    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. :D

    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.

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

    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!!!
