    I can only touch myself furiously 100 times a day now. Bog roll getting less and I have have to fit in the odd dump or 4. The girlfriend caught me wiping my plonker on the curtains forteen times last week becuase lack of lav roll and cost, shrinkflation. The curtains like cardboard now. More like foldable blinds!

    As said by many shares, iSA's and the like.
    However what do you know about?
    I know a goodly amount about guitars, most people that have a guitar don't. Bought one off Facebook market place a little while ago, £9, yes nine quid. A good wash and brush up and new strings, sold for it £120 two weeks later. It took me less than an hour to clean and set the guitar up (did include putting a shim on the neck) and spent £5 on new strings. How much does my labour cost, nothing and everything. 
    Another one, again from facebook market place, £120 to £450, took a hell of a lot more work, needed to steam the bugger!!!
     
     

     On the lookout for a JV or SQ numbered Made in Japan Squier, they have doubled in pri last five years.
    I also collect copies of Wisden, can easy double my money on those.
    Hope you know what I mean.

    watchesandwhisky reacted to Stacktastic in Why still buying Silver over Gold in the UK ?   
    As with a low spot it is seriously undervalued even with VAT.
    I guess we all hope that Mike Balony and his £200 an ounce theory will come to fruition one day & make us all rich.  
    With whats happening now, this is actually looking like it might be a reality at some point this decade!! 

    In all seriousness, you can get a lot more for your money, especially if the price slides south of £15. 
    Wait for it to go back up to £25 and sell it in exchange for gold or a new car.  

    Having said that im buying a kg from Europe after this week's CPI announcement. Goes to a house in Europe.

    I don't stack but buy Morgan Dollars in very good condition and Kooks to maintain and expand a collection.
    Other than that its really not worth it for me.

    Everything from my remaining order arrived today - have to say, I am very impressed with the Mint's additional packing.
    All coins look good enough (perfect?) to the naked eye. Not gonna spoil them by checking under magnification.
    Now to decide whether to grade or not...
     
    Here's my full collection, it does look pretty sweet

    @watchesandwhisky My 4 coin set was dispatched today. Be careful and check your emails. I had to phone up and reverify my card because of the length of time, the authorisation had dropped off. This might be an issue with second engraver coin to I feel.
