Ynnad Pillar of the Community United States 685 Posts	Posted 09/24/2024 7:08 pm I was at the bank cashing a check today and picked up a brand new strap ($200) of 2017A twos still in the B,E.P. wrapper. In less than an hour I flipped them for $220 without even trying. I made a point to tell the buyer that I couldn't promise that they were worth anything more than $200. What would you all have done?

jimbucks Pillar of the Community United States 4691 Posts	Posted 09/25/2024 07:49 am Was the charge $20 for lighting the pilot? #128518; Report this Post to the Staff
Ynnad Pillar of the Community United States 685 Posts	Posted 09/25/2024 10:43 am No charge for lighting the pilot light. (Not really, it's all included in the outrageous rent I pay every month.) It was pure profit. The only possible expense was the increased gasoline consumption during the ride home from the bank due to the increased weight of 100 two dollar bills compared to 2 one hundred dollar bills (about 3.5 avoirdupois ounces). Without doing any calculations, I am confident that this expense was much, much less than $0.01. Report this Post to the Staff

SteveInTampa Pillar of the Community United States 4637 Posts	Posted 09/25/2024 6:36 pm I put $2 notes in every birthday card I mail out and with 5 siblings and 3 children of my own, I keep 3 packs on hand. A friend on a different forum has the packs for sale at $215 per pack. People love 'em. Report this Post to the Staff

He knows already. Same guy for 10 years and he is part of the family that runs this outfit. Still, you are right, "Can't be too careful now a days." He has access to everything and he knows my schedule. Nonetheless, I am not too worried about this particular guy. Report this Post to the Staff
