Good spotting nancy!
A 3 cent trade for an acetoned $10 note from trolololololololo.
Closed at 1:41am this morning, with feedback posted within 2 minutes commenting on the fast shipping and bargain price.
The template looks very familiar...
It's got shonky written all over it.

 Good work Nancy. Yes a whole 2 minutes for the note to go from left hand to right hand. |

Quote:What I'd like to see is someone (wink wink nudge nudge) to put up a dummy sale on ebay for a similarly treated note, and explain that they are totally fake 'errors' and have a ridiculous starting price, say $5000 so no-one will be silly enough to actually bid, but perhaps any prospective bidder will get educated in the process, and it might go a long way towards curtailing the activities of these creeps. Its a good idea Nancy. Ironically though the listing would be in breach of ebay guidelines and they could pull the listing. |

Acetoned $10 note AA 07 664 729: Listed first by notes_au and auction removed - "The seller ended the listing early and cancelled all bids" on the 29th. Also listed by trolololololololo and sold for $125 on the 30th. |

I have a somewhat unfortunate incident to report this evening.
After opening a new tin of acetone, I inadvertently managed to splash some of it on the corner of a brand new, lower end consecutive, $5 note. In a fervent rush to remove the acetone, I attempted to use a cotton bud to clean it up.
Much to my horror, I found it was not only cleaning up the spill, but also removing all traces of the multiple passes of coloured underprint, as well as the raised overprinting used for the value, portraits and micro-printing.
I am very lucky that this spillage did not cover the entire side of the note, otherwise I'm concerned it could have ended up totally blank!
Photo forthcoming in due course to show the damage...

I consider myself extremely lucky nancy. After all, look at how big the acetone spill was that enworb had to clean up... Anyway, here's the damage:  As for notes_au, I notice his earlier photos were watermarked with qban1610. Has his account name been changed? I'd be assuming the q is short for Quang, although still waiting for a ban. |

Couldn't get it to display using the link above (probably because of the private listing or something), but found it by the item number in the link. This should work http://www.ebay.com/itm/221172498007?I did note he (or a person with the same name living in the same city) was on this site around 1:00am this morning. Must have had sore fingers from all the typing the day before as he didn't type anything. PS: FNQ, yes it was his previous user_id in ebay. If you click on the notes_au part in ebay, it will display next to the name and feedback count an icon of two heads with an arrow going to the one on the right (means a name change in the past month), click this icon and it will show you the changes.
