Not Selling Old Silver Dollar Pieces At This Time

Posted by Billy on March 1st, 2010

The idea of selling old silver dollar pieces to me is crazy. I would rather hang on to them for the next twenty years and then see how much I can get for them. I would venture to guess that they will never make another big coin like that again either, so the longer you hold it, the more valuable it will become. Now, my best friend had a big collection of coins and then had to sell silver to help pay the rent one month.

I guess if it is very much a must do situation than selling old silver dollar pieces is okay in some situations. If you are just looking to get the price of weight of them in money then you are truly not a collector anyway. I read a book that was true about a boy who collected coins from the time he was just five years old, till he was ready to retire. He sold the entire collection for over two million dollars and retired very nicely.

Now that is the smart way to sell silver and that is what I am going to try to do. If I come across anyone down on their luck, then I will just add to my pieces and help them out at the same time.

The Girls Footie Pajamas Were Warm

Posted by Billy on February 22nd, 2010

The footie pajamas that I got at the store were so warm and comfortable that my daughter has asked me to go and get her a few more. I told her that there were only girly colors left and since she does not like to wear pink, purple or anything with flowers on it, I did not choose those girls pajamas for her and could not even imagine her wearing them.

After she told me that since no one would be seeing her in her footie pajamas but our family, she decided that she would be willing to wear girly colors. I laughed and told her that the next time that I went to the store, I would look in the girls pajamas section of the store and see if they had any left. I did not want to run right out and buy them, just in case she changed her mind.

About three days later I had to run to town and my daughter reminded me that she still wanted more footie pajamas, no matter what color they were. I was happy to get them for her, but I told her that she had to wear them and not just favor the green and blue ones that I had already picked up for her.

The Purell And Soap Dispensers Are Always Full

Posted by Billy on February 15th, 2010

Our Purell dispensers have been full to the top all winter. I think that our boss wants us to all stay germ free and not miss any work. The past few winters, have been rough on this office with us all passing germs back and forth between each other. So, when the whole H1N1 epidemic started early last year, our boss tried to find ways to combat germs around the office. The Purell dispensers were one of the first things that we noticed and he gave the night cleaning crew strict instructions to make sure that they top them of every night, so that we never run out.

The new automatic soap dispensers were the second thing that was introduced into our office this summer and we all really like them. If cuts down on waste, since it gives you the exact amount that you need every time you put your hand under them. About two weeks after the soap dispensers were installed, we found really nice high end hand dryers in every restroom. We no longer had to touch the lever on the side of the paper towel dispenser to make them come out; just put your hands under the hand dryer and they were dry in no time.

Implementing so many new things into the office to help combat germs was really smart; I bet that the boss wishes that he would have done that many years ago.

Playing Dodgeball On The Scottsdale Sports League

Posted by Billy on February 15th, 2010

The Scottsdale sports league pamphlet that I have been looking at, lists all of the different leagues that they have. I am interested in the Scottsdale dodgeball league. I always loved dodgeball when I was a kid and playing on an adult team sounds like a lot of fun.

I would think that there are all women and all men teams that you can be on, but a co-ed team would be better; it would be just like I was back in elementary. I am going to see if I can get some of my friends from work to sign up with me for the Scottsdale dodgeball league and maybe we could put together our own team.

I guess that two of my coworkers have played on other Scottsdale sports league teams and they have said that they were really fun. Everyone who plays on them is just out to have a great time, meet new people and party before, after and during the games. That sounds even better than I thought it would be.

There are seven people that have put their name on my signup sheet to play on our Scottsdale dodgeball league team. They are all really cool fun people, so I know that we are going to have a great time.

Checking Out The Raleigh Kitchen Remodeling Contractors

Posted by Billy on February 8th, 2010

Last year when I was searching for a Raleigh kitchen remodeling company, I was able to find one with great references. I had read somewhere that you should check out a few past job references from and remodeling contractors you consider using. I asked for three references and contacted each of them over the next few days. I had a hard time getting a hold of one of them and later found out that they had actually moved out of the area.

When I finally did find them, I asked them if they remembered the remodeling contractors they had used and if they thought they had done a good job for them or not. They explained that they hired the Raleigh kitchen remodeling company to install some new cabinets and flooring in their outdated kitchen before selling it. Their real estate agent had suggested doing the work to the kitchen to help sell the house better and she recommended the remodeling contractors too.

Out of all the references I checked, the last one was by far the best. They explained how the contractors had completed the work on time and how they charged exactly the amount that was estimated to them prior to starting the work too.

The Search Engine Marketing Team Did A Great Job

Posted by Billy on February 2nd, 2010

The search engine marketing team from the website designers in Raleigh did a great job. They all found out exactly what needed to be done and did it. In fact, the work was split up in between four of them and they had marked everything off the list in less than a month.

I suggested to the website designers in Raleigh and their boss that they give the search engine marketing team a raise or some sort of award for going above and beyond and getting the work done. I knew that when I hired them that they had a good reputation but I was still impressed.

My buddy Ron hired them to do some search engine marketing and when they finished, he was ranking on the top five pages for many of his important keywords. He got so excited with their results from just one campaign that he hired them to go ahead and start a second campaign in hopes of breaking into the top thirty of search results.

Ron was the one who told me to stop trying to get my site to rank higher on my own and hire someone who actually knew what they were doing. I am sure glad that I listened; I have already started to see results from what the marketing team did.

Selling Old Jewelry Online Is Lucrative

Posted by Billy on January 30th, 2010

Selling old jewelry is supposed to be a good way to make some quick cash. I have a drawer full of stuff that my grandmother left to me and I am sure that it is worth some good money. Especially since it is mostly gold and looks like it was expensive. I used to wear a lot of her jewelry around when I was playing dress up when I was very young, so she left it all to me in her will.

I have been checking out the easiest ways of selling jewelry online and found that you can mail it into companies that will send you a check back within a day or two after determining what it is worth. I think that I may take it to a local pawn shop to see what they would offer me for selling old jewelry and then compare it to the online offer.

Another option to selling jewelry online is placing each piece individually on auction sites or putting them together in lots too. I have actually bought a few really nice pieces of jewelry that way myself. I remember being in a bidding war with someone with a screen name of barbie500. Barbie500 did not win, I did.

They Got Their Granite Countertop

Posted by Billy on January 27th, 2010

When my friends were thinking of having their kitchen remodeled, I told them about this company I had heard of. I had seen a kitchen remodeling company Tampa Bay ad in the local paper. They even had a website, so my friends could check it out before they even called them. I knew that they had some things in mind, but were not sure if they could afford them or not.

The one thing that was at the top of their list was granite countertop Tampa Bay. If they could not get anything else, they were getting the granite countertops. I was not sure that they would get their money back out of them, if they ever sold the house since they lived in a more middle class neighborhood, but it was the one thing that they both agreed on.

The kitchen remodeling company Tampa Bay salesman came out and gave my friends the estimate for the granite countertop and for some new cabinets. It was a little more than what they initially wanted to spend but after seeing what their kitchen could look like, they decided to have the remodel done and just take a little extra money out of their savings to cover the additional costs.
