1937 $10 Gdn/Twr consecutive s# X 6 in solid unc. but $?

News: Registration is free here at the CPMF!

Hi folks,  Thought I might have better luck here...
Newbie just found this excellent and very informative forum yesterday and registered today.  Hope I'm not long winded boring with this but I recently came across a number of 1937 $10 bills.  6 of them have consecutive serial #s from D/D8315383 to D/D8315388 and are signed Gordon/Towers.  They were in a bank safety deposit box for many years and are in the most wonderful condition of any bills I have ever seen including brand new ones from the bank so I know they are unc. but to what degree, I'm not that knowledgeable as I see many classes of unc.  One has a bit of an off centred back, one has a couple of very small pinch like marks and one has a small crease near a corner.  They are otherwise pristine in my opinion - no folds creases or rounded corners - they look like just minted.  I will likely eBay them in the very near future (I have listed an odd ball one on eBay just to test the waters - seller patmagoo74).  Wondering if I should break them up and sell in smaller lots or let all 6 go as a set?  Also, if anyone could indicate a value I would appreciate that info as this is all kind of new to me. 
Thanks sincerely,
Dave

 Hi Dave,  Welcome to the forum. I think if they were mine I would sell them in groups of  2 or 3 in each lot with mention of the other lots with notes in sequence. You may want to get them graded by a third party first. Here is a link to a service offered by Colonial Acres in Kitchener.

  Also here is a link to what some members have said about this service.

  You will get an idea of what they'll sell for from your current auction, groups of 2 or 3 should sell for a little more. If this one sells for $140 then your other notes should sell for about $160- $175. each note and maybe more if you get two buyers that want 4 or all 6 notes in sequence and start a bidding war.

Thank a bunch Gary.  That sounds like most sound advice.

Well, test the waters, I did.  The unc 1937 10 that I listed last week came off last night for a whopping $55.00.  While I congratulate the winning bidder - we all strive for a great deal -  I have 6 other unc. consecutive #s and no intention of sacrificing them on eBay.  As I am relatively unfamiliar with the currency collecting hobby, is $55.00 (the winning bid price) what I should have been reasonably expected for a pristine note or is it the market just not there ?  Or could it be the protest "boycott" against eBay that I just read about that is currently underway?

personally I would have posted the note on the forum first.. It cost you nothing.
I would have paid you that price NO EBAY FEES    NO PAYPAL FEES

I do agree that eBay and PayPal fees have become prohibitive for sellers.  I had hoped that by describing the bills I have on this forum (my original post)some genuine interest might have been generated among avid collectors in the form of inquiries but that hasn't materialized nor do I really detect much activity in the "buy sell trade" pages.

Personally I would not approach someone and ask them if they are interested in selling their notes since many people strictly want advice, opinions, or just information.
Not until an item is actually placed on the TRADING POST or there is a specific statement made that the notes are now available would I inquire.
I know not all members will agree with me, but sometimes members simply post notes for general interest sake.  If I inquired about buying every note that someone posted I think some people would not appreciate it.
Only my opinion

What you are saying makes perfect sense.  I will consider using the Trading Post in the near future for these notes with some pics.
Thanks for the advice.
Dave

I echo Squids comments.
Having said that, i'll send you a PM about your notes now that I know your intention.
