plz tell your brother to stop being a ****** and take the auctions down

You can still exchange those for Euro at a rate of 2.20371 Guilder/Euro, until 2025/2032.

Putting up auctions by a user with 0 feedback is going to lose you a ton of potential money from serious collectors scared of getting scammed. Get those down like NOW and put them back up with an account that has some history if you don't want to lose significant profit.

lol @ snap listing them on ebay with a zero feedback account

Dude, antiques roadshow.

Yeah, you should probably take down that auction. I don't know the rules but yeah...take it down.

Definitely take them down. Never post items on Ebay that have a potential high selling price when you have zero feedback. A lot of buyers will see the zero and wont even bother.

You really should get these notes appraised before looking to sell them.

These are all part of my grandfather’s foreign currency collection. They were left to my mother, then left to me. I know almost nothing about them. I will do the best I can to answer any and all questions quickly. If you’re looking, then I’m guessing you know what they are

I will be posting hundreds and hundreds of auctions for foreign currency from around the world over the next few weeks. Russia, Viet Nam, China, Germany and many others. The conditions vary, but the scans should show it accurately.

Also, this ebay account was created specifically to sell items that used to belong to my mother. I have a few thousand ebay transactions under my belt, so you don’t have to worry about dealing with an inexperienced seller


No offense but this screams scam. With the smiley faces and everything. And the "I have no idea what their worth lol" Take the time to pack them up and drive to the City to find someone who knows what their worth. You could have notes worth 1000's of dollars. Or the could be worthless. But posting them on ebay with 0 feedback and that terrible description is leaving money on the table.

this

WTF!?!?! He posted 100 auctions for these things. I figured it was just a handful of the nicer ones.

I'mma take 'em down right now and stomp ass when I see him.

Good looking out y'all.

Your brother is dumb. Put HIM on ebay ffs.

Yeah, the more I look at the auctions, the more pissed off I am. It's not like we're in a freaking hurry. Not only that, but why the hell would he list 16 separate auctions for the same item?!?!?! I'm glad ebay has a 100 item limit for new accounts or they'd all be posted be now I bet. Even the 5 Nazi bills.

Out of the 100 that are posted, there are 20 with bids adding up to about $110. A couple have some serious heat and a guy asked if he could buy 1 of the Chinese ones outside of ebay for $30 each (2 of the same).

Based on that, ebay could be worth it after talking to a couple of experts and actually having a real ad. Or perhaps just for the crappy ones in bulk after the good ones are sold off.

Get it off eBay bro. Research and appraisal. Find out what u have. Wtf is the rush

in b4 pics of brother's bloody face.

Can you take auctions down after they have been up? I've never used ebay.

DC,

I really want to hear your brother's rationale for putting old collectibles up on eBay when you have absolutely no idea whether they are worth $5 or $5,000.

Then would be good to hear your rationale for using a brand new zero-feedback eBay account to sell off a ton of stuff rather than using one with long established trust/history.

Edit: I guess you mentioned earlier it was so multiple of you could share access to the account. LOL @ the fact that you guys have eBay experience and came up with that decision.

Edit2: Oh man, maybe this was all a setup/scam by your brother! Sick.... !!!

i woulkd be suprised if its worth getting most of them appraised, at least in the case of the german currency.
these are a lot more common than you would expect.
especially the huge demonination bills these are from the post world war1 era of hyperinfaltion in germany and were printed like money was going out of style soon.
actually they couldnt print enough bills so they just took old small demonination bills and stamped a few zeros on it.

I'm 5'4" and he is 6' (different dads) so instead, a major belittling and pics of sad face?

Yeah. It's easy.

Haven't asked him yet. I only texted him and told him I'm pulling them. I'm guessing he figured ebay users would decide their worth.

The rationale for using a new account was just so we could all have access, like I said. Might not've been the best decision, but we're located in CA, AZ and KS (all in AZ for the next could of days) and it didn't seem like a bad idea at the time. We didn't find these until we had already decided to do it. Most of the stuff we'll be selling we're just selling it to sell it. None of us have a use for it and we're treating it like a garage sale. But these bills changed the game.

All but the ones with bids are pulled. There is one guy who bid on like 15 of them, so I'm sending him a message (WTF at only being able to message 1 user a day?) to tell him that they're being pulled but might be reposted in the future when we have more info.

I'm starting with the Chinese ones for appraisal first. Those seem to be the best bills. I think with an online-style appraisal, it won't be too bad. At least to know if it's worth all of the trouble. If it seems there are some real gems, then I'll have it done professionally or something.

I would like to officially pile on brother for the zero feedback account wtf

DC,

If you take it into a shop they'll usually be happy to take a look and give you a ballpark idea of what the stuff is worth. You don't need an actual appraisal unless it's really high value stuff you want to auction or you want it for insurance purposes or something.

Nah, that was all of three of us that decided to do that.

Him posting these on that account without saying anything... Yeah, that was ****ing stupid.

That's what I'm doing as soon as I get back to LA. I'm sure there are a ton of places like that there.

I'm guessing there are probably 30-40 really valuable ones, then the rest are $1-5 each, if that.

Don't be shy about buying a book and doing some research yourself. Most coin shops are not run by Rick Harrison types and will try to rip you off. Even if you have no intention of selling to the coin shop, their lowball prices might mislead you and you're back where you started.

i was going to rip on this so hard but i can't even muster up the enthusiasm to do so. i'm simply more baffled than angry. i keep rereading it assuming i'm missing something important.
