Bargain hunting??? MY PASSION.. Here is today's SCORE.. I live for this stuff!!!

in #silver7 years ago (edited)

We live in Santa Cruz, California, which (besides a few overpriced pawnshops) has 2 Coin Exchanges that have both been in business here with storefronts since the 1970s. I have become friends with the owners of both after doing countless transactions, both on the "Buy" and "Sell" side -and BOTH of them adamantly REFUSE to use the internet. It is strange to me, but it does offer great opportunities to find valuable pieces cheap - like the one I got today I am about to show you.

I know many of you are going to say... why buy anything but BTC ETH NEO or Crypto in general??? And in a way you are right, the Crypto revolution is just beginning - still in it's infant stage. There is so much potential here. However......... there is NOTHING wrong with a bit of DIVERSIFICATION and if you can find something for $200 that you can flip for $900, or just stick it in the safe and hold onto it, well **THAT IS WHAT I LIVE FOR **my friends. That is truly one of my main passions - And passion and honesty should ring through with all my Steemit posts and hopefully get others excited too.

Here is my score for today.

A Sealed 12 Piece Silver Round Commemative Set from the 1992 Team USA Olympic Basketball team - limited edition, ONLY 1000 of these ever made I paid $220 (0.07 BTC) for the 12 ounces of Silver, or about $2.07 a piece above current Silver Spot Price - which is Grossly Undervalued here at an unbeilevable $16.26 an ounce. Ouch.....Silver is a bargain right now, of that I am certain - You can always check current spot at my favorite Metals website http://www.coinflation.com/silver_coin_values.html

What really makes this piece special is that is Sealed/Encased in Plastic and LIMITED to ONLY 1000 sets, that's HUGE - that's where the value really is with this piece - Not to mention Michael Jordan, Larry Bird.. a few other heavyweights see below

The 12 Players on the 1992 Team
MICHAEL JORDAN
SCOTTIE PIPPIN
LARRY BIRD
MAGIC JOHNSON
PATRICK EWING
KARL MALONE
CLYDE DREXLER
JOHN STOCKTON
CHARLES BARKLEY
DAVID ROBINSON
CHRIS MULLIN
CHRISTIAN LAEITNER

That was one BAD ASS team!!! So to recap here...I don't know how much this piece is worth, but I do know that it is worth MUCH more than $220 or .07 BTC I could only find one on the internet from an Ebay Auction that started as a "Buy it Now" at $900, and it sold as "Best Offer Accepted" so this piece is going in the safe, but I feel confident it is worth 3X what I paid, at least. So I hope you enjoyed my post, let me know what you like to collect, how you feel about the current Gold/Silver markets, do you enjoy BARGAIN HUNTING as much as I do???

Sort:  

Thats a list of names there what a team imo.
I not a huge basketball fan being in the uk but i do watch some.
i don't think many players since have come close to being as good as these guys.
I also remember playing the original nba jam.. what a game
It seem you got a great deal as you would pay more for current coins from dealers. I often lookout for coins with built in equity but you may have stolen these at price you paid..great find and great info

Wow so much I could say about your post. For one I think I am a silver stacker above all else. it is interesting pms dont get much acceptance in the crypto world. Makes me like them even more same goes with crypto in the silver and gold world its weird. That is crazy you are located in Santa cruz that is where I first heard of bitcoin actually from an artist down there. I wish I would have bought when he said it was a good idea and the Jordon coin. I dont watch much basketball actually I find it pretty boring but who doesn't know who Jordon is? He basically made nike which is who my cousin skateboards and is sponsored by now. I would totally stash that one in a safe spot. It would be hard to replace. nice score!

cool, thanks man, yeah keep stacking can't believe how cheap silver remains... $16 bucks an oz. really? i'd like to sell some to buy more btc and eth and others but just can't get myself to sell at $16, something way out of whack. thanks for checking out my post - did you see the one i did yesterday when i traded a btc to a gold bug for gold? I got a pretty damn good deal, although btc is up $300 since I did the trade just 2 days ago... crazy times in crypto land, following you now. peace and good night

thats an awesome score man, very cool set to have for sure.

thanks man, I think i did pretty good on this one... appreciate you checking out my post following you now.. peace

Good score! There's a reason they were called the Dream Team. Except maybe for Christian Laettner, I think he made the team because he was a college basketball badass the year before.

Very nice, you definitely got a bargain there.

I bet you get at least $500 for it if you sold it right away and possibly double that if you sell it in a few years or when silver spikes again.

Good luck on that flip, it will reward you for sure!
