French Oceania HELP!!

PLEASE HELP .. I need to end a listing of mine. Maybe need to contact
someone with knowledge of foreign notes before listing these .. I think I
already got bamboozled out of one of them ..

Normally I sell and collect tokens. Arcade, transit etc .. This is NOT the
kind of stuff I would list but it was part of a collection I bought.
thought it was junk and then someone wrote to tell me they were valuable.

I would really appreciate your input or maybe someone could tell me who I
should talk to about them.

You can't end an auction early just because you suddenly discover that what
your selling is more valuable than you originally thought. That's a bonus
for you. Expect to reap a nice windfall when the auction closes and snipers
bid up the price in the last seconds.

And just because the catalog says a note is worth a particular price is no
guarantee that it is worth anywhere near that price. It's true market value
could be much more or much less.

Good luck with your auction.

I totally appreciate your input. You are right about the snipers and to
tell the truth, had I not heard this auction was worth what the person said
it was, I would be JUMPING UP AND DOWN for $500 .. TOTAL. I wish I didn't
have that horrible built in thing called "greed." I remember having a dream
about finding money and in my dream frantically looking around for MORE..
Same in real life when you find a $10 bill in a pocket of a coat you wore
last winter .. then put your hand in the other hoping to find MORE ..

I think you're going to be very pleased with what you get for what you
originally thought was junk scraps of paper.

I once sold some silver/jade jewelry that I had bought at a garage sale for
a few bucks. I was very happy to get the $50 the bracelets were going for an
hour before the auction closed, and thrilled when at the last minute they
got bid up to over $300 by snipers. Turns out they were recognized as the
work of a noted Native American silversmith and were probably worth many
times what the winner paid. Still, I was happy with my return on investment,
and happy too that someone who appreciated them more than I was the new
owner.

Good luck!

By the time prospective bidders have read all that nonsense in your listing
any notion of bidding will have faded to zero. Billy

Where's your manners?

Billy obviously has some strong opinions, but in this case, he's wrong.
There have been 24 bids so far with an hour to go, and the current bid is
over $2,000. A nice windfall for the token seller who thought she had some
junk notes.

Ended at $4,749, that should stop the seller from whining, I hope.

Two snipers shot it up, I hope the winner pays as they may not have expected
to have to pay so much.

It will be interesting to watch for the feedback.

The winner has 100% bidding activity with the seller in the last 30 days.
