[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 25474822, member: 27832"]This seems like an interesting little game-theory problem. There are thousands of bills out there that fall into this range. To nearly everyone, they're worth face value -- because there are relatively few collectors. So far, not too different from coins or anything else. To an informed collector, they're worth some small-ish premium, because there's a [I]chance[/I] they'll be worth more. But if you have one of them, then there's [I]one[/I] bill out there that's worth a [I]lot[/I] more to you. And if the person holding it is also an informed collector, [I]your[/I] bill is worth a lot more to [I]them[/I]. So, how [I]do[/I] you work out a deal? "Your bill's worth only a couple of bucks without mine. I'll give you, oh a couple of bucks times ten. What a deal!" Yeah, that's not going to fly. What are these negotiations like?[/QUOTE]
