Bought on ebay 30 April 2006 for £92.48 and sold for £127, not too bad.
It's now near impossible to find a Scottish "square" £1 note for under £100, even low grade ones. Does anyone consider this note to be "aVF"? Billy http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=270047921832 |

With all the dirt and limp looking note, I'd grade it VG. But then I'm
always a conservative grader. note.boy wrote: Bought on ebay 30 April 2006 for £92.48 and sold for £127, not too bad.

I'm glad I'm not the only one to consider it overgraded, it's very mucky and
worn, a fine at best, possibly a VG as you say. If our grading opinion is correct the buyer overpaid I think. The seller has 100% feedback so maybe we're too tough?

Maybe there is no such thing as overpaid in an auction. If you are
willing to bid over the next bidder, you establish the market price. I don't think 100% feedback has anything to do with bid prices. note.boy wrote: I'm glad I'm not the only one to consider it overgraded, it's very mucky and worn, a fine at best, possibly a VG as you say.

This is very interesting. I didn't know people actually bid more
because the seller has high feedback. I'm speaking only from my own experience though. If the seller has many negative feedbacks, I'd avoid him. Other than that I bid only how much I want to pay for the note on its own merit. Owen W. Linzmayer wrote: I disagree with the comment about feedback. I have a lot of experience selling items on eBay and Amazon, and I am proud of my feedback, which is 99.8% and 98% positive, respectively, with thousands of transactions under my belt. I know for a fact that I receive higher prices for my items based upon my feedback. On Amazon Marketplace I used to match lowest prices for similar items of the same condition. Then I started matching the average of the lowest five sellers with similar feedback. Often I would sell items for several times more money than what others were asking, and the only differences between us was the feedback.

I agree that a low feedback probably is more likely to discourage bidding in
the first place, and not all bidders may decide to bid more for an item from a highly rated seller. However, I think if condition of a note is in question, you are probably more likely to trust a highly rated seller and therefore bid with confidence rather than temper your bid based on the suspicion that a note may actually be of lower grade than represented.

And I have a veritable gold mine of square £1 notes sitting in a safe deposit box. They have even out performed gold as a long term investment. But alas whilst I can part with the newer stuff, they sit comfortably in their repose. And some nice rares like Caledonians and North of Scotland and Town and County Bank. Poor note.boy would have to trade away the Beemer and the equines to buy them now |

Poor note.boy would have to trade away the Beemer and the equines to buy them now As an investment it would be difficult to find better, I'm repeatedly astounded at the ever incensing auction prices achieved, why did I not buy more of them 10+ years ago? :-( Just 10 years ago a really nice square could be had for around £50 now a ratty one will be around the £100 mark.
