<p>[QUOTE="Notaphylic_C, post: 24671233, member: 130786"]I used to go to shows with notes like that (actually, they were in better shape) & then buy a collectible note (smaller tough change over, radar or replacement) with them. I probably annoyed a few dealers but I'd stop at one of the tables where the owner looked friendly & then chat & unload a few (lower denominations too like $1 & $2). The reason I liked going to shows (& spending them) was that the dealer always gave me a look & some of them might have even put a few in their junk box for a tiny mark up. They often treated me with a bit more respect or shared little jewels of knowledge (like what was "hot," what was not or who had a good buy on a certain item). It felt good to unload the ragged/worn out notes which I felt were too poor to keep in my collection (maybe for somebody else but not mine) & get to know the dealers. It's up to you but I think it would cost too much to sell (mark up so slight).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
