Saddam bills up for bid?

That is interesting. I just took a poll and it seems the consensus of opinion is x5. Anything over that would eliminate many bidders.
sorry for the hiccup!

That is interesting. I just took a poll and it seems the consensus of opinion is x5. Anything over that would eliminate many bidders. Of course if the government was involved, it would end up costing us x10 to dispose of them!

I find it interesting the Billion Dollars or so in cash they've found so far has been mostly in US 100 dollar bills.

I'd bid $80 for one, if the shipping wasn't to high.

Mrs.M,

So if I offer the govt. $1 million for them, I'd probably get my money back out? Maybe I could get Saddam to autograph each one!

5x face value sounds reasonable, BUT you must remember these bills ARE limited -- when they're gone, they're gone! Not only that, the story of "Saddam C-notes on eBay" would get national -- no, international! -- news coverage! I could see some going for 10, 20, 50 times face! Especially if there would be some type of certificate of authenticity, and maybe frame/mount each one.

Now what bid do I hear for Saddam's uneaten Mar's Bar?!

I, for one, know some of their habits..ummm, well, I think I want my sanitized!

Jabber, this might give you an idea of possible value... But I wouldn't count on it.

Puppy,

I looked at your link to the Sag.coin auction -- $473 for a $1 face value?!?! Wow! That's even better than I could hope for a Saddam c-note! An equivalent mark up would be over $47,000 for a Saddam $100-bill!?! Or about $35 million for the lot!?! I'll do all the listing & processing for a paltry 10% cut!

Isn't that the truth, Rick..sign of the times!

Good point, Rick!

If I had a box full of c-notes sitting here with a potential value many multiple times face value, where would I keep it to keep them safe?!? A Brinks armored truck sitting in the driveway all the time might get the neighbors upset!

This is going to be Rick, answering posts if everyone leaves Christmas week!
