This lot would have been picked clean I would guess
Wow.!!:shok:
That's massive. They never give much information unfortunately and are usually vague..."we can't say for sure if they've been checked". They've probably been combed over several times. 40 cents per penny is not cheap.
True Dreamcatcher, they're not particularly cheap, but if I had $12.8k that I didn't know what to do with, I'd do it for the pure thrill of noodling them to see.
You'd probably find just as many keepers by noodling one kilo 300 times. :diablo:
:laugh2: .... very good Fulvio!
Yeah it would be fun but you'd probably end up losing money on the lot. Even if you sold them for the same price you'd lose ebay or other auction fees of around $1000. So you'd definetely be paying for the fun.
Imagine the freight charge for 300kgs!!! Nice concept, but you'd want to inspect before you shelled out $12k on this lot.
the listing:
Postage:
Free Local Pickup
Will arrange for local pickup only (no postage).
NO PICK UP'S ALLOWED it is not an option under any circumstance unless stated, we do combine postage.
Postage can be arranged via courier at your own cost.
and so on
and they say that they are a business?????
i'm seeing a lot of kangaroos in there - at $42.66 kilo + post - wanna be good
Yes Robbiegal, I noticed the contradiction on pickup earlier.
I'd imagine they used their standard template (which probably says no pickup) and forgot to change it.
I was just amazed at the volume for a single ebay lot.
over the year I have probably sold over 300 kilos
just not all at once!

At what price? All noodled of course, yeah?
I usually list at $25 a kilo (now - used to be $20 per kilo) - a very good mix of all monarchs
I have bought from the bigger dealers and their mixed lots usually have but a handful of KGV and that being 1919, 1922's and 1936 so I always make sure that the customer gets years across the decades
I even make sure that the K.G's in the 1940 and 1941 are in the lot as well
noodle - wot's that (ha ha)
Who would even have the cash to gamble on these off ebay no one sane would buy them
Quoteno one sane would buy them
Indeed, that's exactly why if I had a spare $12.8k I'd do it for the fun of it. (Maybe I'd haggle and have a quick squiz beforehand).
Now where did I put my tablets ........
You should buy this sack of $2 coins I'm about to go swap. A steal at only $80 per coin. I can't guarantee you'll find anything, or that they haven't been previously noodled, but it could be fun. :diablo:
I would never ever ever buy a lot like this from a dealer for any more than face or scrap value, both of which are substantially below $12.8k, and anyone who would is certifiable or a candidate for this bridge I'm selling. ;)
Sorry Fulvio, I've already put my deposit on that coat hanger shaped one! Comes complete with climbing tour business and fireworks business I believe!
(The sight of coin bags in the lot suggests they perhaps have been sorted in some way).
I'm never likely to have $12.8k that I don't need, so it's purely a "I would love to noodle them dream".

My noodling dream is to spend a day at Armaguard just after a mint delivery comes in. :)
Yes Fulvio, that would be nice too.
Saw a lovely pile of $10 paper at the bank on Tuesday, just handed in (my guess about $400-$500), would that Branch part with it ........ nope! Their reason, by law they must send it back to the RBA. Dreambreakers!!!!! Lol.

Bollocks. There is no such law according to the RBA.

Would not hurt to ask which law. Tell them you will come back later to find out.
Jeff
He's trying to flog them off on facebook now for $30 a kg

Thanks Fulvio & Jeff, yes I'd reckon it would be "their" law. Might just do that. (So they can tell me that the notes are not there anymore or some other bs).

I asked for official confirmation, and once I get it, plan on taking it further with the banks.
I can live with that kind of BS. After all, how do I know if they've got any or not? What I can't handle is being lied to by someone claiming "that's the law" when clearly its not.
Yes, a similar principle applies in supermarkets when they don't even know how their own offers work and try to make up some garbage that they try to feed you.

Let me know when you get a reply.
