Big fight at local post office. No shouting or name calling (out loud ) I have permits to use precancelled stamps and have been using them since 2002. Now

I have several Turkish semi-postals of the Postage Commemoration issue of 1916 (Scott B42-B45). B42 is overprinted in blue while the other three are overprinted red. However, I see no indication of this in Scott. Scott gives the impression that all four are overprinted blue. I was wondering...

I discussion came up in another forum in which someone stated that ebay did not exist before 1998. But I'm certian it's been around since at least 1996. Has anyone here been on ebay before 1998? Thanks
