Would you buy this bank?

I thought this looked like an interesting listing. It seems like too many unknowns for me though, although it would be fun to open up!

Nope! The seller already knows what is in it, and you can bet your patootie that others like it (I saw a second listing below) will go to some bidiot who thinks it will be a good deal just like unsearched bags. The bank truck is even a modern replica, so it isn't worth much.

Well, it is sold. Funny!

 

The truck bank is ca. 1990's vintage. I have one that has a few old USSR coins in it.

 

I disagree, sir, and think that regardless of if the buyer realizes it or not, opening this thing will be no fun at all; junk coins in a truck bank that is likely filled only after the listing ends. This is probably worse than the salted "unsearched" rolls, and is nothing more than a cutesy insurance policy for this schlub.

 

That makes sense. I suppose my naivete got the best of me on this one, I'm a sucker for "cool" stuff

 

I agree that digging through an old bank would be cool, but just not one on ebay, and from a guy who just happens to have multiples.

 

Nope. Not any different than "unsearched" rolls. I pity those who fall for these things.

 

Pure, unadulterated marketing. Interesting, but no thanks.

one sucker isn't enough, how about another...

 

I could see paying about 20 dollars or less because the car is cool, but anything more than that and you're falling for a gimmick.
