<p>[QUOTE=&quot;funkee, post: 1549878, member: 37925&quot;]There was definitely a dip in 2009, but I am seeing a definite upswing in 2012 for currency in general. I&#039;ve seen closing auction prices growing at a substantial rate for notes I own, and even auctioneer&#039;s estimates are going up. </p><p><br /></p><p>Due to the large number of banks from the national series, the closing price is mostly driven by bidding wars between a small number of buyers. It&#039;s hard to plot the trend on a note with only 20 known, so it&#039;s hard to say that the <span style="color: #333333">$316.75 price in 2009 was due a downward trend in market values. It&#039;s definitely possible that the 2008 sale at $460 was simply driven by two enthusiastic buyers.</span></p><p><span style="color: #333333"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #333333">$392 doesn&#039;t seem very high considering an auction close in 2009 at $316.75. Then again you are dealing with a retailer and not an auction. I would make the seller an offer at the price that the last one sold for, reference that sale and see where that goes.</span></p><p><span style="color: #333333"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #333333">See if you can find what that seller bought the note for. Track &amp; Price is great for auction records. Then you&#039;ll know exactly what you can haggle for.</span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
