Do you have perf info? 696 is a similar red-brn 10p variety.

Large groups: definitely by country or area. i sit at a 6' table, put North and South America piles in their respective corners then the Caribbean in the middle to the right. Do similar with Europe, Asia, Middle East, Africa. Then Australia and Oc…

I would gladly offer send her free stamps to fill a space in her books just to see the rest of her holdings and the strategy for her arrangements!

My first experience with albums started back in the middle to late 80's....I also collect circulated coins as well (my aunt started collections for my mothers "sons" back in the 30's; we weren't born until the mid-50's). The power of faith!! One d…

I really like the ease of use and the number of stores on this site as we Buyers can visually pick out the grade and appearance of an item before purchase... almost liked bringing a stamp show into your living room. But issues like these give me be…

As a buyer, I had two instances in the past where I changed duty assignments and a seller (one is still selling on HS) negged my feedback with no attempt of communication because the bid closed during my move across country and I didn't pay for a fe…

I've done similar with some of my sellers (paid after 4-5 buys or after an understood amount was reached) but I will look at your solution as well. There a number of sellers I track regularly (some weekly)! I also get an email when my Favorite Sell…

He is risen Indeed!

I think I got it: you have to double click to add the note. Then the green check mark.

I am trying to use this feature but I'm not getting something right. Can someone list a brief set of instructions? To be clear, we are talking about "watched" items, not "want to buy items", right? Thanks.
-
I will 3rd it!
-
If the question is to "send a message to the watchers offering a $$ deal", I as a buyer filling 4 different album sets would certainly be interested.

Forget the last post. I have #230 in that large quantity... sorry. I do have a few extra #231 also but I will have to get into my stock book to find out how many.

On my recent buys this week I saw what Mark describes...[unpaid items] which is a good part of the solution but what I would also like to see is a "reminder" from the shopping cart: When I go to "Pay Now" I would like a mention that "There are addi…

There are some clubs that solicit such stamps for use in juvenile detention centers; not sure what exact use they have (i.e. merit awards, teaching topics, etc). I sent a few hundred out a couple of years ago and got a nice letter and school info in…

A comment from a buyer: the quantity option is helpful if a seller is honest about it and also lists actual grades of the stamps.. I put many topicals together of like subjects and if a seller has multiples listed, I will buy from one site.
-
i asked one of my sellers the same question (for the same reason) a couple weeks ago... he decided to credit the extra shipping to my PayPal account. Seems to me back in Bidstart days the software checked both "checkouts" and asked if you wanted to…

Hello Elizabeth: My first question regards your interest in the hobby: are you interested in being a collector or are you simply interested in identifying the stamps and its associated value?? If only the latter, a couple of self-help online res…

Some nice Civil War stuff and others...Thanks Andrew.

To clarify the above, I just recently started buying again on Hipstamp after a 3 year 'vacation'.
-
Yes, several with Bilbo 79 ad at least once with Spectra, both back in the Bidstart days. Both are still in my favorites... I would have removed them if there were any serious issues or negative feedback.
-
Yes, a number of items with Bilbo 79 and a few from Spectra back in the BidStart Days. Both are still in my favorites... I rarely leave neutral or negative feedback without remembering who and why so I must have liked the service and product.

I have several each: back to the light box we go!

I will seldom buy either of the two conditions with few exceptions: 1. Someone has asked me put a topical collection together. 2. The stamp is already graded as genuine with the repairs listed on the certificate. 3. I am buying from someone I hav…
