I doubt there have been more stamps issued for any living human being than have been issued for the present Queen Elizabeth II. The second year of "The Crown" on Netflix is now out and if you like history and great acting and theatre then I would su…

John Fields: Great to hear of your windfall the first of many you have had over the years, I am sure. Shows that large payments may often be shipped this way as NWL said they do it all the time. I also mentioned above that people with excess diamond…

Studied the various threads and wasn't sure where to put these comments. One thread talks about the US Postal Site going downhill. others mention various thought on protecting a shipment. This made me think of the Hope Diamond not the most valuable …

Some sellers have used the Hip option of blocking buyers and it sounds like a good idea to me for buyers to be able to block sellers. I live in Canada and some sellers (one I tried to check store items at) have blocked buyers from Canada from lookin…

Just received a stamp I bought on Hip Stamp. The US seller paid $1.16 used three attractive 32c and one 20c stamp. Yes you should sell into the Canadian market - thousands of stamp buyers here. Even though the US dollar is worth about 25% more than …

Mark: Your input above encouraged me to give it a try. My first effort is now up and running until Jan. 1 for Canada Counter booklets.

Michael: You probably did this in a few minutes but what a great idea and a great ad. I wish you great success with this offer and the rest of your sales. Have a great trip. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. John Talman

TD Canada Trust has backed down and apologized to a Ontario family and released more than $846,000 after CBC reported that their original bank draft had been lost by UPS. Sent via UPS in February the shipment has never shown up. You should be able t…

John Fields: I am a Canadian and don't usually check on the taxes paid by anyone in the USA or even in Canada. If you think hard you might figure out a couple of reasons why a man or woman might not want money transferred in to their regular account…

John Fields: As mentioned at start of this thread this was a CBC story and you can find CBC on the internet (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) but just try CBC. The story is featured as one of their top stories even showing a picture of a couple of…

Carol: Obviously these people did not use a wire transfer. People who deal in cash (Not in this case,) may not use a wire transfer and then of course there is bitcoin. You can probably find the full story of this lost packet on the internet. My warn…

John Fields a couple of people I regularly deal with phoned me and told me they had used the heading I used for this thread to get more of the story. They used Google and just typed in "Inheritance Lost With Courier" for much more of the story. Perh…

There is a great write up by Tim Hodge in Linn's Stamp News on October 16, 2017 with the title "Airmail rarities take flight in Cherrystone sale. He mentions the Harry Hawker pilot and Kenneth Mackenzie Grieve navigator flight in 1919 in a single e…

We took another vote and have decided that your Staff picture in the Forum should only show the ladies. Big improvement!
-
Perhaps if we could do the Addresses in braille it would help the postal workers?

Mark: A few of us took a vote. Time to change your staff picture over the holidays. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all. John Talman

Back on August 28/17 I mailed a letter with contents to South Africa. About a week ago buyer put a claim in with Pay Pal for non-delivery. One of my helpers paid him back for the item. Today this buyer notified me that shipment had just arrived and …

Paul: Not mentioned doesn't mean forgotten. What I said was we haven't had enough wins in the last few years. Now is this the year for our Hockey team? One of my philatelic friends met with me on Saturday and said he got seasons tickets for the Argo…

John Cole: Saw an unusual picture of the snow and freezing rain in Georgia this weekend. Never saw that in Gone With The Wind! Also wanted to report that our local Soccer team beat Seattle on Saturday on a cold but dry day here to capture the North …

Many of my customers have limited their collection to ending at the beginning of 1900 or thereabouts; 1940, 1960 or 1980. I like to think they appreciate stamps on their mail and some have told me they like to see stamps on their mail but most don…

Hmmm!! Let me think about this intriguing question or questions. When did Canada's Centennial Issue become complete? Unitrade catalogue lists it at being issued from 1967-1973 and the basic Scott has it 1967-1972? By the way the issue was started to…

The Canadian 1897 Hi-Value Jubilees were used to pay for the mailing of papers at that time at I think was 1c or so per paper. Some enterprising chap in Winnipeg decided to pay this with $3. $4 and $5. Jubilees Scott #63, 64 & 65. They turn up w…

My long time friend Robert from City Stamp phoned me today and he tells me he is looking forward to selling on Hip Stamps and says he has heard some good things about it. He has someone who will look after his store for him and was only returning my…

On Sept. 16th I mentioned in a thread that there were 731 stores on Hip Stamps. City Stamp Montreal may have been store 766 just this week on or about Dec. 6th. Mark must be doing something right to attract so many more stores and such a store as th…

Seems to me the Drought and Fire seasons are lasting a very long time this year. Lets hope those seasons end now and good luck to all in the danger zones.
-
Robert: Just recently I was thinking of listing some of the 1918/1945 Palestine stamps and I recalled your thread. Not sure if this was a recent change perhaps brought up because of your input above but now they have two listings for new listings. T…

I will help a competitor by saying use City Stamp Montreal or Robert Cooperman for best results.
-
Charles: Selling stamps is not an exact science. You say you want to sell them as quickly as possible. No doubt if you give them away, or for very low prices, they will quickly disappear to someone else and in that case selling in store is probably …

Ted: Thanks for the info I have known Robt. Cooperman of City Stamp for years and he has very high quality material. This should be good for Hip Stamps and might attract some big spenders. Perhaps you could let us know why you announced his arrival …
