The first 3 notes have a c/v of over $20000 each and minimum average c/v for the remainder is about $1600 if his grading is accurate so total c/v would be at least $86000 but potentially much more.I would say that if you budget to spend $30000 you would be getting a serious bargain

Well that is some serious value there. It will be interesting to see what the winning bid will be on ebay. Personally I would have put them in a auction house. Timing plays a big part too, And with it also being the xmas period, it may be harder to get the highest price. I wouldn't be surprised to see these notes go for an absolute bargain. |

If it was me selling them I would auction them seperately because I think he's going to lose a lot of money
in one foul swoop by selling them as one lot

That is quite a fire sale.
The market is pretty soft at the moment for star notes. The recent Status International auction had most of them left unsold and the latest 2013 McDonald guide has down graded the values by a large amount.
It might be a good time to pick some up

Its a bit silly to sell them all at once like that. Single lots realise higher total prices in most cases.

I agree that multiple lots would have been a better idea for the seller.
Many people would be interested in these notes but unable to afford the tens of thousands they may fetch. However, they might be able to afford one or two notes for a few hundred or a few thousand dollars each. That would mean more bidders which usually drives the bid price up quickly.

Personally I would never bid of a banknote which I haven't viewed first, just my 2 cents worth, they are impossible to grade and/or tell if they have been cleaned. Are you from Victoria, if you can view and smell them before paying for them then I would say go for it.

im not convinced dcoin, I think starnotes are rare enough to gamble a bid. However, for $10,000+ it's a different kettle of fish!
-- agree with others, piece them off individually!!

Dcoin; exactly as I my opinion would lie.
Cleaned/bleached?
Pressed?
Re-coloured?
Repeaired?
Could this be part of the reason they're selling as a bulk lot?
Mill Park is a scumy area of Melbourne...so are they stolen?
It wouldn't be hard to pull out a set & put them in a pocket. The sellers lastest buying feedback includes a random lot of 4 cheap (less than $15) coins (none of which are Australian.
Seller hasn't sold for a long time...seller has lots of private selling history.
NO RETURNS!! (only Paypal Insurance...if the amount hits $30 odd thousand & you pay $20k through Paypal, you'll be losing any extra dollar above the $20k mark)
By the way, who would pay $20k+ with Paypal anyway?
You'd have to have a look for sure. It's not a $100 note, or even a $1000 note so I'd be taking a decent look for sure.
It's a pity I'm in Enworb territory till the 30th of December, otherwise I would've gone up to Mill Park (about a 40 min drive from where I normally am.
To me it seems that the weaknesses outweigh the strengths by a longshot.
Mind you, the photos are dismal. If you're even going to place a big bid on them, you'd at least want to be seeing large scaled, high quality, detailed images.
I've just messaged the seller:
"Hi there, is there any chance of looking at the items in person?
I need to see them in person before I'd be placing a bid, just to be sure that they haven't been cleaned, bleached, pressed, re-coloured or repaired? I'm in the Eastern suburbs.
Cheers."

Thats a bit harsh saying that Mill Park is a "scumy" area of melbourne.
Lots of good people live in the Northern suburbs and plenty of genuine collectors.

The bidding is up to $16,000 which I think is about right. Thats $1,000 per note which is all I would be prepared to pay "as is". I agree with goatieman though that it does seem a bit "sus" that someone who has never bought or sold coins on ebay before would suddenly have a listing like this. |

+1 on Goatieman To add there should be scans of the notes not poor pixelated photos from across the room, I can't imagine the ebay and Paypal fees ~2K. I have seen that the guy has listed this multiple times, the bidding has gotten to 25g and he's not happy. +1 Enworb Should sell individual ones instead of bulk buy. He must be in need of the money. Hmmmm..... Maybe 30g-40g if I had the money or a winning lottery ticket. Edited by quang

With still 19 hours to go it should hit the 25g mark I reckon, and that would probably be the max..............maybe.
