Only 50 states, so you would think living in the capital of one you could find items to fit your needs. So the day goes like this, I need my iPhone 4 fixed because the microphone is broke and I am tired of getting stares as I use speakerphone. After a call to AppleCare I find out I can simply go to an Apple store and receive service. Now that’s real customer service especially since I did not want to wait a week for one to come via courier.
I find out that our state capital doesn’t have one but there 3 around us all approximately 75+ miles away. Off to Augusta, GA I go and not in the best of moods. A little break here to say after my drive I was irritable but the service was impeccable at the Augusta, GA Apple store and I had a new phone within minutes.
On to my next rant about our fair city. Looking at the stock market lately I read that precious metals are at an all time high and getting higher. My thoughts are why not buy some silver, gold and/or platinum in small amounts each week or month. Mind you when I say small amounts I am talking a ounce or 10 of silver and some grams of gold every month. You know like some silver maple leafs or assay carded gold. These metals have stood the test of time already so I think they would be good long term investments.
I know there are a multitude of places online to buy but I want instant gratification and I wish to avoid shipping charges. Posts I have read mentioned visiting pawn shops so off I went. After walking into my second one and having the people look at me like I am an idiot for asking if they sell gold or silver I give up. They said they buy precious metals they don’t sell it. Are they hoarding or something?
So if you know of a good place drop me a line.
