The old signs have officially ridden off into the sunset… and the LEGENDARY has arrived! 🤩🍕

If you’ve driven by today, you’ve probably noticed a pretty BIG change! After years of battling sun, rain, snow, and everything West Virginia could throw at them, our old signs have been replaced with something that finally matches the experience waiting inside.

We are absolutely thrilled with how they turned out, and we can’t wait for everyone to see them lit up and standing proud! 👣✨

So tomorrow, when we open at 11:30AM, come check out the new look, snap a picture, and, of course, treat yourself to your favorite pizza, wings, pasta, salad, or dessert. The signs may be new, but the same crew is inside ready to make your favorites and serve our LEGENDARY customers!

These beautiful ".999 Fine Silver One Troy Ounce" bars came into the shop today. 🪙✨

Scottsdale Mint is one of the most recognized names in modern silver bullion. Founded in 2008, it’s known for producing high-quality bars and rounds with some truly impressive designs.

These bars weigh right at 31.1 grams. They have a beautiful mirrored finish, sharp details and an attractive design on the reverse. At first glance, there’s very little reason to question them.

Except for one major detail... 👀

🚨 They’re FAKE. 🚨

All three are alloy counterfeits made to imitate genuine Scottsdale silver bars. Fakes like these have been showing up in private sales and marketplaces all over, so it’s important to stay vigilant when buying precious metals. Correct weight and convincing details don’t necessarily mean an item is genuine.

We’ve seen our fair share of counterfeit coins, bars and precious-metal products here at the shop. That’s why OBITCO offers FREE testing of gold, silver, platinum and palladium. 🧪✅

If you’re concerned about something already in your stack, making a private purchase and need a reputable place to complete the transaction, or simply want to get started stacking precious metals, we’re here to help!

Know what you’re buying before money changes hands. 🔍💰

📦 IMPORTANT USPS SHIPPING UPDATE - ON TOP OF THE INCREASED FEES!

Beginning July 12th, USPS will assess additional fees for packages containing hazardous materials, including many common household items that customers may not realize require special handling.

Items such as perfumes and colognes, nail polish and nail polish remover, essential oils, hand sanitizer, hairspray, inks, stains, varnishes, and electronics containing lithium batteries must be disclosed to an OBITCO team member at the time your shipping label is created.

Packages containing qualifying hazardous materials may be subject to a $7.50 USPS HAZMAT Handling Fee. USPS may also assess a $50 noncompliance fee when hazardous materials are improperly declared, labeled, or packaged.

⚠️ This can also happen when reusing shipping boxes. Please remove or completely cover all old shipping labels, HAZMAT markings, battery labels, and warning stickers before reusing a box. An old HAZMAT label may cause USPS to treat the package as containing hazardous materials, even when the original item is no longer inside.

When in doubt, please tell us exactly what you’re shipping. Proper disclosure helps prevent unexpected fees, delays, returns, and potential safety concerns.

We strongly encourage all customers to review USPS shipping restrictions before bringing in a package: https://www.usps.com/ship/shipping-restrictions.htm

The United States Postal Service has announced a temporary price increase that’s going to impact a lot of everyday shipping. Beginning April 26, 2026, rates for services like Priority Mail, Priority Mail Express, USPS Ground Advantage, and Parcel Select will increase by about 8%. This change is expected to remain in place through January 17, 2027, and is tied directly to rising transportation and fuel costs across the industry.

For anyone shipping regularly, whether it’s personal packages or business orders, this means you’ll likely start noticing slightly higher costs, especially on heavier shipments or anything traveling longer distances. While USPS still remains one of the more affordable carriers overall, these adjustments can add up quickly if you’re not paying attention to how you’re shipping.

That’s where we come in. At OBITCO, we’re constantly working across multiple carriers and solutions to make sure you’re not overpaying. We can help compare options between USPS, UPS, FedEx, and others, look at your packaging to reduce unnecessary weight or size, and make sure you’re choosing the most cost-effective method every time.

Stop in and let us help you stay ahead of the changes. Shipping prices may be going up, but that doesn’t mean your costs have to.

Gold and silver faced consistent pressure all week, with gold settling near $4,482/oz after a sustained wave of selling that erased much of the typical geopolitical “war premium.” The primary driver was a shift in market expectations toward prolonged higher interest rates, as rising energy prices tied to the Iran situation reignited inflation concerns. This pushed U.S. yields and the dollar higher, creating a difficult environment for non-yielding assets like precious metals.

As the week unfolded, selling intensified as markets moved toward liquidity, with gold acting as a primary source of cash in margin-driven deleveraging. Technical indicators also weakened significantly, with gold breaking key support levels and momentum turning decisively bearish. By the end of the week, analysts were calling it one of the most significant weekly declines in decades. Silver followed the move lower with even greater volatility, amplified by its sensitivity to dollar strength.

Looking ahead, gold may find support if energy prices ease and the dollar and yields pull back. However, continued inflation pressure and a firm stance from central banks could keep downward pressure in place.

Whatever the market brings next, OBITCO is your trusted source whether you’re buying the dip or taking advantage of current prices. With our low 6% brokerage fee, we make sure you get the most value for every dollar!

Uhm…. This is just terrible.

First-class stamps could soon cost you 95 cents as the Postal Service warns it will "run out of cash" in a year without changes: http://www.wusa9.com/article/news/nation-world/usps-stamp-price-hike-proposed-first-class/507-384368e9-3b61-4b27-be73-08abcf7b0cb4?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook_WUSA_9
