I'm in shock at how high this went on Ebay
 

When I started this out at just 99 cents I had no idea it would
get to this. A couple of people wanted it badly.

Best auction I have ever had on Ebay.

Maybe $40-$50 It is rather scarce but the market for depression scrip
is fairly
thin compared to other areas of numismatics. A couple of the bidders
are
veteran collectors in this area so I guess they had a better idea than
I did on
what it is worth.

Nice! Congrats!

I'll bet you are glad that you didn't have a BIN in the range you thought it was worth.

I've sold scrip to both the high bidder and the underbidder,
and can attest that both are serious collectors (and quick
payers ...).

The underbidder has a very informative website on
Depression Scrip located at (not surprisingly ...)

Yeah, that would have been a disaster. Depression scrip is an area
that does not
have a track record of established values that are easy to look up.
The standard
catalog in this area was published in 1984 and hasen't been updated
since then.

I like to start them at 99 cents and just see what happens.

Congratulations, I don't understand why some people think that ebay is some
kind of evil organisation, where else could a seller get such a very
pleasant surprise for such a small outlay.

I suggest that you invest your new found wealth in LEGS, the new grading
company due to sweep the numismatic world off its feet. :-) Billy

Do you think perhaps the buyer may have been confused because the note
in the photo was not the one up for auction???
