Default $2 Premium Fed Set Sales at BEP

The BEP has begun sales of the long awaited Federal Reserve Sets of 12
notes, one each from the Fed Districts with a star note and super low serial
numbers, beginning at 00000001* up to 00002000*. The official release date
is today, November 8.

HOWEVER, I can verify that there were some pre-release sales on Friday,
November 5 taken over the phone!!!

Thus, those of us who waited to fax our order after midnight or phone or
internet on Nov 8, are SHUT OUT of any chance of getting the prize SERIAL
NUMBER 1 STAR SET.

Someone was able to, as the phone sales rep said, "be aggressive" and twist
the arm of the Public Sales director and get pre-release sales over the
phone just made a great "steal."

Talk about kissin' butt.

Just think, a $495 investment for twelve (12) SERIAL NUMBER ONE STAR notes
(at thousands a piece on the secondary market) all before public sales were
announced to begin.

Power to the insider again.

Just so you know, I did get one set, but not as low a serial numbered set as
I had thought possible in a fair sale.

Sincerely,
C Rob

No one SHOULD be shut out of any chance of getting the serial number 1
star set. That's because, according to the BEP, it was set aside, and
will be given to the winner of a lottery, the automatic entrants being
anyone who buys a set. The lottery will not commence until all 2000
sets have been sold. This is what I was told, at any rate. I bought
mine at 8:30 this morning, on site at the BEP store in DC. I was told
that at that store they had sets numbered 401 and up (how far up I
don't know), and that there had been a few sets sold by phone already
that morning. I got the set with SN 411. I was asked to fill out a
form containing my name, address, phone, and E-mail, in order to be
entered in the lottery. They said that for people ordering over the
web, addresses and such would be harvested from the web-site orders.
So, assuming I was told the truth, you should have as much chance as
anybody of winning set 00000001*. By the way, it's a beautiful set; I
love $2's.

If they really took pre-sales that is outrageous behavior. They should be
lined up against the wall for doing that. I am now very happy Ashcroft
resigned. By the way, how did you know what serial numbers you received if
you did not buy on site? I bought on the phone and on the web and was
unable to determine the serial numbers.

I noticed that sets in the 0000041x range are already on eBay.
