Has Coronavirus impacted Stamp Sales?

John Blackwell

Has anyone experienced a significant increase or decrease in Stamp Sales activity?

Dennis Jorgensen

I had a large increase in April. May has not been as good, but for me May has been my "bad" month since I started in the stamp business back in the stone ages ( 1965 or 1966). This years May at Hipstamp was one of my betetr Mays.

I don't do so well on this site anyway but on ebay my sales have not been effected by Corona Virus at all. February, March, April and May sales were around the same as in 2019 and March sales were slightly up.

fyi - In May, HipStamp Sellers sold over $1.3 Million in stamps - which was a new record for us.

Richard Olsen

I think this May was my best month ever on this site.

April and May were great! June seems to start a little slower but better than LY

Thanks Guys n Doll

Robert Maddox

Congratulations on the record sales. Question for Mark. Can you provide any further breakdown of the $1.3 mm in stamp sales? Like auction vs BIN sales? Foreign vs domestic? Concentration of sales by seller category type? Also any insight into Hip's market share vs Ebay monthly sales on a percentage basis?

Thanks.

I’ve been doing what I can to help the sales volume, both here and on eBay. I’m buying as fast as I can!

April and May sales best ever. Many new buyers.
