<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TypeCoin971793, post: 2867440, member: 78244&quot;]I just got back from a show and I was pretty excited to get my first $4 bill in excellent condition and from a city near my hometown. I knew nothing about it and could not research it (the event center wanted 10 freaking dollars for access to wifi, after $5 for one of many unused parking spots), so I had to trust the dealer. Apparently the dealer knew that I knew nothing about obsolete banknotes, so he quoted $150 citing how it was in superb shape and very scarce (I certainly had never seen this type before, and it was uncirculated). And stupid me traded a coin I for which I had paid $150 for the note. Then I get home and realize it is worth $25.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/SCARCE-1800-039-S-4-BANK-OF-AUGUSTA-GEORGIA-OBSOLETE-CURRENCY-/132316745028?hash=item1eceb14d44%3Ag%3ALtAAAOSwCXxZrALW&amp;nma=true&amp;si=zyDHUqfq82rE%252B39qIJ3hXmF2VQw%253D&amp;orig_cvip=true&amp;rt=nc&amp;_trksid=p2047675.l2557" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/SCARCE-1800-039-S-4-BANK-OF-AUGUSTA-GEORGIA-OBSOLETE-CURRENCY-/132316745028?hash=item1eceb14d44%3Ag%3ALtAAAOSwCXxZrALW&amp;nma=true&amp;si=zyDHUqfq82rE%252B39qIJ3hXmF2VQw%253D&amp;orig_cvip=true&amp;rt=nc&amp;_trksid=p2047675.l2557" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/SCARCE-1800-039-S-4-BANK-OF-AUGUSTA-GEORGIA-OBSOLETE-CURRENCY-/132316745028?hash=item1eceb14d44:g:LtAAAOSwCXxZrALW&amp;nma=true&amp;si=zyDHUqfq82rE%2B39qIJ3hXmF2VQw%3D&amp;orig_cvip=true&amp;rt=nc&amp;_trksid=p2047675.l2557</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I guess I had a first-hand experience of what dealers do best: Rip off the ignorant.</p><p><br /></p><p>Lesson learned: no wifi, no deal.
