Another kiloware just in is Thailand. It's supposed to be a general charity mix but it is so packed with commems that I had a job finding definitives for the sample photo!

eBay hilarity
I've started looking through eBay for sale items again as I'm looking for classy items for stock.
One little side interest is discovering the daftest listings. This gem was today's.
Why anyone would bother scanning and listing tat like this I don't know - perhaps because it's now free to list on eBay if you're an amateur. But even if it's free to post surely there are better ways of wasting one's time?
The funniest bit with this is the blurb - and this is TOTALLY genuine -
quite truly amazing! exhibit quality. line engraved, PERFS - unperforate. 4c.delicate postmarked. amaranth purple.
Yes, EXHIBITION quality!!!!! That delicate postmark, the sheer rarity of this stamp, the neatly scissor cut right hand margin - what philatelic exhibition could afford NOT to display this classic gem?
(Needless to say it remained unsold at a start price of 99p)
