<p>[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 8450349, member: 27832"]I'm probably not your guy, as I've sold a grand total of one (1) special-serial note on eBay, a $20 that netted me maybe $5 profit in the end. Since eBay charges a percentage of the WHOLE transaction price, rather than the increment <i>over face value</i> (which certainly makes sense from their perspective), it's going to be hard to do really well on larger denominations.</p><p><br /></p><p>I'd go with something like <b>10102001 BIRTHDAY NOTE PERFECT GIFT FOR 21st BIRTHDAY</b> as a title, and a short and not-too-serious sales pitch in the description. Be sure to include good photos and an accurate description of the note's condition. (The high denomination is more of a liability than a feature for this, so I'd make an exception to my usual "all critical info in the title" rule. It'll be clear enough from the photos, description, and asking price.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
