1928-D $2.00 Red Seal US note - AU Condition, beautiful! $1 open
NR!

I am still trying to figure out what sells (and doesn't sell) on
ebay. Still trying to decide whether to put my coins up, but
things like this are discouraging. This looks like a nice $2.00
note but is getting little bidding. I have seen a $2.00 note of
this same issue go for nearly $50.00. Go figure - - - -

The fact that this listing has very little bidding has absolutely
nothing to do with the where the auction will end up. At the time I
clicked the link, there were 3.5 days to go on the listing.

Most bids are placed at the end of an auction. I've had many items go
for six days and eleven-plus hours without any bid at all, and then go
for a higher price than I anticipated. Sometimes I don't even check
my auctions for activity for the first six days.

The only to know what certain items are going for is to search
"completed items only". If that's too much trouble, mark on-going
auction as "Watch this item" and wait until they show up as completed
to see the final bid price.
