Default Using comma inside the comma delimited text in Data Validation

I could of course make an invisible sheet, and make a "dummy reference", or I
could find a cell in the active sheet which is not used and use that as a
"dummy reference", but I would prefer a nicer way.

Don't think it's possible with straight text - the only way I can see is to
use a worksheet reference (e.g. "=$AA$1:$AA$3"), enter the values in this
range and format them accordingly.

If you don't like this text way of expressing the range, you can fiddle it
with:
"=" & Range("$AA$1:$AA$3").Address
or some such.

This works fine:
Selection.Validation.Add xlValidateList, , , "10000,20000,30000"

How do I use comma INSIDE my items in the list, fx. if I want the list to
contain:
10,000
20,000
30,000

One would assume that the following would do the trick, but it doesn't:
Selection.Validation.Add xlValidateList, , , "'10,000','20,000','30,000'"

Any idea on how to do this?
