Message:: [QUOTE="Irishrunner, post: 1802214, member: 44403"]Thanks lettow! I thought it may be something like that; it's just been a difficult journey. I'd love to hang on to everything I have, as they were left to me by my Nana, who was my everything. But, unfortunately I do need to sell some stuff (won't bore everyone, as everyone has a hard luck story these days, but as my mom jokes, "it's not Murphy's Law, it's ***** law", meaning our family's "law". Basically, if we didn't have bad luck, we wouldn't have any at all....). Anyway, I like to look at the good things we do have, as life is short & we need to see the positive. I do have a bunch of stuff I really need to get graded, but, for now I really can't afford it, & I know that may end up being detrimental when it comes to selling them. I've gotten put through the ringer when it comes to coin shops. I found one I really like & trust back in Chicago, when visiting family, but I'm back in LA now & the one I went to here, the guy was extremely shady, & after years of owning a prominent shop in Studio City, was finally put out of business for his unethical ways. I probably need to post elsewhere, but hoping to find a good place in LA that I can find people to trust to work with, at least for appraisals. PS. I was offered $300 for the postal note & $20 for the fractional. Does that seem fair? Thanks for any & all input![/QUOTE]
