Merry Christmas to all my visitors.
31st December 2019 - This is my year end
reflection.
I only managed to pick up 119 new notes during the year and
some will be uploaded here in the next few months.
The market
for new banknotes have changed quite significantly over the past few years.
Prices have gone up considerable when a new one is issued, especially to those commemorative and polymer notes. Many collectors
would rather try to get them as soon as they are available and not wait for the
price to settle down a little bit later. Such eagerness to get them gave
sellers the advantage to cash in for a higher profit. There is one thing I
noticed was that even sellers of their own local newly issued notes are
demanding the same or similar pricing as compared to those sold by a by foreign
sellers in another country for the same note. I can understand the cost
associated to those foreign sellers but not those sold by the locals.
Other
factors that contributed to the prices are fees associated to selling them on
popular auction websites. One way of beating this is to buy directly from
reputable sellers, whom often would offer a discount. I always say that a
dollar saved is another dollar available to buy more notes.
The current
strong USD/British pound/Euro currencies are not helping either. The exchange
rates can deter one from buying more and instead of getting 5 or 10 pieces for
the same note, I have to reduce the quantity to say 2 pieces and, in many
cases, just to a single note.
I hope you
all have better luck than me.
Be safe and
have a great new year 2020.
