Since I'm not a collector of "rare notes", can anyone give me an approximate (legimate) value for this "date matching" note?
I wouldn't know, Jim, but I offered the kid who can't even spell when he's asking for $1,000,000 a popsicle (any flavor) but he turned me down.
He's a dreamer. Ain't worth a million, ain't worth a thousand, ain't worth a hundred... might be worth $10.
Well I disagree with that... It's well worth over $10, probably even $100 but deffintely no thousand or more... He's totally crazy to ask one million for it...
You know what you do? Buy it now and don’t pay. eBay will immediately charge him/her their fee and he can’t leave negative feedback for you. Eventually, explain to eBay, you pushed the wrong button and didn’t intend to buy it.
But how do you know he can't spell. Maybe he can't type. It is possible he is not good at math, and he wants 10 bucks, but couldn't figure out when to quit with the zero's. Maybe, I am right and he can't type and his pinky got stuck on the zero key. Maybe I'm just a moron:smile
As a rather large eBay seller, I will tell you that unless he is stupid, he can just file a dispute with eBay and have the fee's waived. He wouldn't get stuck paying them unless again, he is just really, really stupid.
True, but he'll have a lot of "fun" dealing with eBay, especially if the buyer delays a little in responding to eBay. Maybe you could delay it for a month, which might cause some lost sleep. Just type broken english when responding to eBay. Tell eBay you want it and then contradict what you said when they contact you again (kinda like a politician). After the 5th or 6th time you told them you want it, then you don’t, tell them you want it but you want to offer the seller less because it’s a best offer – right? That should take a month. Or, maybe you could play with the seller a little and let him/her think you’re going to pay, but have to workout delivery before you’ll pay. Insist that the seller deliver it personally to you. Go back and forth with that for awhile and then disappear.
I just had to deal with this same scenario a fee weeks ago, and it wouldn't work. The seller waits until the 4th day and they can file a claim. The high bidder then has 3 days to pay, or they get a strike and you get a credit so you don't have to pay the fees. You can have the whole thing settled in about a week.

A week is okay, maybe more if the seller holds out hope you'll pay - it's worth playing with the seller.
