NEW Dead Wood Policy

Dead Wood Policy   

A long overdue policy in dealing with people who I have emailed informing them that they have a potential match to their bill's serial number and who have either not responded in over a year, or evaded providing photo proof that they own the bill they registered in my database (also known as 'The List').

ANYONE NOT RESPONDING TO MY VARIOUS ATTEMPTS
TO CONTACT YOU OVER THE SPAN OF 1 YEAR WILL AUTOMATICALLY
BE REMOVED FROM THE LIST. NO EXCEPTIONS. I DO NOT CARE IF YOU
HAVE 1 OR 1000 BILLS REGISTERED; YOU HAVE WASTED BOTH MY TIME
AND THE TIME OF THE OTHER PERSON THAT HAS THE MATCHING BILL TO
TO THE BILL THAT YOUR SUPPOSEDLY HAVE; NOT TO MENTION RAISING
THEIR HOPES THAT THEY OWN HALF OF A MATCHED PAIR!




The matchmaking table has been updated as such, and the various people and their serial number removed from the database.  They also get to be part of the new 'Hall of Shame' at the bottom of the webpage. Congratulations, wanker!

48 potential matched pairs, which if they were put together, graded and auctioned for an average of $5,000 would come to a total of $240,000.   

NEWS

Sometimes when two people start negotiating what they will do with their matched pair, they can reach an impass.  Perhaps both want to buy the bill from the other guy, or they are only interested in selling and are asking an unreasonable price, or simply 'something about the other guy' breeds mistrust. Aside: kinda reminds me on online dating.

Anyhow, one such impass has resulted in one bill owner putting their note up for auction on Ebay for $2,450.  The bill is considered Mint State as it was taken directly from a new (BEP) bundle of bills.  That auction is [HERE]

The matched pair for serial number was verified on May 6th in this [blog post].  All I can disclose is that the other bill owner is eager in selling the pair at auction.
