Seems one must know what determines if/when a check can converted to an ACH withdrawal. Up to the payee? The payor's bank? Agreement between payee and payor's bank?

A coin shop will probably make you an offer on the whole thing but be aware they won't do it piece by piece, it just takes too long. If you're willing to do some of the work it will probably pay off with a higher return. Borrow a "Guide Book of US Coins" from your library, doesn't have to ...

It's only happened once, but I have received a spam call that was spoofing a number from one of my contacts.

Our church uses them on the second floor and they work great for a single room, even a large one. Some wires and tubing run down the outside wall to the compressor.

Currently it is illegal to melt US cents and nickels and there are low limits for taking/shipping them out of the country.

I have a friend who dabbles in a different type of collectible who told me a similar story. Things were "for sale" but actually completing a sale was a chore. The guy would say he's not sure he's going to sell that thing, or he didn't know how much he wanted, or he would have to check and ...

Thats an excellent question. Are the items actually sold? Generally Ebay collects the seller fee which is probably close 15% when include you Paypal fees or whatever they use. And do those sellers get a 1099K?. Or do most of those sales fall through? I have also seen people selling nonsense books f...

I did a search of sold items on Ebay and there are dozens of $1000+ sales of beanie babies out of 45k successful sales so clearly the are some that still have value (somewhat to my suprise). I did a similar search and the results didn't make sense to me. Filtered on "Sold Items" (only), o...

Many places are fussy about what they will take, especially Apmex, and they have minimum dollar value thresholds to meet and sometimes quantity thresholds. You dont say where you are in WA, but Bellvue Rare Coins is probably ok. You could maybe send it to Littleton Coin Company (in vermont i think)...

Our 401k plan SPD only mentioned a $75 annual fee for an SDBA, no other details. I called the 401k custodian to get details, and they answered my questions on fees (commissions on trades) and sent me the documents to set it up. That's where I would start.

I was impressed with the videos on http://boomerbenefits.com as well as the ones on your YouTube channel.

Swing over to the BoomerBenefits.com website. They are experts in Medicare. Also they are free. +1 for Boomer Benefits for learning Medicare. Outstanding videos, online seminars. Talked to one of their agents, was the most patient person ever. I also liked if you used them to enroll, they would int...

I bought a year-old Buick that had been a rental. No one wanting to rent some excitement would choose that car. It was solid for years, nothing that ever went wrong was something I could attribute to rental car abuse. I don't think I'd buy a former rental performance car, though.

My credit union offers free MSGs and I've been a member for over 30 years so would not have a problem with them knowing who I am. That said, I've never needed an MSG for anything, ever. A couple years ago we needed one and headed to our CU. The branch manager was willing except the amount being tra...

Whatever I might suggest to someone in these circumstances, I would absolutely prioritize that they want to be able to "visit their money" (talk to someone face-to-face) and they don't have any immediate need for money. And if they wanted to let the bank handle their money, even with high ...

I have no actual knowledge but it sounds like they plan to retire the VAN feature 7 months from now.

I also had to call today and took the option for a callback. Although they said 30 minutes, it only took 15.

The free utility AutoHotKey would work for this.

Their advisor left months ago, the foundation was notified by the custodian that they should choose another one. They decided they didn't want another one so did nothing. It wasn't until recently that the foundation was told that the foundation can transfer the assets but not make withdrawals until ...

Got a call today from a good friend. His family set up a charitable foundation a few years ago. They were told for IRS reasons the foundation has to distribute at least 5% of their funds yearly and they typically do it at year-end. They were just told that the custodian has essentially locked the ac...

I don't quite understand the measurement and pricing system of gold. Most gold jewelry aren't pure gold right? So I'm assuming the jewelry is only worth a smaller percentage of the gold price (which is quoted as if it were pure gold?) Or am I getting something wrong - I literally have never owned a...

So, make sure you know your company's track record on this issue before before giving too much advance notice. I stress this above all. Company culture will dictate what the best approach is. I worked at a place where it was not unusual for people to give 3-6 months notice if they were a key person...

Glad to hear things have been worked out. I added "[resolved]" to the thread title.

I wouldn't want this property in my name. I'd take the IOU for $5K, transfer ownership, and accept that I might never be paid.

You might consider using a CDARS (https://www.cdars.com/) or ICS (https://www.insuredcashsweep.com/) account. These will let you open an account at a participating bank, and that bank will spread your funds out to other institutions so no single institution holds over the FDIC limit so all your fund...

You can try a service like boomerbenefits.com, but I suspect they will want your contact information pretty quickly as well. They act as a broker for multiple companies and can help you pick the right one based on your specific needs/desire. I see a lot of very positive reviews about them on variou...

Tax software gets tweaked and updated all the time as the filing deadline approaches. I'm curious if anyone knows if the Amazon library stores updated versions, or if they store the original retail version where you would be dependent on H&R Block to provide update services for old versions.
