I wouldn't pay 1000 for it 
Why is he asking so much for it, what is so special about it?
Dealing with that much money..he must be Jewish
there seems to be about 100 of these existing, I doubt even the finest known would sell for more than mid 5 figures.

Gold Certificates
Small size Gold Certificates were printed for three different Series. 1928, 1928A, and 1934. The only regularly issued Gold Certificates came from the Series of 1928. (These were actually printed in 1929 and were in use from 1929 to 1933) Signature combination on these notes is Woods and Mellon. Seals and serial numbers were printed in distinctive gold ink although the actual color resembles orange – yellow. The backs were printed in green ink as seen on the reverse of our standard small size FRNs today. Denominations of 1928 Gold Certificates printed and issued were: $10, $20, $50, $100, $500, $1000, $5000, and $10,000.
The four lower denominations are generally available. The Series 1928 $500 and $1000 Gold Certificates are considerably more expensive, with uncirculated examples running well into the five-figure range. Interestingly, the 1928 $1000 Gold Certificate has a large blank area on the right, where the denomination would normally have been printed. This makes for a most unusual look. - This author speculates approximately 150-200 of each $500 and $1000 Gold Certificate extent. The majority of survivors have been heavily processed or “improved.” Look for “closed” pinholes on many of these. Unmolested, original examples are the exception and should be considered rare.
Also issued for Series of 1928 were the $5000 and $10,000 Gold Certificates. These notes (as with all small size Gold Certificates) were immediately recalled following the Gold Reserve Act of 1933. It is therefore unlikely that any exist outside of institutions and government archives. They are however entirely legal to own. One of these notes surfacing would certainly make for the ultimate discovery note. Currently there are none in private hands.
Series 1928A Gold Certificates were printed in denominations $10, $20 and $100. BEP records indicate that notes were delivered, but none appear to have been released to the public. There is some discrepancy as to whether these notes were destroyed or whether they are in a storage vault at the United States Treasury building in Washington, DC. The notes are infact legal to possess but should in all likelihood be considered unobtainable.
Woodrow Wilson is depicted on the Series 1934 $100,000 Gold Certificate. It is the highest denomination printed for all Federal paper money. The $100,000 Gold Certs were intended for use in fiscal channels only and not general circulation. The notes are strictly government property and are not legal to own. From time to time the notes can be seen in BEP exhibits at larger coin or currency shows.
