Crazy Darwin went and popped the question... DONE AND DUSTED

..And so finds himself needing to pay for the expensive circular finger decoration.

I'm back doing what some may say I do best. My crazy sales. I need to be good at something. At least now we know what it is.
Because ... well ... you know, sometimes I'm a little crazy. It makes life interesting. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
You'll learn to live with madness. Just like she's going to learn. Or she already has. I don't know. Just be glad you're not her.

Anyway, here's what we have on offer this time. It's all gold, so don't go expecting silver because there bloody well isn't any.
Maybe next time.

Just bear in mind that, as usual for me, the prices are all inclusive of express post to wherever you are in Australia.

Also note:
NOTHING (and I mean nothing) will be sent first with payment on delivery. Don't even ask.
I will laugh at you and call you names, and you will be offended.
As I will be asleep until near midday Darwin time, time stamps will be used to determine who buzzed what via PM vs in the thread.
My decision is final because it's the time stamps which will override any disputes.


With all that said, let's now get on with the show.


Lot 1: 1x 1983 commemorative Royal Wedding (the first time around) $200.
It comes with the original blue flip as you can see in the pictures. That's how pictures work, they show you what you'll be getting, because that's the exact item that I'm offering.
I couldn't say definitively if it's a proof or not, but who cares, the point that's going to grab your attention is below in red.
This lot also includes 1x ABC single gram (that's a whole massive 1g for those who missed it). It tried to hide from me during the previous fractional sale, so I'm teaching it a lesson by moving it on.
These will not be separated. $825



Lot 2: 1x Perth Mint serialised 1oz blob.
Perfect strike, nothing askew or wonky or awry or any of those other words that mean the same thing.
Bright and shiny, it does all the things it says it'll do and none of the things it doesn't. Asking (what's already undercutting spot) $2540.


Lot 3: 1x 2021 1oz gold kangaroo. Not necessarily rare or uncommon, but it's the one that's being offered. So there.
The asking price is so marginal as to be basically the same as spot that it's hardly worth mentioning, but I'll mention it anyway because I can be redundant from time to time. $2560


Lot 4: 1x 2005 2oz Australian Nugget. Now this particular beasty (beastie? However you spell the damned word) is uncommon. Rare. Unseen. Unknown. Invisible. Pick whichever word you like best and apply it.
It had a nominal (that means Perth Mint was never intending to make more than) mintage of what I believe was 5,000, but the number of which were actually minted comes to the grand total of 2,208. Do you really want to miss out on the opportunity to get your hands on it? Carpe coinum. I should really say "carpe nummum" if I'm using correct Latin, but it doesn't flow as well.
Stop distracting me.
It can be yours for the princely sum of $5150





As is completely standard for me, I again have an offer for the whole shebang; a flat $11000 - which, as outlined above in the blue underlined bit, will still include express postage anywhere in Australia.

 

It is better to have loved and lost, than to have ever loved and married!

 

Buzz Lot 1

 

Buzz 2, 3, and 4!

 

Congratulations.

 

hopefully she says yes! No doubt she will!

And a big congratulations to both of you !

 

And...your going to have to sell a lot more of your stack once your married

 

And… when you have little Darwin’s, you may have to settle with google images of gold and silver. lol

 

Congratulations, that’s going to be one hell of a ring!!

 

Is her finger an elephant foot or something!?

 

Not all
There's possibly more she doesn't know about.
Maybe.

 

Size I½ (or 4½ US sizes)... An elephant foetus, maybe

 

Congrats @Darwin!

 

Congrats mate And good prices there.

A little off topic but just wondering if The Hub in Palmerston is still up and running. Spent many of nights (years) in that place drinking when I lived in Palmerston back 20yrs ago.

Love Darwin and will probably move back there in the near future.

 

I'm not going to settle


















I say that now
I think I know what I could be in for...

 

The Hub is still kicking (sometimes kicking off). There's a newer development slightly further out, the location escapes me just at present but it's called Gateway (gateway to what exactly I don't know since it's actually towards Katherine) but Palmo is still doing Palmo things some of those positive and others not so much.

 

Hahaha yep she sure did kick off when I was there, bloody good times and a few I’d rather forget lol and yes Palmo good to hear it’s like I remembered.

I miss Howard Springs, used to go there nearly every day with kids after school for a swim and bbq and hand feed the Barra oh and of course beers, many many beers to.

We had an army house in Palmerston and mrs used to be in the army driving a unimog and was stationed at Robertson Barracks.
