Interest in GBP Counterfeits?

In the past I have produced and sold counterfeit GBP notes on the Darknet already, I made quite a lot doing so as I created some very high quality £10 and £20 notes. They were passable but didn't quite feel the same as the genuine notes. I quietly left after completing all orders as it wasn't turning enough profit for what it was worth with the risk and all, selling small amounts of notes. I had occasional bulk orders, and I feel the quality that I was producing wasn't quite good enough to completely satisfy customers and quite frequently found myself out of good-will, refunding people.

So, let's cut to the chase. I have invested a lot into this again and purchased a high quality laser printer and hologram printer, which will now allow me to create crisp quality prints on the notes and also I am now able to create perfect replicas of the currency holograms, with all interchanging images you would see in a genuine note. I am also using a different type of cotten-linnen based parchment for the notes, which gives it a much better feel and is almost perfectly identical to that of an original, they are also completely starch free, this allows the notes to pass the counterfeit pen test. All UV prints are present on my notes, the same as real ones. Note that these will NOT be useable in any sort of currency machines, such as change machines, self-service checkouts or betting machines.

I am solely here to see how big of a demand there are for GBP counterfeits now and if there is anyone else already saturating the market for it with some high quality fakes. If there is a lot interest I will begin to sell possibly on Agora or Evolution, since they remain very trusted markets. Any of my previous customers, you may be able to guess my old name from my dialect here, I hope, please provide feedback on anything else you wish to see with my return?

EDIT: I forgot to mention, the serial codes on the notes will be unique from each other as I am printing with incremental values on the last 5 numbers of it, so they will change by one on each print. If this hits off again I will be developing the process into a product line so that I can seamlessly print out hundreds of notes per day without any human interaction (Yeah, it's going to be a big job but worth it).

EDIT EDIT: I bought some BTC through Virwox, horrendous how much you lose through it and I think I'll have to wait 48 hours for it to come through so I can't setup a vendor account yet I suppose.

EDIT EDIT EDIT WITH PICTURES: Okay, so here are the photos I have taken of the sample £5 notes that I have posted to 3 users now for review/feedback. I will be sending out a few more samples once I can get a listing up, I'll add links to my listings here ASAP.

Definitely interested. Would be good for festivals in the summer where you are expected to pay £7 for a burger bought in tesco that morning haha.

I bought some from "cashandcoke", "pinky" and "anonbearzinho" in the past, none were ever great and I only bothered using the latter vendor's notes, which worked at my local corner shop fine, if you are to be any of these previous vendors, then please let it be him... These notes are needed here right now, because I don't think I've actually saw any on sale at all in the DNMs lately, if you can get the quality right then you'll break into this gap in the market. Feel free to send me a message, I'd happily sample these and provide a full review for you to get you started off :)

The thing that pops up to my mind with anybody selling notes, is of your notes are so perfect and undetectable, why do you need to sell them to us for legit notes? Couldn't you just print off a tenner before going to the shops?

I'd deffo get some 5 and 10s to buy weed with from these shit dealers selling stems and shit


[2 Points] ToiletSniffer1992:

How come they don't work in machines?


[1 Points] anonfe:

I am interested in this.. I used to know a guy who sold fake £5s they worked at most small shops and on the bus :) I'd be willing to review


[1 Points] None:

Please yes. I've made countless posts oh the wanted forum on evo. There are no pound notes on evolved. There are on nucleus but with little feedback. Please make them and provide samples

Thanks


[1 Points] crackwidow:

Super interested if they're any good! £10s especially would be great.


[1 Points] cheesy1245:

get them listings up asap, i want to order a sample and if the quality are as good as you say I will take thousands of you if at a good price for me to resell. have you created a vendor account yet on agora or evolution?


[1 Points] None:

Very interested. Tenners is a good idea


[1 Points] Ashen2014:

I'd be very interested in this! I'd be happy to do a small order and write a review some time soon if it's possible


[1 Points] str8upblah:

Definitely interested.


[1 Points] Alferz:

I'd be interested, I've been looking for a vendor for awhile now but none of them look legit.


[1 Points] Foolish_ness:

Interested for sure. Keep us posted!

Was apparently hacked and now threatened to be doxed. - Still trying to chase him up as I lost money in all of this. Scammer? you decide.. I am starting to think so as he's made no attempt to contact anyone in like 5 days.

Yea, it seems the main suppliers of counterfeits have dried up. I'd love to see some pictures of these printed notes, and I'd be interested in buying a few when you are up and started :)

TLDR; If all the major details live up to your descriptions you have a good market cornered. Colour needs to be perfect, watermark and foil second, anything extra is bonus.

As somebody who has passed a fair few notes, there is certainly a few features that are crucial. Watermarks are generally too faint. People suspicious of notes hold them up to a light or their register screen and look for the watermarks and metallic thread. The foil strip is also very reassuring, and I've only seen one note maker do a convincing job .

Details dont need to be 100%, but enough to suggest microlettering. Colour is more important, if they print out poorly then that is the biggest give away. Counterfeits I have seen tend to be a little too purple/red instead of blue.

The paper can work with sub-par quality, because aging the notes with some typical creases, spraying with a thickening agent (typically hairspray - but there are better). Flatten them under books or something, then you have a very convincing smooth but textured feel.

Price needs to be worth it though, as this is a risk vs reward case. If you are going to take the risk, then its better to go with £20's as you get a greater return. £10's are useful as they are not checked for as much, and in fact counterfeit £10's are hard to come by. You should offer both, but if the notes stand up there isn't a reason to buy the £10's unless you are going for the safer route. In my opinion, I wouldn't pay more than 50% of the face value of the note to justify the risk. I have gotten passable notes, unquestioned, at 25% face value.
