Chris Wilson Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Early serial numbers are desirable to numismatics. A really low number is probably worth a hell of a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 A few of those 99p fivers will do me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 A few of those 99p fivers will do me. I'd go a bit higher for nice clean ones Seems over a thousand fold mark up is possible for very low number notes already: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-5-note-AA01-serial-plastic-Polymer-/172351345771?hash=item2820f0d46b:g:CxYAAOSwLF1X5FMt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Massey Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 £870 for a new fiver, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BRAND-NEW-AA01-5-POUND-NOTE-PLASTIC-POLYMER-UNCIRCULATED-SERIAL-NUMBER-/252547704547?nma=true&si=gx%252BXTl%252B3GUdA39N3cO77vGfFAfI%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 He claims uncirculated but it obviously is. I'd get the fiver then put in a dispute for false advertising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianhid Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Same thing as collecting stamps. There are more nutters who want a 'first edition' low serial number note than there are people selling the notes. I may or may not have withdrawn a bunch of fivers (easier said than done finding the feckers!) and cashed them back in again in the hopes of getting a 'good one' to sell...

Alex_GT Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 I thought that selling any form of currency that is still in circulation for more than it's actual value was illegal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_GT Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 I'm also pretty sure eBay prohibits the selling of currency still in circulation, so who knows, I guess people just do whatever they want now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianhid Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Not sure on selling for more than actual value, you technically buy and sell money whenever you're doing a foreign exchange and that's open market. eBay can ban it all they want, they don't even bother checking sellers are paying VAT, I doubt they're too bothered as long as they get their cut.
