  1. @Goredho just checked American Gold Eagle buy-back at a dealer who's kind of middle of the road. About 80 under spot. I saw similar at another one when gold first went over $2,000. Used to be an AGE would never sell for under spot, but used to be the numbers didn't shoot up like now. The best guy here for selling would probably be $50 better per coin, but you have to call him on a phone, and talk, like it's 1952. This is the variation where I live. Who knows, maybe you can find somebody who has a buyer on the other line, and you can do better.
  2. Call every coin shop within a comfortable drive, go to the one that offers the best price. Transaction should take about 5 minutes, cash or check. Others will be more versed in capital gains taxes. I think some states might be about to do away with it on precious metals, I'd ask the dealer.
  3. Good analysis, no mention of Pookie or Eyeball.
  4. Libertads have gone through the roof on premiums. I used to get them for the same premiums as ASEs and silver Maples, but no more. The prices you quote seem middle of the road, they were cool to lower the rate on the gold. Last time I sold silver I got about a dollar under spot for a lot of generic at the guy with the best prices in town. I see on the second-best-prices guy's website today that he's offering a dollar over spot for uncirc. silver Eagles, no info on others. But that's today. Back when you sold, he might have been the same as the guys you sold to. I wouldn't send metal through the mail to Apmex if I had local places to sell to. Not that I don't trust them, just that it'd be more work. Maybe I'd do it if I didn't want local riffraff to spot me walking into a brick and mortar shop with a box, then leaving without it.
  5. After a month+ on Welireg, it doesn't cause diarrhea (yet,) but it causes joint aches in shoulders, hips, ankles, etc. Or maybe that's being old. Went from being fried death a couple weeks ago to doing a long show yesterday with good energy. Greed heals a body.
  6. First Halloween dating the Future Mrs. Canecutter, I distinctly remember her dressed up as Joan Jett leading a chant denigrating AA people who applauded from their meeting house once we finished. Later, I threw a dude's hockey stick up on a roof. Pretty sure I was sober. Yep.
  7. Shave it. Let everybody see that 666 tattoo at last. [OK so I didn't read the whole damn thread first, and so I missed a detail. LaDEE freakin DAH. At least nobody on here has cancer, can't imagine how freakin weepy y'all'd all be if THAT happened.]
  8. I doubt I'll do it anytime soon. Nothing against Costco, but to go there I'd also go near several coin shops with decent prices and lots more choices. I do like that bar design though.
  9. The first rule of Alcatraz is, we don't talk about Alcatraz. This is fancier than what I had: https://www.hobbylobby.com/crafts-hobbies/basic-crafts/styrofoam/3-in-1-hot-wire-foam-cutting-tool/p/80916662?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21086060082&gbraid=0AAAAAC-IqNxFm6Ny52X6ub33icciVoQub&gclid=Cj0KCQjw5ubABhDIARIsAHMighbV7iKEdAfQ8LBIr-CCT9oevflnW29Tq7K78jB7Ji76jnEaoYg6frcaAtS9EALw_wcB You could spend ten times as much for quality, but who wants to melt styrofoam the rest of their life? Just buy a cheap one, use it once, then forget where you put it.
  10. Made a true International Sale of Mystery. 92 cents popped up in my checking account from something called "Amazon Mexico," I was like what is this, some scam trying to get access to my account? Called the credit union, turned out it was legit. About 12 years ago I had set up various "print on demand" cartoons, and one "e-book" of cartoons that personally I wouldn't have paid for, and most people agreed. But now, somebody in Mexico bought a coffee cup or something. 92 cents is 18 pesos. That's a beer*. *en México
  11. My first infusion I was next to a lady from Mississippi who would have been picked to play Sympathetic Sassy Character in Movie Set in Mississippi. She was on the phone telling a friend about her platelet count, which seemed low, but she was taking it in stride like a dog had tee-teed in her petunias. My first thought was that I needed to be half as tough as little old ladies. My second was that I was glad to live maybe three miles from the clinic.
  12. I have made styrofoam terrain with a doohickey called a hot wire. It's literally a wire stretched between two prongs, insulated of course, and plugs into an outlet and the hot wire cuts through foam like the legendary hot knife through butter. Doesn't cause pebbles of styrofoam to pop loose like you get if you use a regular knife. I'd just give you mine if I knew where it was, but that'd require an expedition out of an Indiana Jones story. They probably sell them cheap at crafty/hobby stores. Ventilate the area. Melting styrofoam lets off used Love Doll fart funk.
  13. So you're saying 3/4 of Americans are fixin to starve.
  14. The first of many. Repeated gut flushings will have you looking like an extra from "300" with nary a sit-up. A few months from now strangers will wish they knew our health secret.
  15. Trick question-- if it's alive it ain't a zombie.
  16. I've got a failsafe answer to this one: If you can't shit, just plan your day around a long drive with no convenient bathrooms, no spare clothes, and whatever else your biggest fear is. Set forth confident that you can just "hold it in." Sometime soon after that, you will void yourself like dumping a garbage bag full of fresh fish guts.
  17. I'd write the letter for him, but his kids have to do errands for me (garden, remove wasps from neighbor's house, etc) and they better not fuck with my Gran Torino. But seriously, the dude would have to start wearing clothes I picked out for him.
  18. You are exactly one block from my glorious hippy shack of blessed memory. Maybe you can double up while you're in that hospital and get paid to have them slice off a pinky toe and then try to reattach it. $70 thousand boocoo 1990s dollars if you give it a go. I didn't do it, no ragrats. Seriously, that was where the medical studies paid $ to professional human lab rats to spend a few weeks in studies. I knew a girl who did that. (You could kinda tell she did.) Robert Rodriguez funded "El Mariachi" by participating in a study. He met the dude who played "Moco" in there.
  19. A while back at my house we were on a jag watching 1960s soap operas. There would always be a "Business Man" character, with some vague business that consisted on picking up a phone and yelling "Buy!" or "Sell!" You'd never know what they were buying or selling. But it must have made money because later on they'd show up with a lot of cash to take over a rival business. These shows would have been running while young Donnie was watching dad yell at the phone.
  20. I don't have to watch it, Dotty... I lived it.
  21. Dunno how the cancer chunks are taking the new drug (Welireg) but my kidney numbers have bounced back to where I strode the halls of the hospital bellowing laughter at the less fortunate like a Greek god.
  22. I didn't snipe British officers at Bunker Hill in a pre-vampiric existence just to hear some mediocre blood-bag bewail his misfortune at having to toss in some extra shillings to acquire one of vile Albion's musical-artifacts. Blind musicians suffering under Jim Crow managed to purchase or even make their own instruments. Go and do likewise you moon-calf.
