Any reputable online stores that you've found for these that ship to the US other than ebay? I got some of the LV-N's off ebay but am trying to find another reliable source for future purchases of older models or when new ones drop.

Can you return it? IMHO you need a MINIMUM 40v battery to power a blower/vac.

Ego Power+ tools are the best IMO. 56V lithium batteries. They're powerful, last long, and charge quickly.

The 20v will be lighter (wife will also use) and it will be for pretty light duty, so I wanted to try it. But yes it is returnable if it isn’t sufficient.

Yes, a majority of my collection is for investment purposes. It's always been a hobby of mine and I just buy and hold. Sometimes the items stay about the same in value and many times they will appreciate over time just like most other investments. The main thing is I enjoy it and I know it won't really go down in value as long as I do my due diligence before my purchases.

This particular note I paid over 4k for. In this condition, depending on how well it grades could be worth at bare minimum what I paid to about 7-8k.

Good hobby to have, and one of the few that can actually show gains. I collect coins, all in high grades and certified, no moderns.

Thumbs up

Had to retire our old Breville. These miniature Ovens get lots of use 8n our household. They are much more energy efficient, hold enough food for the entire family, very adjustable.
And after tons of research and already owning a Cosari Air Fryer, (awesome too) I decided to grab this Smart Mini Oven. So far so good.

Nice! I dont know much about old coins, it's pretty complicated to be knowledgeable about much more so than with currency. I always appreciate them though.

I have an old morgan silver dollar and I collect proof silver coins from the mint every year. Always get W and try to get S and D as well for each year. 2021 was cool because they changed the design on the silver dollar so I have the proof coin in both designs for the same year.

My Black Chrome trunk badge from IND came. Can’t wait to put it on, it’s going to look much better than the regular chrome.

My Cuisinart died a little while ago so I just got a new Zojirushi kettle to replace it. Amazing upgrade and does everything just a little better. The Cuisinart lasted about 8 years and did a good job during that time, but with how much I use them I figured I could justify the higher price of the Zojirushi. I also have been doing a much better job of vetting my purchases and not purchasing anything made in China if I can help it.
