<p>[QUOTE="Joan, post: 9594238, member: 5398"]Thank you for your advice, Linda, I'll pass it along to my sister since the box and contents belong to her. Did you see the post from smallaxe who wrote that another note from the same Wisconsin bank sold for over $600, but was in much better condition than my sister's note. He thought hers could be worth over $50, and maybe over $100. Also mentioned it may have double collector interest with the old steam engine vignette.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, you were definitely wise not to end the auction early for your Hemet, CA bank note. And nice of the other ebayer to advise you not to end it early. I had something similar happen during my early days selling on eBay, but it turned out I should have taken the offer because the guy who made it ended up winning the auction at a much lower price than his offer, darn!! On the other hand, other bidders would have been really disappointed, and I've learned since then that eBay strongly discourages ending auctions early for that reason.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
