I will chime in because nobody else has. I am not an expert on currency prices. But.... As far as I have seen, the prices for currency haven't increased due to Covid like they have for baseball cards. You should be able to find a really nice $500 note for $1200 or $1300. I would take a look on eBay before you go to the coin shop. See what $1200 or $1300 (or whatever your budget allows) can buy you. Then go to the coin shop and see if you can do the same or better at the coin shop. When I was looking for my $500 note, I don't think there were many actual auctions. Most of the notes for sale are "Buy It Now".

Whenever I have stumbled upon a $500 or $1000 bill at a collectible store they have been grossly overpriced.

From what I've been seeing $1500-$2k should get a nice looking $500 bill (graded in the 40-50 range) and $3-4k for a $1k bill. For the 1934 issue. Some rarer or earlier issues are listed for much more.
