I’m almost 100% sure that one was for sale a couple months ago on CL for $8 or $9k and sold in about an hour while I was heading over to check it out.
Ive had the same thing happen to me more than once, i sure hate it when you see them trying to flip it along while trying to represent as the original owner if that is the case.

Cash Money:
https://denver.craigslist.org/for/d/englewood-cash-money/6933027502.html

This is pretty funny, so I copied and pasted the ad below:

** ORIGINAL POST ** (7/6)
$20.16 in cash plus more for only $19.00.
* 20-dollar bill, slightly tattered
* assorted coins (dime, nickle, and penny = 16 cents)
* brown sharpie pen, used, but still writes
* emery board, used
* rubber band, used
* paper clip, brand new

I'm moving, selling my desk, and need to empty out the drawer.
Prefer to sell all at once, but willing to break the set.



** PRICE REDUCTION ** (7/7)
Yes, I am willing to accept less. I have lowered the price 5% from $19 to $18.
Hurry.

** UPDATE ** (7/8)
While vacuuming, I found another quarter.
$18.00 for $20.41. OBO. Serious inquiries only.

** VALUE ** (7/9)
The value of used stuff is certainly subjective. An older piece of technology, garden tools with a little rust, worn furniture, "gently used" clothes,... sure. But cash? AT $17, you immediately net a 17% profit. Well, you're doing me a favor by hauling it away. Thank you.

** ARRIVAL TIME ** (7/10)
Will you come make the purchase tomorrow? Don't state a time or arrive when promised. I'm happy to give up my afternoon and evening waiting for you to show up. No show? No problem.

** TOO MUCH TO READ ** (7/11)
Sorry for the long length. I was trying to put all relevant information in the ad, as opposed to making people guess. I guess they're too busy to read unless it's directed to them personally as an answer to a yes/no question.
- Yes, it's still available. (The posting is still up.)
- No, I don't have a $100 bill. (Or I would have shown or mentioned it.)
- Yes, it's been used before. (It's currency.)
- No, it's not in full color. Just green and white. (See picture.)
- Yes, it has a small tear. (See picture. Condition is stated as "fair".)
- Yes it is a little wrinkled. (See picture.) I'd rather not iron it since I'm already taking a loss.
So, to show my appreciation for the literate among us, I am including a special bonus coupon just for those that read this far. The super secret code to activate the coupon is "Kovfefe". Enjoy.

** TIMING & POSITIONING ** (7/12)
As an ad ages, one must scroll further to see it. I doubt that anyone is using the search function to look for cash. This ad needs to be re-posted for the weekend crowd. After all, some people have jobs to go to during the week. They can't be lurking in Craig's List 7 days a week. Uh, Oh. Uhm. I guess that's been me.
