TOPICALs and worldwide
1) Most stamps are mint never hinged, and sold in complete sets unless stated otherwise. Click here for abbreviations used in identifying the condition or type of item listed.
2) Scott cat #'s are always used, unless the cat # is preceded by a letter in parenthesis designating the catalogue used. The letters are as follows:
(G) Gibbons (M) Michel (Y) Yvert
Where the catalogue number reads 3 alpha and 3 numeric characters - AUS005 - it simply means that we have no cat # number available at the time the item was entered, and we are using our own numbering system to locate stock when ordered. These items will always appear at the end of a country listing. Such items will be updated when the cat # becomes available, and will automatically appear in the correct chronological sequence.
3) Every single item is listed as to its condition which is noted before the description. Click on Cond to see abbreviations and corresponding explanations of the abbreviations.
4) Click here for a list of all current topics available, and click here for a list of all countries in stock. These lists will both grow as we continue to add many thousands of items from collections purchased every month.
5) Our pricing policy is simple. We have no fixed % discount from Scott catalogue values. It is common knowledge that Scott prices thousands of items well below their true market value as evidenced by the pricing structure almost everywhere else in the philatelic world. Consequently our prices are based on our ability to purchase the material as low as possible from dozens of sources around the world. When we purchase real bargains the savings are passed on to you. We are not the highest priced dealer nor the lowest, but you will find across the board, that our prices are fair and equitable. Having said this, no item is sold below 25¢, regardless of catalogue value or condition. The work involved in uploading items makes it economically not viable to sell any items below 25¢, and even more so when images are uploaded as well.
6) Every so often we will offer specials that may last as much as a month or for a few days only. These offers will be listed in our NEWSLETTER LINK and under SPECIAL OFFERS, so we urge you to bookmark our site, visit often and keep abreast of what's new and exciting via our newsletter link.
