explaining that all to me Tony. I think Ma Yappy is getting it now

I can see how an undisclosed reserve can hook in bidders to at least start in the running and get the the competitive spirit happening ..............................

I've been spending tons of time the last couple or so day in money info and collectors sites and checking out the Canadian coins and paper money action in epay ... even joined a serious collectors forum and am learning all sorts of neat things. One thing is I won't just look at the face value of money so I don't shortchange or get shortchanged anymore ... I'll check out not only the serial numbers but also the bill/coin and everything about it.

Amazing how often I get older perfectly crisp and brand new looking 20's in my wads of cash from bank machines, and I go "Oh look. Ever neat" and spend it not thinking twice ... that face value $20 I passed on ... who knows, could have been worth HUNDREDS and maybe more. I kid you not!

I'm learning the money stuff and how to spot and recognize special things that add value and hopefully will be able to assess/grade proper values soon etc. I'm having fun in that forum and learning something new ... like MLU is great people and education and has been a learning curve for me, this other forum another kind of learning curve with people who know their stuff, like you folks do, and guide new people

Do any of you in here collect money? (I know you're all big spenders on blitz bits so probably are broke though because you spend your old money on old vehicles )

IF any of you have any CANADIAN coins or paper money, especially the paper, and want to find out if it's worth more than face value or what it might be worth, if you send me a PM or an email and tell me what you've got, I'll try and find out it's value it for you and if it's sought after by collectors and maybe I can even connect you with a buyer if you want to sell. Whatever. This all as a random act of kindness on my part to you/whoever MLU-ers as a way for me to both contribute back to MLUers and as a way for me to actively practice and learn this stuff.

Now, I'm tired ... free flow yappityyapyapyap ... I'm done!

Hey, Karmann Ghia...Where the hell were you about 5 months ago when I decided to unload a whole bunch of Cdn coins?

Included were Canada Goose Silver Dollars, 1943 Tombac nickles, Industry nickles, 1967 Centennial coinage sets.

As it turned out, I got a fair buck for them...but...coulda been more?
