Terms and Conditions

     My Terms and conditions are that I am a Stamp Dealer and I have fun with stamps and I hope you do as well.  This is my sandbox and I will try not to offend anybody unintentionally.  I am responsible for the content of what I post, unless my site gets hacked.  I am not responsible for hurt feelings or relipolitical/social leanings.   

     I am interested in buying, selling and enjoying stamps.  Please do not send me stamps to buy or look at.  I only look at stamps and collections when the Owner is present.  This protects you, and avoids misunderstandings.  If I buy a collection and it turns out that I underpaid for it because of material that I subsequently found was worth far more than I paid for it, I will catch up with you on it.   Don't hold your breath, it has only happened 11 times in 15 years.  If I overpaid, well, that is on me.

      If you want to donate a collection and or supplies, feel free.  I pass on a lot of material to our local stamp club, use it to make gifts to young/new collectors,  or make it available to schools and artists when appropriate.  

PLEASE DO NOT THROW OUT YOUR OLD STAMPS AND ENVELOPES WITH LETTERS INSIDE.  STAMP COLLECTORS LOVE THEM AND WILL GIVE THEM A GOOD HOME!

    A final comment...MOST stamps that come to me are NOT worth very much.  There are many LIARS on the Internet that will tell you that a certain COMMON stamp is worth a lot when it catalogs at $.25.  Borrow a Scott Catalogue from your local library and you will find that EVERY stamp has a "value" of at least $.25.  That is what I am supposed to charge YOU!  But I sell THOUSANDS of stamps for 1c each.  If I am selling them for 1c each, how much did I pay?
