Michael...yes...I sent messages to both sellers but just sent them today and yes...I'll give both time to answer.
-
James.... in Ebay if I'm interested in more than 1 item I ALWAYS contact the seller to see if they combine shipping. 99% usually will. Why they don't put it in their ad is a mystery to me. When I sell I always combine and make that known in my ad. I…

Richard, Thanks for your very detailed description. If used for regular postage (although I won't) how would they be attached? Dave
-
Thanks Paul. I guess if you're using for mail you re-gum. If looking to resell you leave it as is.
-
Thanks Michael...useful info.
-
Michael, I wasn't giggling on the $35 I spent to mail. I'd surely been cussing at FedEx. I could walk to the PO to mail but drive 50 miles round trip to get screwed at FedEx. I'll relate this though. I sent a small box to Ontario from Ohio via USP…
-
I've learned one thing for sure about the USPS. Never again will I use them to ship a boxed item. My wife sent a small box that at the most weighed 2 ponds to Scotland. Cost me about $30 to send. From now on anything that won't fit through a mail sl…
-
I'll tell you Tania...some of the shipping prices I've seen on Ebay are outrageous along with some of the listing prices. I've seen some of the newer FOREVERS listed quite high. That's why I generally just go to the USPS on Ebay. You can get them a…

Thanks Carol. Haven't ordered from this guy yet but I'll use your suggestion of checking his feedback..... Dave
-
Mark..... I'll give my input. First I'm a relatively new collector who does most of my shopping on Ebay but all of a sudden instead of buying sheets I've gotten more into buying blocks or strips, especially older stamps. I haven't shopped in Hip Sta…
-
Olleg......do as I do in Ebay I contact the seller NOT to invoice me because of having more items on my watchlist. You can also just add them to your cart without paying for them right way.
-
Michael Duehr, Thanks for your in depth explanation.
-
I've pretty much gotten the answer I was looking for. Whether or not they could be used for postage. One says yes...others say no. I'll just contact my local postmaster and he should be able to tell me. At one time they could be used but there's no …
-
Nostalgic for me I guess. I'll have to mention them to our local post office. Thanks for posting Doug.
-
Appreciate your reply Ted. I guess now these are more for novelty. I live close to this area and that's why I bought them in the first place. I'm in a Facebook group from Lake Erie and the administrator said her Mother worked at Rattlesnake Islands …
-
Hey Michael...and anyone else..are you 100% sure these stamps can be used as postage? There's many different Rattlesnake Island stamps on Ebay. One seller has at least 4 BIN auctions going so I "asked the seller" if they could be used as postage and…
-
Thanks for all your replies. You've been very helpful.
-
So the imperf stamps such as these have to be cut off the sheet for use? Or can they not be used? https://www.hipstamp.com/listing/rattlesnake-island-1967-3-imperf-sheets/9681375
-
Michael...this is the Ebay listing with a pic of the stamps. I purchased 6 sheets. 3 off Ebay and 3 here. https://www.ebay.com/itm/RATTLESNAKE-ISLAND-1967-3-IMPERF-SHEETS/300306598735?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
-
Actually Michael I'm talking of the ones NOT perforated (fig 1). Not much doubt that the ones perforated are real but there were an additional 6 sheets listed as PERF stamps and you can see the sheet of 1 has no perforations. The listing is still in…
-
I appreciate your post but I don't know if it answered my question. Very informative though. I belong to a Facebook group of Lake Erie. The administrator of the group said her Mother worked at the post office on Rattlesnake Island but it has now clo…

This is the back of the first sheet. No gum.
-
Michael, I think the red flag's flying. I went into Ebay and saw another listing for the same quantity of stamps. That'll be 300 sheets of 20 per for a total so far of 6,000. Seems rather odd for a seller with 20 feedback don't you think?
-
And that's why I didn't bother Andrew. First I don't think I'd wanted that many as I'd seen 3 auctions to date from the same seller at 75 sheets of 20 each totaling 1500 stamps each auction. Sound risky to you? Sure did me. Maybe it wasn't a risk. I…
-
Believe me. I know there's a ton of forever stamps but I disagree with you about Forever stamps at less than cost. I know there are some like that right now. The new love stamps I've seen on Ebay listed at less than cost through the USPS. Makes me g…

I understand Carol what you're saying as everybody starts somewhere and as long as you're protected by either Paypal or Ebay it shouldn't be a problem but let me give you another example. There is a relatively new seller on Ebay right now that's sel…
-
It's always kind of scary ordering from a new seller with 0 feedback. Maybe that's why they offer stamps at a low price so to get a feedback rating. Thanks Mark for your input.
-
"What has that got to do with collecting stamps?" Nothing really since they were bought on eye appeal and being cheap. It was my choice when starting but sticking only now to USA stamps.
-
I've also just started collecting within the last 2-3 months with the hope of selling down the road (maybe sooner than later). 99 3/4% of my purchases are sheets and I basically buy on eye appeal although I've bought older sheets also. Most all are …
