Aibu to be kicking myself - I just gave the babysitter £15 in £5 notes and she inspected them and jumped up and down as she had an AA13___

Apparently worth loads. Grrr.

A fiver is worth...........a fiver

No she's an idiot. My local facebook page is full of muppets trying to sell fivers.

SquedgieBeckenheim · 17/11/2016 20:04

I had an AA17. I didn't think that would be valuable, so I spent it on hot chocolate. Wasn't it only the AA01's that were valuable?

Huh? They've relisted it or one like it. But when the price is green it means it's sold. If unsold, it stays red.

The price isn't green for me - it says "This item ended. It has been relisted". It didn't sell for a grand.

KnickersOnOnesHead · 17/11/2016 20:19

Worth exactly what it is.

If someone came into a shop and ask to pay for the £300 shop with a fiver because it was 'worth' X amount on ebay, they'd be laughed out of the shop.

Champagneformyrealfriends · 17/11/2016 20:19

But when the price is green it means it's sold. If unsold, it stays red.

Doesn't mean it's been paid for though. People aren't actually making money selling these.

AnchorDownDeepBreath · 17/11/2016 20:19

That one didn't sell either - the seller took the listing down.

KnickersOnOnesHead · 17/11/2016 20:19

*their £300 shopping

ClopySow · 17/11/2016 20:21

Only very foolish people buy fivers for more than a fiver.

Says it got 1 bid (the £1k one not £250k obviously)

Oh well. I got it earlier in the day from a cabbie, so easy come easy go.

No, it's not.

whyohwhy000 · 17/11/2016 20:26

Only the AA00s are valuable.

luckylucky24 · 17/11/2016 20:34

It is worth what stupid people will pay for it.

Have to agree to disagree. I did a search for sold items only, and if you check the relishing, it's a different serial no. ie. a different note.

Admittedly, most of them are going for peanuts.

I had a woman check her fiver before giving it to me at work yesterday, she said some of them 'are worth money.' Yeah, they're worth a fiver. Newsflash, money is worth money. (I was feeling sarcastic yesterday, the young lad I work with thinks I'm mad. Note, I didn't actually say this to this woman, just like I never tell people who complain they have cold hands to go and buy some gloves.)
