The Lounge / Re: Beckett Online Price Guide
« on: October 26, 2011, 02:22:25 PM »
I haven't paid much attention to card prices lately (other than to notice they've plummeted since a decade ago) but I imagine the values are stable enough that you could buy a single Beckett magazine and it'd last a while. Or just check Ebay as the guy above me mentioned.

Im keeping all of it, I am a firm believer that the S will hit the F VERY soon. 

Food/ Water
Guns/ Ammo
Silver

Im prepped.

OK, I'm curious, what is it you think is going to happen exactly? I know times have been tough lately and things might get worse, but do you really think things are going to devolve into a Mad Max type post-apocalyptic world?


As far as the topic goes, I collect coins, but I just can't get into modern Lincoln cents. The mintage is too high for them to ever really be that collectible. I guess if the melt ban is ever lifted someone could make some money hoarding tons of them, but it's not like the price copper is likely to sky rocket enough to make a modest collection that valuable.

But what about his 5 successful lawsuits against message boards? Are you saying someone could lie about something on the internet? I, for one, am shocked at such a notion. Shocked!

The point is, freedom of speech does not in fact work that way and would be entirely irrelevant to any lawsuit against this message board. This alone leads me to believe that you have no idea what you're talking about.

If you think you do know what you're talking about, then tell me: precisely what would your cause of action be? Failure to apply a policy is not in and of itself a cause of action, but rather your potential allegation for what might have happened. A cause of action is something based on a particular established legal concept.

Why am I engaging? Because I enjoy pointing out stupid arguments.

Perhaps you should read the links you just posted. They involve lawsuits against public schools and cities and so forth. Those are considered part of the government and thus covered by the freedom of speech amendment.

You stated specifically that your lawsuit was based on the idea of freedom of speech. You did so at least twice, in fact.

Dude, when a board has a policy ( and this board does)  and that policy is not followed unilaterally, that opens up the door for a lawsuit. I have done it before and won.  It is like when your employer has a employee handbook, but folks are treated "differently" outside the rules in the book,  there have been  several multi-million dollars lawsuit won on someone get preferential treatment and others did not. Spend a day reading case law  and you might understand. I have filed five lawsuit and won, real life is not like Law and Order.

I'm sorry, but I'm quite sure you're full of it. If you'd actually filed lawsuits and won, you'd know that they had nothing whatsoever to do with freedom of speech. At best if might involve some sort of contract law, but there would be a multitude of issues involved with that, making it decidedly unlikely anyone would win anything on that. I could go into more detail, but I don't see the point because it seems clear to me that you're now just going to lie and say whatever you please.

Drew is here in Atlanta, very easy to go to file my suit at the Fulton County courthouse if he deletes my posts, I even sent him a message stating exactly what would happen if my posts were deleted, freedom of speech works both ways, playa!. Understand I want this thread to be left alone, leave all posts as they are.....certain  people wanted me to chime in, so here I am.....

Wait, are you joking or do you honestly believe a cause of action exists for having your posts deleted on an internet message board? If you're serious, I hate to break it to you, but that isn't how freedom of speech works. Freedom of speech protects you from the government infringing on your rights. Private entities like this message board aren't covered. They can delete whatever they want.

The mattress and box spring will cost from $ 50 to $ 100 to dispose of Legally here in Taxachusettes.
Plus You legally can't sell a used one unless you have it sterilized .

Have you tried contacting local homeless shelters, battered women shelters, et cetera to donate them? That law just seemed to cover resale, so those places might be able to take them as donations. I've heard of people doing that here in CA as long as the mattress isn't totally trashed.

Well, PCGS, the premier coin grading company values them at $2 in "good" condition (which is actually bad, circulated condition). Of course, now that I look at NGC, the other top company, I see they value it much lower so maybe PCGS is inflating the value for some reason. They seem to go for cheap on ebay, but I've seen people selling them on craigslist for a few bucks. Not sure how successful they are, of course.

A bench with weights went for $1? Weights are expensive, man. Maybe you should have picked that up.

Dollars. Of course that's what they're "worth." You might not be able to sell them for that much. Good luck though. Fingers crossed for a 1909-S VDB (worth $750-1750).

When I look through pennies, I basically do this:

- 1959 Lincoln Memorial reverse - don't bother even though there are a few double die types out there.
- Wheaties - 1944-1958 - check for 1955 double die, maybe 1944 d/s error, don't worry about rest
- 1943 steel cents - worth 2-5 depending on condition
- Anything pre-1934 is worth at least a buck
- Big ticket wheaties - 1909 VBD (particularly S mint), 1909-1915-S mints, 1914-D, 1924-D, 1926-S

As for the rest, if you feel like being a bit of a dick, get the remaining wheat cents rolled and trying selling them as unsearched wheat rolls. They're pretty popular these days even though most of them are really searched.

13
The 1943 S is worth a few bucks depending on the condition. The nickels aren't really worth anything based on those grades. Unfortunately nickels were only silver during WWII.

14
Maybe a couple of hundred pennies individually shown in those white wrappers with the cellophane window and then a couple of hundred more in binder sheets in a binder with the individual white wrappers in the sheets.

What's the story on those pennies exactly? I can't imagine someone would take the time to put them in holders if they're worthless common pennies. Are they at least wheat cents?

I know a lot more about U.S. coins, but I can tell you:

A. It varies a lot depending on the coin and condition.
B. Generally not as much as you might think.

Post a picture of the coin and maybe we can figure out what it is exactly. Or you can look here I suppose: http://esty.ancients.info/ricix/

Personally, I have a Septimus Severus coin from 193-211AD. It seems to go for $60-200 depending on the condition and circumstances.
