Where to sell old bank notes?

Fellpony_2

Granmother in her wisdom has given me a bundle of old bank notes to sell, £1 and £5 notes, none of them legal tender any more.
She wants me to sell them and get the best price, where would be the best place for me to try? We have a local auction house who have sold some in the past but wondered if you guys had any other options.
Many thanks in advance.

I am sure that a bank will still change them. We found a 20 pound note that was years out of date, and the bank exchanged it.

Have a look on ebay for anything similar:)

Are they Scottish ones? If so ... I have no idea. I'd be interested in a few £1 notes that I might actually recognise - being English. If they're English, PM me, I'll pay twice face value for 10 of them, yes seriously. Re the £5 notes ... not sure, can you post pics?

I recently sold on ebay several English and Scottish £1 notes for £2 profit each, £5 notes for £15 profit each. I noticed that £10 notes often go for a loss unless very good condition. Fees are too high to bother listing £20 or £50s unless they are uncirculated.

Funnily enough, the £1 note that was limp and ripped and torn got the highest bids (I listed them one at a time).

I recently bought on ebay old £20 notes for £18. This was before RM started messing with me so everything arrived ok with just a hand-addressed 2nd class envelope.

I suggest sending them this way too if you're going to sell on ebay.

Someone was selling current circulated £10 notes from his wallet, with the highest bids at £12 :S

Thank you for your replies.
They are mainly scottish ones, ones and 5's.
I'll ask at my bank and see what they say, they might flinch at nearly 400 quids worth right enough!
I'll check on eBay first to make sure I haven't on worth lots more than face value too (I know my luck, so it's unlikely!)
