Can anyone recommend a source to get a good deal on the Commerce Bank issues of 1935 or 1917, or whatever. Really like them...especially the $20. Trying to find a better deal than ebay. Is there a website of a dealer I might not be able to find through Googling? Looking for VF condition, but would consider Fines.

Wanted to comment on my own post to raise my post count. :)
Extra post removed. We don't play those games here.

Cheaper than eBay? Wow, that IS cheap.
I have a number of Commerce notes. Not sure I want to entertain any offers less than eBay, lol.

Hey, when you sell on the 'bay, you lose about 12% to 15% in fees. That's why good old fashioned internet buy and sell boards are making a comeback.
-
On higher price items, it's possible to keep the seller fees down under 10%, including PayPal. Even at 15%, that's better than entertaining offers that are 30-40% below what a little bit of competition might produce. If private boards are so much better than eBay for sellers, why would the buyers want to leave eBay?

There was a 1917 Canadian Bank of Commerce $20 (small signature) graded PMG VF25 in the latest TCNS auction in Calgary. It had a reserve of $465 and did not sell. I am sure it will appear in their next auction. An extremely nice XF (not graded) small signature note was sold to a dealer on the bourse at the RCNA for $900 with both the seller and buyer pleased with the transaction.

The Canadian Bank of Commerce 1917 Logan (small) $20 now appears in the lastest TCNC September auction. There are no reserves in this auction but the current estimate is $900-$1000. It's nice to know the market is so strong.

The 1927 Bank of Commerce $20 (graded PMG25) sold for $407.10 plus taxes and shipping. A PMG15 sold for $324.20 plus tax and shipping.
I have yet to buy a TPG note and wish (probably in vain) that more dealers would use BCS.
I guess Gresham's Law is still valid.
