The listing, Federal Reserve Note Currency Star Note C02592596* has ended.
I started collecting these circulated Star Notes a while back. As you can see from the photo it is a well circulated bill, but still pretty cool.
In case you've never seen or heard about star notes before, here is what they are. (To the best of my knowledge)
At the mint as bills are being stacked sequentially by serial number they are visually inspected for smudges, rips, tears or anything that would cause them to be discarded. Instead of allowing a gap to exist in the sequence of the bills, a Star Note is inserted into the stack.
That way a stack of 1 dollar bills that starts with XXXXXX000 still ends at XXXXXX099, the star note is the placeholder!
If you look through 1000 bills you'd be lucky to find 1 or 2, so they're pretty rare.
Here's the way my auctions are going to work from now on. If you have a feedback rating of 5 or less, or negative feedback of any kind and you win my auction I will simply refund your credits and re list the item. I'm tired of the scammers. So if you fall into that category don't even bother bidding.
Additionally, I am charging $1.00 Shipping on everything I sell until further notice.PayPal only. Once the item has been shipped and the auction has closed with appropriate feedback left I will return the $1.00 via PayPal.
(Unless I have done business with you before, in which case shipping will be free).
Again I'm tired of the scammers, I have quite a few very nice higher end items I have been itching to list, but I'm scared of getting burned. The aforementioned criteria are the only way I can think of to not get ripped off.
Until Listia institutes some sort of seller protection I have invented my own. I may have been born at night, but it wasn't last night. :)
God Bless,
Chris
