Matched Serial Number 04574890
 |
| Final closing bid |
Sunday night’s auction at Great Collections concluded and resulted in another pair submitted by Project 2013B being sold. The pairs, serial number 04574890, was submitted on behalf of the two co-owners, and sold for $1477.02. After the buyer paid their premium, their total cost was 1661.65. The matched pair was pretty circulated, with both notes graded a 'Very Fine 25'. The final bid was probably reasonable considering that a different matched pair which had better condition notes(graded Very Fine 30, and Very Fine 35) is still unsold. Not sure who exactly submitted the better condition pair, but it has been in at least 2 auctions since November, and failed to receive a bid on it's starting bid level of $2000. Perhaps featuring the pair 04574890 (submitted by Project 2013b) on social media, facebook groups, this website, and the website's newletter had a real impact.
As I mentioned in previous posts, GreatCollections does not really do much in terms of promotion of your auction item. They post your item on your site and that is about it. If someone finds it in search, that is pretty much the exposure you get from what I can tell. They do have a weekly emailed newsletter that alerts you of the next auction. It features images and the current bid of predominently gold or rare coins. In a recent newletter, I counted 345 coins shown, and only 20 banknotes shown. Of the 20 banknotes, the vast majority were over 100 years old. The matched pair that was consigned through Project 2013B sold at a price higher than half of the notes that were in the newsletter, so it is puzzling what gets you shown in their newsletter.
