<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ronterry, post: 1340043, member: 28569&quot;]After catching our buddy doing it yet again today, I think I have his partial eBay buyers user name he uses.</p><p>f***w ( private )</p><p><br /></p><p>Just beware if you track down a matching note with the winning bidder with that name. It&#039;s very obvious he buys notes and flips them on eBay after he bleaches the crap out of them (The paper is almost blueish, it&#039;s that bad!), so if you guys are selling on eBay and see this guy as the winning bidder - grill em! I think he&#039;s up in the pacific northwest but I could be wrong.</p><p>You guys that got skunked buy him, let us know the city. You don&#039;t need to give his address, cause I don&#039;t want to be responsible for what could happen. (You can PM me if you wish to stay anonymous)</p><p><br /></p><p>The guy is destroying these notes forever, for a profit. It&#039;s one thing to restore a very very very rare banknote with only 2 in the world but to bleach 1928 $20 Gold Certs - NO it&#039;s pure profit motive! It&#039;s killing me people are buying these without this knowledge! </p><p><br /></p><p>BTW: this is what brought him back on the radar... Avoid this one.</p><p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/1928-20-Twenty-dollars-Gold-certificate-note-coin-bill-/120837189718?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&amp;hash=item1c22753056" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/1928-20-Twenty-dollars-Gold-certificate-note-coin-bill-/120837189718?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&amp;hash=item1c22753056" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/1928-20-Twenty-dollars-Gold-certificate-note-coin-bill-/120837189718?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&amp;hash=item1c22753056</a></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]154085.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>He did what looks like a some moderate bleaching to remove sludge on the edges, and most certainly ironed it.

The camera white balance looks off a little from the sellers photo giving it a yellowish tint, but it&#039;s not crazy white till NWood got his hands on it!
