Wow Mark1959, eating fish.... that's a super rare owl. The majority eat mice.
I'll assume the $50 super repeater is worth at least double, as a two digit radar, the value I see online is at face value. The $1 note online, I see it at $40 for a 2 digit radar. LEt me know if anyone can reinforce this values or object to them.
thx

I am very familiar with that page, but not pricing for super radar notes as is the 50 note. I ended up getting the the fifty note for $140 can. The one dollar note sold for $57. Oh well.... Plus there is no values on the low serial number notes only pictures  |

Just saw this post so I thought I put my Two Cents in The 7070707 Is a 2 digit class "A" repeater and the 4044404 is a 2 digit class "B" repeater The class A is harder to find than a class B In a sequential brick there is a possibly to find a nice set of three notes The radar the class A repeater and the class B repeater For example 3473473. Class A repeater 3473347. Class B repeater 3473743 Radar 3 digit |

Both are very nice notes any 2 digit radar note is a keeper in my eyes but $50 + 100 notes are hard to hang on to they add up fast.

I believe the 7070707 would be considered a Super Repeater. Just to clarify there is no super repeater This would be a 2 digit radar/class A repeater or what is more appropriately called a two digit cycle A very nice find Edited by friedsquid

TheBurnz, I've not heard of the term super repeater but Charlton does refers to the 1979 issue radars with the eleven digit serial numbers as a "super radar", maybe you got the term mixed up.
Cheers, Bill

Yup, mixed up the terms in the writing process. Your thoughts on me spending $150 on this note. To much...
Its in VF condition for me.

Its in VF condition for me. Sorry to say but in my opinion you over paid If the note was in UNC it would catalogue for that and the way the market is that would be overpaying |

I see, but does the catalog price really reflect the value. I had a note that cataloged for $1,300. I collector contacted me and offered me $2,000 for it. They said it was a very hard note to locate.
I get the note isn't in UNC condition and will only be something a entry level collector will buy, but is there some under evaluation to special serial number notes in the catalog's.... It has to be worth more then face value..

It has to be worth more then face value.. Sometimes yes sometimes no It is a guide and collectors need to be willing to take the time to learn and see what the market is doing... What was the note you are talking about and its condition? A note is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it but unless you want to keep it for a long time getting your money out will not be easy in my opinion I have been selling collecting and trading notes for a very long time and if you offered it to me for $100 I would say no thank you...

I couldn't refuse, although others have told me I will never see another. First of all let me say that the note is very nice As I have mentioned in another post the catalogue values are guides and should be treated as such.. Some notes are overvalued and some and undervalued The most important thing that I can say is that a collector must be aware of market trends if they want to get the best value for their buck, but some notes are just in more demand than others and some notes may just be more desirable to a collector for other reasons and they are willing to pay more just to get that specific note at that specific time. I personally have some notes that I would not sell for twice the catalogue price if offered at this time, however maybe down the road I would... It is not so much that a similar note could not be found, but I personally know how hard some were to obtain and the odds of getting one again would be difficult to say the least. When pricing notes in the catalogue many things must be taken into account...and the best way is to observe the market and see what sells and for how much. Dealer sales, auction sales, personal collectors sales, online sales, etc... Everyone realizes that the trend prices are not perfect but it gives one an idea...and remember prices are what the market will bear There will always be cases when a seller must sell (for whatever reason) and a buyer gets a deal or a buyer wants or needs LOL a specific note and overpays for whatever reason...it is all part of the hobby The other issue is are you collecting just because you enjoy it or are you seriously looking at this as an investment... everyone has their reasons |
