<p>[QUOTE="scottishmoney, post: 426880, member: 12789"]I buy $2 bills in $50 and $100 lots at the bank about once a month and then spend them around town on a regular basis. I go through them for finds, a few months ago I found some 1953 Legal Tenders, and a 1963.

I offered them at face value, plus actual postage. I get an offer from a regular here, but he advises cannot pay right away. So I wait into the next week, nothing.

En otros palabras, hasta la vista!</p><p><br /></p><p>So okay, I post them on the Open Forum again a couple of weeks ago. Again a regular in the Paper Money forum expresses an interest in them. I have sent this regular some other items, in the hopes that they would pay me, and the amount for the other items was small so it was okay to hold off. Then they wanted the $2 stars, and we agreed I would send the notes, and that they would pay for them at the same time. Zip, zilch, nada, en otros palabras, hasta la vista.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I am out the other items I sent them, the $2 bills, etc. Wowza, who knew I would have such miserable luck with $2 bills.
