    Actually, maybe not a bad idea.

    Advertise a couple weeks ahead of time in each small town and then clean up!!

    Might want to give your coin shop a new coat of paintimage

    That's a great idea. I will buy the Steelers bumper sticker for the vehicle as a good luck charm (plus it might draw some business, especially if you stock Steelers memorabilia). image

    I am thinking that perhaps the Steelers can be like The Grateful Dead was in the late 1970's through early 1990's: a touring entourage with groupies and lots of marketing opportunity.

    It will be my honor to take care of that, as well. As I sit here at my desk, I am wearing my Penguins Stanley Cup Champions t-shirt. image

    Didn't you have an RV or two parked out by your house at one time? You've got a good start right there. Hookup one to tow, weld a safe in there somewhere...

    hehe, I cannot believe how prophetic you are with this statement, please send me a PM, be prepared for a surprise! Go 'Boys.

    Look exactly like a mini version of my late grandmothers' house before it was blown away in a tornado! She stubbornly refused to let anyone tear it down and build her a new one; lived in the same house for 70 years.

    Not a good idea with all of these car jacks these days.. Just think, you buy a huge deal from say his name is Don Willis and he just sold you a rare Gold Eagle that is worth $100k, well your safe, your coin mobile gone in 60 seconds.. Oh don't forget your 3/4 full Starbucks coffee gone also.


    Anyone remember the Kool-Aid man? There was a van that came to neighborhoods back in the early 70's and all of the kids on the block won $25 plus free Koolaid for a year. Anyone remember that? Now just think if there was a coin mobile back then. Sweet..image

    That would actually be a good idea if you advertised ahead of time, security would be the biggest issue as you would haveto keep lots of coins you purchased on board as well as a ton o cash to buy!!.
