Must be somewhat collectable I guess. :confused:
Better questions are how did you stumble across that and why are you posting it here? ;)

I once saw an ebay auction for an "almost square piece of cardboard". It was a flap from a box. It was a serious auction for the stupidous thing the guy could think of ... and it sold for something like $3.00.

A couple of years ago someone sold and X-Box box on Ebay(when they first came out) for some unbelievable price. The buyer got just what the guy advertised the Box that the X-Box came in. I never heard how that was resolved, but be careful on Ebay!
I got burned by a guy on Ebay a couple of years ago he advertised a brand new set of Vortec Head springs (picture showed them in a Crane box with the Data sheet) I bit and bought and ended up with a set of pulls from his new Vortec heads, he told me "I never said they were the Crane Vortec springs, I just said they were new springs for Vortec Heads, and since the heads were new the springs were new." The sombitch! But I really have to blame myself for not getting all the details before I bid on them. He didn't lie, I just didn't ask the right questions.

I've heard of some guys in Northern Wisconsin and Minnesota that were selling "North woods, weathered, birchwood outdoor decorations". All they were were sticks that they picked up in their yard. I only wish I had thought of it first.

There are plenty of scam auctions on ebay, and many "joke" auctions as well. In this case, I am unfamiliar with the market for collector paper money. I have no idea if this particular $10 note has any value to a collector beyond it's face value. People collect coins; people collect paper money... So, I don't think it's an auction for a ten dollar bill that has gone beyond the $10 value to $12.50.... it might have a little value to a collector... that's all. MJ

I guess if the high bidder didn't pay because he claimed to have never recieved it, the seller would not be able to prove otherwise :D

Buyer: Nothing your honor.
Seller: That is what I sold him!
