Just an hour back today , I was researching on how much a "REICHSBANK 1000 MARK BERLIN APRIL 1910" currency will cost in today's world , since I have in my possession quite a few of these currency notes passed on by my late grandfather who was in the air force and a world war veteran.
Well, you are right to think that I am now, going to write a extensive and dreary report on the particular currency but you are wrong and this article is far away from that, well, I on a casual search stumbled upon the eBay coins and paper money page and was stunned when I came across this page where people are selling Indian currency at an exorbitant prices in US dollars.
Typically, I would have read the ludicrous claims and gone ahead with my work but what I saw in this page had me quite stunned and up in laughter for more than thirty minutes and it got me thinking about how gullible people have us believe in eBay.
Well, to get into the nitty-gritty let me take the example of this bloke who is selling a 100 Rupee (1996) note for US $6.29, in reality this note is in circulation today and the real-world value is only US $2.54, that’s a PROFIT of US $3.75.
Well, here are some of the other stupid offers up for gullible people , on eBay , who want to buy 'over-valued" Indian currency…(All the following currency are valid and currently in circulation and are being used),
Reference: For the current conversion rates (Dollar to Rupee) visit this page.
Indian 100 Rupee note for US $6.29
Indian 100 Rupee Note (1979) for US $8.99
India 20 Rupee Note for US $4.49
India 50 Rupee Note (1982) for US $4.49
Will someone wake up and take notice, I dint know and neither can I say if this is a novel approach to scam people or there is some substance in it to take us for a ride like this . Anyway, it made interesting reading and a very good laugh.
Visit the eBay coins and paper page to read more such scams.
