I have had some great note and coins buys and have done OK selling.
Unfortunately there are more and more sellers taking advantage of ignorant
buyers but it's impossible to do much about it. Billy
Congrats. I don't recall your eBay name, what's your feedback number?

what does a £2 coin buy these days?
Half a bottle of wine. :-) Billy
About three US $1 bills. Useta be four a couple years ago.
Things're.........lookin' up..... for the US tourist.
The drastic change in the exchange rate will cut the number of UK visitors
to the USA, and to Europe with the poor exchange rate with the euro.
Petrol is down from a high of about £1.24 a litre to 96p a litre, amazing.

Time for a change in the balance anyway. It's our turn to benefit from the
Pound-Dollar relationship. Hey, more Americans in the pubs!

I love it! Locally, gasoline topped out at about $4.20 per gallon last
summer. Today, that local gallon can be had for $1.69. With hundreds of
millions of gas-slurping automobiles projected to be on our roads for at
least another generation, we'd best get to drilling for whatever oil we have
left in order to help feed our share of them. No alternative power efforts
will help fuel my Camaro. Especially that planned 2009 400hp resurrection
that GM probably hopes will debut veeeeery quietly before Congress sees it.
This is bad news for the big New York international coin show in
January at the Waldorf Astoria, they depend
heavily on European dealers and collectors showing up.

Anyone from Europe who can afford to travel to the New York and stay at the
Waldorf Astoria for a coin show probably will not notice the exchange rate.
Hey, things are tough all over.
The dealers will be on expenses but as collectors pay from their own pocket
so some may stay away. Billy
