new issue

The new insect stamps are really good. They've been kept really simple on a plain background.

I'm currently using these to stamp kiloware lots - either in blocks of ten or complete sheets of thirty.

themes on the website

All stamps now being listed are also, where appropriate, listed under themes. This is the thumbnail for 'planes and helicopters'. All the thumbnails are from my own camera! If you look in the distance you can make out the Isle of Wight - this was on a recent trip to Prague.

more in hope than expectation

There's a new star in the eBay firmament!

This character advertises 10 stamps with the description 'Mixed lot of 10 stamps uk and worldwide used postage stamps.Will not be ones in the picture.I have a lot of stamps so please bid so I can clear some space in my cuboard.They have been stored in a cuboard so they are in quite good condition'. Starting at 1p - but with post at £1.00.

But wait - you can get 100 stamps (picture again nothing to do with what you'll get!) but postage is a bargain at just £5! £5 for 100 stamps ... oh dear!

No bidders so far of course ...

unusual revenue specimens (click to buy)

I've just managed to get my hands on several matched pairs of the Southern Rhodesia revenues in proofs, both perf and imperf. All will be listed today on the website.

this week's new issues

Out this Tuesday (1 April 2008) are the new 15p, 56p and 81p definitives, reissue of the 9p and the new high value country regional definitives. These are to cover the new postal rates valid from 7 April.

regionals ... bargain??

One of today's LOL offers on eBay is this tatty mounted selection of common regionals (yes, just the 6 3d ones) at a start price of just £5! At least the seller declares 'I no [sic] nothing about stamps'. Well. he said it!

'error' 'bargain'!!

It's very entertaining going through eBay listings and finding real howlers like these!

This supposed 'error' is obviously the result of the stamp being left in the sun so one side has completely faded. Fit only for the bin, this has the incredibly optimistic starting price of just £75!

Click the title link and you should be able to see the original listing at least for a month or so.

australian states revenues (click to buy)

Just added. This includes some stamps for King Edward VII, who only appeared on a couple of States postage stamps despite Australia not becoming a united dominion until 1912.

GB Foreign Bill fiscals (Click to buy)

From now I'll be showing what is being added to the website each day, together with links to the items. If you really want something snap it up straight away as much of the material I'll be putting on will be unusual and in demand!

I'm slowly adding items to the website - all very random at the moment as I've got stuff everywhere, not particularly valuable but always in the best condition! I'm putting some mint sets on today. Everything is priced to sell of course!

10kg kiloware lots (click to buy)

Current 10kg lots going out have been stamped up with the four unique panes from the James Bond prestige booklet, plus the very rare £5 blue - these all get CDS postmarks and I've seen this sort of material (often originating from my mailouts!) go for double face or more.

One more reason to buy your kiloware from us (see the website for how to order).

website at last! (Click to buy featured stamp)

After 5 years I've finally managed to start to put a website together! I am going full time from 1 February 2008 and the site will include stamps, kiloware, packets and coins. You can order on line and pay by cheque or Paypal - items can be sent anywhere in the world. There's not a lot on there yet but give me time ...
