Hi everyone!

Found this seller on ebay with a ordinary $1, $2 and $5 note each listed for $3000 or $3200 buy it now. Hmm, why would you do this is my question?!?!? So you can get roughly $8 worth of notes for $9000 at best and then they have the nerve to ask for an extra $5 for postage (each item). Item numbers are below. Sorry I'm having trouble post links on my computer!

Item number: 110234445372 ($1)
Item number: 110234445103 ($2)
Item number: 110234444520 ($5)

April Fool's Day I reckon The thing is, in reality, the seller is the fool.

Man, thats ridiculous. I just sent them an email asking if they were drunk/high at the time of posting and which mental hospital they had escaped from. JK.

looking at the $5 it is not even in good condition, maybe I should try and get hold of more of the old notes that are in almost new condition that I see from time to time.

G'day, I know nothing about the vendor of the items referred to, above.
But, someone else has pointed out to me that offering items for sale, at ridiculously high prices, can form part of a larger transaction, intended to "launder" money.
As stupid as it seems, someone else, presumably an associate of the seller, or the seller under another identity, "buys" the goods ... and get this ... AND PAYS FOR THEM !
The "seller" then has a paper trail to explain funds deposited in his bank.
Nifty, eh ? And the lack of condition; lack of rarity; lack of every other desirable feature; has nothing to do with the price.

All three sales ended with no bids so I think it was just a prank or the result of a dare or some similar nonsense.
