It's enough to drive a man... well, you know...

Okay, so I went to this bank near my honey hole a week ago looking for halves. Same little town as the one that gave up the ten solid rolls of 40%. They didn't have any loose or rolled, but the head teller said they had a whole $1k bag in the vault from their coin counter. No apparent dumps, she said, but an accumulation over a number of months. I didn't have quite enough to get it, so I told her to hold it, that I WOULD be back to pick it up very soon. She said she'd hold it, as long as I'd be back. I called back early this week to tell her to hold it until 11/6, that I WOULD be by to pick it up at that time. She said she had it in the back, but she had already written it up 'in her books' to go back to the Fed. I asked... pleaded with her, really... to hold the bag. I promised I'd be by to pick it up on that date. I begged her to hold it. She hesitated... then said "It's already in the books". This bag is still in the vault, but there's no way you can change the entry in the book? It HAS to go back to the Fed, huh? After you said you'd hold it for me just last week? Yeah...

Do you know which carrier this bank uses? If they do ship them out, you might have a second chance...order half boxes from this carrier as many as you can starting next week.

The bank doesn't have to take up space in the vault in the hopes that someone comes from out of town to pick it up.

If you don't have the money, don't expect them to hold it for two weeks.

You asked her to hold it and you'd pick it up. You called this week, and told her to hold it for another week. I'd say "This person isn't as interested as they say they are, or they'd be buying it. I'm not going to waste my time and space holding it any longer."

It's tough but it's the way it works. I've bought and sold many things, and I've "sold" something several times over. People promise to buy and flake, or change their minds. It's become first come with cash, first serve for me. A bank's going to do the same.

This is why I generally have a couple G's on me while I'm out CRH'ing. Never know what you'll find.

Just imagine that bag is probably full of early halves and seated halves. Probably some key date barbers too.

Sorry to slam on you but you are not a hard-core CRHer. A hard-core CRHer would go back there the next day or no more than 2 days most. I would just call in sick or take a PTO.
