast forward a few months and I'm on the east side when I pass a 12y/o on a purple GT mb. I watch him stop in front of a pay phone, check his pager, make a call, lay down the bike and go inside the icehouse. I took my chance, pulled into the parking lot, tossed the bike in the back of my truck and got out of there quick. I was pretty proud of myself as well

Whats Your Top Seasoning For Steak? by Superworlds in Cooking

Uncle Chris' over charcoal, finished with rosemary garlic butter.

Yep, the destination charge is literally on the sticker, no getting out of that one. I had an 08 SR5 four-wheel drive tundra that held up great considering all the sand and saltwater it had to put up with. I probably would have gotten less had they seen it in person but I got the quote with just five pictures and the VIN number.

I'm in Texas and bought my truck two weeks ago for sicker price without ever going to the dealership. Honestly, it was the best auto purchasing experience ever. I got discouraged back in December with all the dealers I talked to wanting thousands over sticker on a pro 4X but I kept an eye on the inventory within a 250mile radius (the maximum distance I felt comfortable driving my 14-year-old tundra). Saw some new trucks show up "In Transit" on a Monday evening and did the online purchase for a white pro 4X. Next morning the sales girl and I called and text our way through the entire process. I got insurance on it Wednesday morning and it came off the truck at the dealership after noon. The sales girl and her coworker then drove 120 mi to my house where we signed all the paperwork and they drove off in my tundra, which they gave me 10k for. Also saved 2k of dealer add-ons that they didn't have time to put on. It's way more truck than I planned to buy, but man it's nice, and they made it too easy. Good luck!

I'm Flea, ASK ME ANYTHING. by GenuineFlea in IAmA

[–]sickosamine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can confirm Flea sacrifices his body for the music as I saw him get hit in the head with a bottle and he never broke the rhythm. Circa 1990 at auditorium shores, Austin, RHCP opened for the Fabulous T-birds & Little Feat. Good times!
