Didn't win a car.....but walked away with this!!

I was gunning for a 1980 Datsun 280ZX Black Gold Edition being sold at a Storage Facility Forfeiture/Unpaid Rent Auction, but lost out (missed it by a measly $100!!). Not wanting to leave empty handed, I ran across a guy that was emptying a storage unit he just bought the contents of, and I asked him if I could buy off him some US Mint and Bank Canvas Bags he was throwing to the side. I got 15 of them for $30.

Come home, and find these 4 in one of them. Glad I caught him before he had time to rummage thru the bags throughly.

Now that is COOL.

Even if they were just ordinary spending money you'd be $6 ahead.

Awesome.

 

That has to be one of the best deals ever - you gave the guy $30 and got $36 in collectable notes in return :thumb::thumb::thumb:

Congrats!

 

Awesome catch. But you have to admit, a canvas bag is a strange place to store these notes.

 

holy moly!!!

 

Um, you did notice the HAWAII markings on the front and back of the notes, right?

 

he's saying its 36$ face value, in COLLECTIBLE notes.

 

I don't see nuthin' concerning face value.

 

just the right thing to be said at this very moment! What a very lucky person you are - those notes are certainly worth a whole lot more then $30!!!

 

WOW!!:kewl: can you post a picture of each note? i can give you a accurate value if you do. nice finds!

 

MAN, very nice job!!! :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: That's what I call a good buy, lol. :thumb:

4 scans of the notes. Biggest scans I could produce.
