JobIII Valued Member United States 366 Posts	Posted 09/10/2012 1:55 pm I'm trying to make sense of Fancy notes and what I'm seeing on ebay every day... Is this a RADAR note: 04181814 Is this a REPEATER note: 04181818 Just curious. Thanks, ~JobIII Report this Post to the Staff

MadMortician Valued Member United States 397 Posts	Posted 09/10/2012 3:09 pm I'd say no to both because if I understand it correctly, the ENTIRE serial number has to follow the pattern, and both examples have a number or two in front that ruin the pattern. So close, but not quite. Report this Post to the Staff
GerrodH Valued Member United States 89 Posts	Posted 09/10/2012 3:23 pm I would say yes to the radar and no to the repeater. Report this Post to the Staff
JobIII Valued Member United States 366 Posts	Posted 09/10/2012 4:17 pm See I can understand why the repeater is not a keeper. I am tempted to hold the 0-RADAR, but I'm not really sure what kind of premium it'll get. Report this Post to the Staff

Nickelman Pillar of the Community United States 1397 Posts	Posted 09/11/2012 09:33 am Some would call that first one a mini radar. I would call it a spender. Terms like that are used to try to take a close but no cigar note and turn it into a fancy serial number. ebay is the worst for wasting my time when I am trying to find certain types of notes. The people that post notes throw out words like candy thinking they will entice someone to buy their junk serials. All it does is irritate me because I have to sort through a truckload of junk to try to find the number I am really looking for. For example do a search for "low serial number" and any note with at least ONE zero will come up. You will never be able to actually find a low serial on ebay unless you just accidently stumble across it. Report this Post to the Staff
wquinn Pillar of the Community United States 2295 Posts	Posted 09/11/2012 10:04 am Yes, it is the greed of the sellers changing the definitions to be so generic that they are worthless to use them for searching now. Report this Post to the Staff
