I’ve noticed that’s what retired people do is travel. Safe travels

Some do, some don't, some can, some won't.
Been 10.5 yrs since I even flew.
I guess it's a "Been there done that."

Maybe when I retire from being retired we might do a river cruise in Europe.
Though the way the part of the world is looking it probably won't happen.

Good morning

 

[pepperj]

Got another good soaking rain overnight.
Not ss much as the 1.75" as the other day, but over an inch. This one soaked in nicely it seems.
Off to the city to do the auction pickup, rejecting 1 lot unless they compensate me huge.
Bought a reclining stressless leather chair and footstool by EKORNES. Hopefully the rain will be over by the time I go.

Leather and water really didn't mix well.
Though I see on another auction there's a leather water pail.
Must be an African thingy.
But there's a 20" Billy club 🤔
Ya that's more my thinking.

Thinking an early Michael Jackson song while swinging it.

I'm sure I will hear a WTF in the 👂 🙉 from the Mrs 🫑.
You're serious about this?
NO!
The riding crop dearest 😍 🤣
SLAP!

You can hear him purr from across the room. I never dreamed a cat could have such a personality, and is so smart.... coolest cat ever !

Well the rain held off for the auction pick up.

So the gold chain tested ok, weight ok.

The watch lot was rejected and refund paperwork done.
Would of been nice if it had been good.
I put in an offer regarding the 2 gold pieces weighing 5.2 grams.

The other buyer rejected 3 lots of gold.
She confirmed with me for testing and weighing, while grumbling as she drove a long ways.
Misty rain still happening.

Curious as to why you invest in gold jewelry rather than other forms like ingots?

I hate what a person gets charged for a premium.
So if everything went sideways and gold and silver was one of the preferred currencies.
Everything was bought by the gram.

Would an 24K one ounce ingot bring more than 53.35 grams of 14K.

I made a 53% profit on the 14K chain I bought, so that beats the banks 3%.

So are you saying you are getting this jewelry way under its gold value then.

From the auction price there's a 18% buyers fee.
Then they add the 13% on top of that.
The smelter is paying 95% of spot this morning.
So how much risk will I go?
I still like to see a spread of 25%.
Note: I don't drive 30 miles to pick up something that weighs 2 grams.
