Preferably from someone with a reputation to uphold.

Seeing as 100CAD is about 100.50 USD, 100.50/4.85 = BTC 20.72 plus some for shipping and handling, let's say BTC 22?

Are you sending first (and then hoping something shows up in the mail later)?  If so, then this preference makes sense.  But it is unclear who goes first.

how much are you willing to pay?

Normally in a sale there is a buyer who pays for a purchase, and a seller who accepts payment for a purchase.

In this instance, it is worded that the seller is offering a C$100 bill.  Thus wouldn't you instead ask how much the seller would require you to pay?  [Brain fart, ignore that.  The question above it still is valid though.]

The title says "Wanted: New, uncreased Canadian $100 bill in the mail."  To me, that indicates that he wants a $100 bill, not that he has one.

Wow, sorry.  Not sure how I misread that.  I can't even blame a lack of sleep.

Don't blame you for wanting one of these: its the most beautiful banknote i've seen in my life.

Note: Pictures don't do it justice. The polymer makes it as slinky as silk. The red $50 note looks even better.

22 BTC + price of shipping. You can choose any service you want from canada post's site (https://www.canadapost.ca/cpotools/apps/far/personal/findARate?execution=e1s1), but I won't be liable for any losses incurred in-transit. I can, however provide a video of me placing the bill inside the envelope, sealing it, and dropping it off at a drop off box.
