Auction Game! Guess the Value!

[Zep]

ok here is the game, i will display an image, u have one guess at how much the item shown in the picture is worth. Please do not look on google for the fairness of the competition.

 

[Matabele]

worthless as it is defaced.

 

[Narcissus]

Could you call it defaced though? It was obviously in place during the printing process so is it really 'defaced'?

Either way, I had to look it up... suffice to say it's worth more than both the note and the apple the sticker came off combined!

 

[Chip and Chase]

I didn't realise Hugh Grant's father was a past President of the US

 

[clontaago]

Did you hear Hugh Grant has cancer?

 

[The Gronk]

Did you hear Hugh Grant has cancer?

I hear he passed it on to Divine Brown when they were watching your horse, My Face, run, and she yelled out "Come on My Face!!"

 

[Nutzcraw]

$20

 

[Chip and Chase]

Did you hear Hugh Grant has cancer?

Is there a punchline here ???

 

[Zep]

that piece of paper is worth $25,300 US dollars.

 

[Matabele]

why?

 

[Narcissus]

Because the apple sticker became attached to the note midway through the printing process.... note that it's over the '$20' at the bottom, but underneath the serial number and stamp.

 

[Fro]

Why? you ask Matas.

Because some fool is willing to pay that much for it is why.

 

[Matabele]

Why? you ask Matas.

Because some fool is willing to pay that much for it is why.

  It's a very good example of the bubble in the economy that is going to burst sometime soon. 

 

[Zep]

more like: the treasury has such a perfect process for spotting mistakes in notes that such a large and obvious mistake going into general circulation is almost impossible. it is like if u find a mis printed stamp from earlier last century

 

[Fro]

Correct Matas.

So what Zep? by that reasoning a kid with 6 fingers is worth more than one with 5. They are worth exactly the same, they will just be treated differently.

 

[Zep]

it still doesn't defeat the purpose as to why that is worth 25300 dollars. someone was willing to pay that amount becuase it is rare and therefore worth more.

 

[Fro]

Thats not what you said previously zep, yes it is worth more because someone is willing to pay it. NOT just because it is rare.

 

[fLIP]

I thought it was a good thread Zep.

Don't worry about these knobs. Sometimes they feel its more important to appear correct and all-knowing, even if it means having a lack of respect for someone's effort and feelings.

[Fro]
