I allowed myself to buy a Series 1990 $50 from a seller who was saying it was an ink bleed through. However, it was just a wet ink transfer that was extremely common for that series. I didn't buy it for the error, but that the condition of the note matched the price in the book. Not defending scammers ever, but sometimes what they don't know can be in your favor. I did tell the guy what it actually was, but he insists, so he still has another one still sitting in his display case that likely won't be bought.
Ebay got wise to the shipping dodge years ago and has been charging a commission on shipping for at least 10 years if not 15. Also there is no such thing as no returns. Any item can be returned if the buyer feels it was not described correctly no matter what the seller says or does.
Keeping eBay currency safe from grammar and spelling too!. I get his original point - you do call people a scammer right of the bat. (I don't think you're wrong but if looking at nothing else but his first reply in email you do call them a scammer right away. But thanks for going to his store to support that he is scamming. Maybe a softer touch on the first email contact?) Thanks for what you do Stu!
hi, ive got some old bank notes here with me (1956 1 YUAN uncirculated) i am thinking of sending to PMG for grading, my problem is that it is really too expensive as they charge per note and i have more than 20 pcs . and asking a PMG authorized dealerto send it for me would costme more as they charge 50dollars per note. id rather send it myself and pay the associate fee of 25usdollars or the next level which is 149usdollars. my question is, when sending these notes to PMG (after being a member) what are the payments i will make right away ? i understood the cost of grading and handling and what else would come AFTER my banknotes are graded right? at least if it takes 2 months , i have enough (hopefully enough time to come up with the cost of all the process. please tell me how much does it cost for the insurance and shipping or how much would i be shelling out before the turnaround. thanks for your reply.
@@SenaidaVaernes I have never sent notes myself. I have always gone through reputable dealers. Grading notes IS expensive. Just ballparking prices, for a single note it could run $80+ for grading, shipping and insurance. I assume about $40 per note and $40 more for S&H. If you send in many notes that spreads the S&H fees out to a more reasonable level. I know that is higher than they quote but it keeps me from sending in too many notes. I highly recommend just buying graded notes in the first place. It saves you the time and expense.
@@Stuplubakcurrency thank you for your reply. the thing is, these old banknotes were acquired by my husband when he sailed the first time to china in the 60s. he retired in 2006 as a captain. these notes has been kept since acquiring them.i intend to sell them after grading, maybe a consignment deal with the Heritage Auction. how long doest it take fr the turnaround pls?
@@Stuplubakcurrency the cheapest i have seen so far was 400usdollars for 1 uncirculated. mine was never been used after acquiring so i am sure between 65-70 grades for each.
@@SenaidaVaernes What someone is asking for it isn’t what it’s worth. I have no idea what they are worth but I would be certain I knew what it was worth BEFORE I send it in.
So many are insistent that this is an ink bleed through. If they’d only educate themselves first. Thank you for informing us here!💕
Omg that was a hilarious video!
That one note looks like someone spilled their vodka and cranberry on it

@@SenaidaVaernes Find out the value before you grade them. You might be spending $50 per note just to find out they are worth a dollar.

It’s hilarious that it actually was a wet ink transfer this time! 😂
