 I literally just looked at the 2 $100 bills I have and this was one of them so it's probably not too rare. It's too big of a bill for me to save though. |

I just created a new thread about this... I came across 3 x 2006 $100 Star notes today (they were in sequential order, but not perfectly sequential because a few notes were missing in between).

Yeah J-Win that would be a spender for sure. For modern big head bills unless it is in a pcgs or pmg holder in 67PPQ condition or above OR It has a fancy serial number like 22222222, full radar, etc, It is generally a spender. If it has a fancy serial and it is in top notch condition (GEM+ condition), then there is a very nice premium on it.
Ghostrider, there is countless ways collectors do their collecting. There are plenty of common ways the general community collects and then some people get really creative in their collecting. For example I once saw someone who specifically collected VERY Low quality grade notes in PCGS Holders. They would be rated from 1 to 4 and it was just really interesting to think what the note went through all these years.
Now Yes the date series and bank of issue most definitely affects the value and rarity of the note.
For example lets look at the 1928 Numerical $5 FRN note.
They printed 12,320,052 of these notes from the Chicago district and an UNC example of such note is estimated at $235
Now if we look at, $5 bills 1928 from Kansas City, There were 4,480,800 bills printed with an UNC example estimated at $450
So it most definitely matters which Federal reserve bank these notes came from. It could Greatly affect the value!

I can't just sit on a $100 bill in average condition I saw one sell for $125 on ebay. It wasn't anything special, just a star note. No special date or serial number. The guy even had a greater than 10 day handling period, so surely you can sell yours for at least 25 over face and make money on them. |

Don't forget shipping! Hope that wasn't included in the $125 sum. It's not easy making a profit on ebay anymore with the new fee structure. |

I really don't get what you guys are saying about ebay fees. I really don't think they are bad. Total profit on the star selling for $125 should have been about $120. The ebay fee on something that sells for about $100 is about $3. Shipping would be about $2 in a bubble envelope. What I really don't get is people selling things for less than $10. You seriously aren't making any money on those. |

Last I checked between ebay and PayPal (which is owned by ebay anyways) you're losing about 12%...so you'd clear about $110 assuming you overcharge enough on shipping to cover the fees since they apply to that amount too. |

The fact about fees aside, I am not sure why someone would pay for a star note modern $100 if the SN wasn't anything special. If the buyer resides in the U.S. they could just attain one of those at the local bank for face value. The only reason there might be a buyer at $125 would be if they resided in a foreign country and happened to want a set of modern U.S. currency. In such case, shipping should definitely not be free. *Edit:Then again it is ebay, so anything goes. Edited by Woodford

Well, that's the thing about the $100 star note. The guy clearly said no international shipping, so it was someone in the U.S. I really can't understand it either, but someone gave it. I have sold $10 star notes for about $5 over value before to people in the U.S. most of them didn't have a special serial number either. I really guess some people are just to lazy to search the banks.  |

Being a teller myself, I have 8 $100 star notes in my cash drawer. I found two uncirculated new $100 style star notes and bought one of them. I only started paying attention to serial numbers and star nots about a month ago when the new $100 were released and a coworker explained the value of fancy notes. Since then I have found 19 star notes, so they seem pretty easy to come by.

A $100 note selling on ebay has to go for at least $119 (all included) to break even after fees, postage and face cost. Here's my face cost star note set. I wonder if I could make anything on it at ebay. I'd guess not much as none of the notes were very special. https://goccf.com/t/149261&SearchTe...tar,note,set |
