Best college game I've seen in a long time. QBs both sides outstanding.

...or wants to offer a payment alternative if the buyer has ditched PayPal.

@ Scott I bit of a guess but he probably wants to ditch PayPal. There has been a bit of an uproar over their threat to fine PayPal users who spread "misinformation". PayPal has backed off by pretending it was all a mistake.

@ john o'neil You can look at the sample pages in the link above to get an idea of their pricing. The value of the catalogue is the amount of information compared to any other source. The current edition is over 900 pages vs. Unitrade at 31 pages.

https://www.nfldstamps.com/ The Walsh Newfoundland Specialized. Now in its 14th edition. A catalogue dedicated to Newfoundland stamps and postal history. Much more detailed than Unitrade.

The 'Line in Medallion' variety is a constant plate variety according to the book Canada Steel Engraved Constant Plate Varieties by Hans Reiche. There are many such 'flyspeck' varieties in the George V - George VI eras. These type of varieties are w…

I am under the impression, possibly mistakenly, that HipStamp does not show sold item listings.

Both Prince Albert stamps are #17 shades. The #16 is a distinctive black brown. Please look at on-line listings of #16 that have legit VGG certificates to see what the correct black-brown shade looks like. Often no-nothing or crooked dealers will of…

Very well said, Michael. Also, Scott catalogue values refer to a stamp in VF condition without any faults. You need to keep that in mind when you see a seller boasting of a high catalogue value for a faulty, off-center stamp.

#632 perf 11 x 10.5, yellow green shade. The giveaway, besides horizontal/ vertical perfs being different and the yellow-green shade, is being on a postal stationery piece that wasnt issued until 1932. The rare Franklins were long gone by that time.

John, You have forgotten that the Argos won the Grey Cup (Canadian football championship, for our American friends) the other week!

Thanks for all the responses. It's good to see that there are dealers on HipStamp who use collectible recent stamps for postage. I'm tired of buying $50-100 worth of material with $2-3 shipping charge and receive package smattered with out of date p…

Sparks Auctions in Ottawa handles the inventory and sale of books for BNAPS. You should check with them. https://sparks-auctions.com/bnaps-books-list/

Ronald Uninstalling, then reinstalling NoScript worked for me.

PayPal refunds the 3%, or whatever the % is. They do not refund the base 30c fee.
-
Assuming the stamp was purchased on HipStamp, I'd make sure HipStamp knows about it too, even if the seller makes full restitution (either full refund or the actual stamp with cert). Many shifty sellers rely on the buyer not noticing and/or complain…

So what does one do with a post card for which the main collecting interest would relate to postal history? i.e. postage due markings, DLO, rate to foreign destination?
-
Dan Can you show any specific examples of the bait and switch? You would need to scan and upload images of actual received items and provide the link to sold listing?
-
Billsbargainstamps, a waste of time if you ask me. Following Ron's instructions the seller has over 78000 listings and only 400 solds over the past 2 months for a 0.25% monthly sell-through rate. Most of his stuff sells on a 'best offer' (less than …

Of course, the seller made the mistake, the seller pays. Same thing if the seller misidentifies and/or misdescribes an item.
-
Carol, thanks for the info. Of course eBay was the first out of the gate. On-line selling sites have matured greatly since then.
-
OK, thank you.
-
Thanks Mark. I'm not sure why, but from reading other threads I was under the impression that migration was complete.
-
What Mark has said about the viability of the Bidstart site is the same as what SG told us yet SG did keep Bidstart open. Never abruptly pulled the plug like what Mark has done. On other threads he claims that he gave everyone fair warning, thats ho…

Thanks Thomas. I haven't set up a seller account yet. Had been on Bidstart for a number of years. I use Firefox too, so this is a concern to me. I'm not a web design expert but from what I understand it is the designer who should be checking for com…
-
Thanks for the quick reply Ken. That would mean that the problem is with the new site, not Firefox.
-
Ken and Thomas, I assume you didn't have this problem when printing invoices using Firefox and Bidstart?
-
I wholeheartedly agree with the initial post. Hipstamp is a specialty site. Members should expect a greater degree of accuracy and forthrightness from sellers. Sellers who consistently puff up their descriptions and overgrade their offerings should…

"Within the next week all of the records you're referring to should be within HipStamp itself, as we're importing full order information from bidStart. After that time, if you believe there is anything missing just let us know." Well how about Bids…
