That is really great! That just shows me that there are children interested in stamp collecting if approached from the right perspective! I have been feeling like a child recently myself. As I sort and mount my Space Exploration stamps I am watching…

Ron, I agree with you. Things have changed a lot over the last 30 - 50 years! But some things have happened for the better. Growing up we had one stamp store in town, but they only sold US and some world stamps, but not many. I've tried actual stamp…

John P.Fields, I have a suggestion for you if you're interested. If you are on Facebook, join the "STAMP COLLECTING" Facebook group. Here is the actual link to it: https://www.facebook.com/groups/19028887128/ I have so much fun interacting with oth…

Emphasis appreciated!

I have been up and down with stamp collecting since I was 12. I am now 66. I stopped collecting when I enlisted in the Navy. Then I got married, raised two children, went to college, seminary, and finished my doctorate. During that time I resurrecte…

I was thinking about this thread the other day when I was out running errands. I thought, OK, if every low priced seller were to stop selling low priced stamps and there were only more expensive stamps available it would simply drive me back into st…

I am interacting on Facebook in "Stamp Collecting" and "Postage Stamp Collecting" FB groups. It is so much fun talking with people from around the world about our stamps. Posting pictures of our collections and stamps, etc. This adds a whole new dim…

Thanks Andrew! I've heard some sellers opine that it's too much trouble to post pictures of low price stamps, so they have lots of listings with no image. As far as I'm concerned as a buyer...I won't even consider a stamp I can't see. My thoughts ar…

I see the discussion topic here is definitely on the seller side rather than the buyer side. Perhaps I shouldn't even comment. But, as in everything else when one is in business it's about the bottom line, the profit margin. So competition drives t…

Low prices turn buyers off???? Excuse me??? I have purchased many stamps on here that are low priced. I cannot afford minimum prices of $4 per stamp. I guarantee i would not be buying anything from your store at those prices! I know you'd never make…

I have really appreciated the sellers I have purchased stamps from on here. They have all sent invoices with my order. It does make knowing where the order came from easier. I also like the way Hipstamp keeps a running pictorial and descriptive reco…

Please don't misunderstand. I mean you no harm or disrespect. Your web site might be fine. But I purchase McAfee security to keep me safe from viruses and such. I have to trust the service I purchase or it isn't worth anything to me at all. I don't …

Ted, Wow! That is one huge page! Three columns. Will check it out later. A bit overwhelming but nicely set up. Thanks for the link!

Michael, yes, I am still getting a security block on your web site. Did try clearing cache. But still getting blocked. As a matter of fact when I view the status report it says it is a high risk! Sorry.

Rod, you may be right. The write up in the description made me think it was not for posting links to other web sites. I often post links to articles on my stamp collecting blog.
-
Thanks for helping me with your comments and suggestions. I don't want to keep anyone from coming to your web site. I would never do that. Sorry if I left that impression. I just wanted to let you know what happened when I tried going there. Hope I …

Michael, as I poke around on the forum I am seeing cddstamps mentioned...is that your personal web site? If so, why does McAfee Security lock access to it? Were you aware that it does that?
-
Right now the two groups I am having fun with are: https://www.facebook.com/groups/postagestampcollecting/ and STAMP COLLECTING at https://www.facebook.com/groups/19028887128/.

Thanks for the referrals to these groups. I checked out them out. But McAfee security has red x on every link to cddstamps and blocks cddstamps website with a big red Woa! I don't think I will try to go there again. The description in koalastamps se…

I collect space stamps and covers. I would definitely be interested in seeing what you have.

I believe you are confusing the country names with the city names. Both Germany and DDR come up because both are country categories. Whereas DDR (country) and Berlin (city) are different. That is why you need "Germany" in your search perameter as we…

Asking good questions you need the answer to is not being a dummy. It is wise and intelligent use of your time. Besides, when someone provides the answer it helps others of us out here too. Keep asking questions Robert.

David, I don't know how long you have been on Hipstamp, but I purchase very few USA items here. Almost everything I buy is foreign and through dealers all over the world. I for one am very happy with Hipstamp. I do supplement purchases on Ebay and D…
