Perhaps your shiny new fivers are worth £1000...

This is barmy. What on earth is going on!

Nope. People are asking for £1000. Nobody is actually paying that. The only ones worth anything are AA01 and even then they onlh seem to be fetching around £50

Yeah I know, I was joking but I was just so surprised when I stumbled across it. Especially given some of the ludicrous prices they're being listed at. The optimism of some of these sellers is admirable. 

Still, set it to sold listings and order by highest price first... that can't be genuine. Feels like some rubbish joke that I'm missing out on.

Oops double post.

Funny what people pay for. Then again the amount of gear that flies around this forum who are we to judge :-)

It's true, they'd probably think we're mad spending this much on guitars. It's just the concept of buying money on ebay is inherently amusing to me.

I quite like that I get sequential numbers out of the ATM but not that I'm getting whatever amount in £5 notes just so they can get them out there.

All of my fivers were worth that pre-Brexit.

Our local Gumbook / Facetree page is full of chavs trying to get £20 for any fiver they can get their hands on.

Some went for around £270 a few weeks ago

I got an 'AK47' which I thought was mildly amusing. I meant to keep it but I wanted a sandwich more.

Bastard, I've just checked the OP's link and I see AK47 notes are the only ones with bids. Never mind, I hate eBay and it was a nice sandwich.

I have an AD31  - swap it for a decent pedal...

I'm not paying that! Gonna order a few Chivers.
