There was a bit in the news about this but it was only half the story. Look how much daft collectors paid for this one.
He is doing well though. Being a collector himself I suppose he thought it was worth a punt.
Check out his current auctions and look at the thousands he's made in completed auctions.
Of course being ebay I assume some are unpaid but his still done well.

I must be missing something here, why the heck are people paying over the odds for a fiver that is only worth, well a fiver?
Interesting about those consecutive ones though as I have four consecutive one pounds notes in mint condition. I wonder if they are worth a fiver?

I have to agree with you as I don't get it either. Probably why he was out there virtually on his own making a killing.
I mean in a few weeks banks will be full of them. A women paid for something today in a charity shop with one and we all had a good look. So I don't quite get what their paying extra for. I could understand paying that for gold sovereigns or old Roman gold coins but a bit of plastic.
If the mint is paying attention when the tens and twenties come out maybe the first thousand off the press will get offered to collectors. A government extra money making scheme just like car number plates.

There was a commotion at a checkout in my local Iceland today.
A customer had offered one of these new £5 notes as payment for her purchases.
There wasn't a problem as such, just a gaggle of women discussing the note which was being held aloft for all to gaze at in awe and admiration.
Eventually the group moved off and I was able to pay for my purchases with a far more mundane plastic card.
