Title: What a shame
Post by: Gary_T on April 25, 2008, 10:41:51 am

Check out this auction. It is for a 1935 french $10. He sold it last week for $515.00 and cut it in half by mistake while under other paper. I wonder how much it will sell for now?

 I hope it's not a forum member.

 Ebay item # 320244423873  

Here is a pic.

It actually makes me feel a little sick seeing that.

I don't really understand. So he was gonna sell the bill and then he cut it by accident. Or did he just buy the bill for $515 and was trying to sell it again?

And i would be extremely mad if i did that. He seems very calm

My understanding is that he was cutting cardboard for packaging other notes and didn't realize the note was underneath.

The seller was at least extremely negligent to cut a such note by "accident"... :-\ :-\ :-\. 

Or absent-minded to what he was doing...  :'( :'( :'( 

I would hide under the carpet to admit that I cut a note by accident... :-[ :-[ :-[

Maybe with his "luck", he'll accidently slice the other side when he prepares to ship this out.   

I think having two sliced pairs are better than one!  He can consider it as a "set"... or better yet... turn this note into a collector's puzzle.   ;D

 As a whole note it sold for $515. after being cut in half it sold for $117.50.

It is a shame to cut a note in half. I sold a batch of notes to a company several years ago, and the guy in the office cut up a batch of notes, but they were not valuable, and they paid for them again.
