FRESH is BEST!! – a new price has been negotiated. New stamps issues can be sold for $8.00 per kg – please get them to me a.s.a.p !

All current 55cent stamps- & those of lesser value, are sold by weight – on SINGLE PAPER – for $3.00 per kg.

All foreign stamps are sold on DOUBLE PAPER ( ie full thickness of the envelope) & fetch $28.00 per kg.

All stamps over 70cents in value are sold on DOUBLE PAPER & fetch $28.00 per kg.

All loose stamps ( ie stamps that have no paper backing ) have to be separated out & fetch $2.00 per kg

If you have a stamp album to donate – please leave the stamps
IN THE ALBUM – this saves them from potential damage.

TRIMMING STAMPS
All stamps need to be trimmed, leaving about 1cm of paper on the surround. If cut too close to the stamp, thus removing perforations, the stamp is more garbage.
More dollars are made by sorting special stamps for special customers- ie Australian Protectorates such as Christmas Island.
JUST SORTING WOULD BE A HUGE HELP !
