A polymer note with a fold is almost impossible to repair, like most bills condition is everything for pricing.

Repair is the wrong term, some regular almost unc were placed in books or other heavy items to press them flat

Especially on older series, when you press a note it flattens the embossing. Most experienced collectors are able to notice this.

Accordint to ebay rules: Under what conditions can I retract a bid? Whether you can retract a bid depends on the circumstances and timing of the bid. You can retract a bid for the following reasons: You accidentally entered the wrong bid amount due to a typographical error. For example, you bid $99.50 instead of $9.95. If this happens, you need to reenter the correct bid amount right away. Changing your mind does not qualify as accidentally entering a wrong bid amount. The item's description changed significantly after you entered your last bid. For example, the seller updated details about the item's features or condition. You can't reach the seller by telephone or email. What if I can't retract a bid? If you can't retract a bid, you can contact the seller to request that your bid be canceled. The decision to cancel a bid is up to the seller. ---- So it seems that you accepted it right? |

There is no accepting a bid retraction, you simply tell ebay that you entered the wrong amount, they allow the retraction, and you are supposed to re-enter your bid immediately afterwards (not enforced). I believe the bill was at $100 when he placed his $400 bid, so it's not as if he made a typo and meant $40. The only reasonable typos are $300 and $500. $500 doesn't make sense for a retraction, so barring a response from him as to why, I'll have to assume it was a $300 typo. Albeit, I don't believe that, and I think he just changed his mind, or wanted to mess with the auction for some reason. |

It happens from time to time, usually on higher priced items.

I was telling a coworker about this note today, and suddenly he says to me "You mean those (solids) are worth something? I've had one in my wallet for 25 years". Naturally, I'm expecting that he didn't understand the concept, but he pulls out a 1973 series $1 bill with serial number AAE1111111. Are you kidding me - apparently I'm the only person around who doesn't have one of these sitting around, and I actually look for them!
The note is beat up, it was folded in 4 in his wallet, the corners are folded over, and it's got about 5 minor tears along the edges. From my reading, it's either G or VG. What do you guys think this should fetch?

An unc 1974 solid graded notes are around a 1000.00 at the TCNC sale, it gives you idea what a folded note will be worth.

Tough to say what it would sell for in such a low grade. Most Solid Radar Collectors prefer Unc, and sometimes AU. However, being in bad condition is also a plus for people who can't afford one in Unc condition.
I would guess $125-$175
