[QUOTE="MMMM, post: 1464161, member: 28655"]I have a very limited budget. It may take years for me to buy one banknote (the longest being over 5 years). To keep from over spending I stick to a theme, I collect banknotes with animals. This is some of my collection [URL]http://www.banknotebank.com/collection/MMMM[/URL] . I have about 2000 banknotes. Dave M is right, I also would suggest about the same. 1) Be patient. Do not jump and buy a banknote on a whim. Look for a Banknote you want. 2) Do your research and know what are the available grades of the banknote and the prices they fetch for those grades. Keep a comparison spreadsheet of grade, price, and shipping cost. Look at many sources, Retail shops, Internet dealers and Auction sites compare them all. 3) Try to buy the highest grade possible. Watch out for pressed and cleaned notes. 4) It is better that you save up your 15-40 dollars over time and buy a higher grade. So if you dont like anything while browsing, save it till next time and you will have 30 to 80. 5) And remember to buy what you like.[/QUOTE]
