I have some old unexploded US booklets I'm thinking of selling. Can anyone tell me which auction house would be the premire venue to sell them in? thanks

http://page.auctions.shopping.yahoo.com/auction/75982355?aucview=0x13 Notice the stamp on the left top row. Apparently when all the perforations are cut off a stamp that makes it imperforate! Dave (always learning something new)

This one has been withdrawn but, if you're successful in buying it, it's not to late to bid. If you see what I mean..... http://www.trademe.co.nz/Electronics-photography/Other/auction-36725938.htm -- Cheers - John Mycroft coryton_at_cobbsmill_dot_com

Other than a few specific topics I collect worldwide up to 1960. It seems to me that over the last, say, 6 to 8 months, winning bids have been getting higher and higher on both ebay and delcampe. I also noticed that people who contact me privately have also been asking for higher prices (for...

Have any of you ever won an regular (not on-line like Ebay) auction at less than your bid, like one raise over the next lower as they state? Not me. I alway end up paying whatever I bid. Wrong auction firms? How do you figure your bid when a cat value is give? 30%? 15%? What about when an...

I've been sniped on eBay a few times, and have learned to avoid it by bidding top dollar for items that I really want. However, I've just been looking at a service, at http://www.auctionsniper.com/default.aspx, that offers free sniping, and it seems to make dollar sense. I'm still not sure just how...

How do you decide what to bid at a mail auction (not eBay)? Especially if you bid on groups of atamps - album pages from various countries for example - rather than specific items or sets. What about a mish-mash of stuff in cartons? Let's say the lot has an estimated value of $100 - 125. What...

Nice to know you have such "exalted" friends Mette :) we have towns in Australia named Augusta. I was surprised to see how many stamps I had commemorating "Augusts", spread across Europe and the US. Here is one from the US Catalogue http://cjoint.com/data/kgv5YmVncg.htm What are the tools in...

Australia: 29 Dec.1948 (PM.48) 2½d Scout tied to Jamboree souvenir cover by "PAN PACIFIC SCOUT JAMBOREE/ YARRA-BRAE/AUST" hexagonal cancel.

I have a few of these (Perfin OS) and unfortunately Scott does not provide any information. Is there somewhere on the Internet that this information can be located? I'm not worried so much about value - simply how many issues there were so I can make pages properly with space for all. TIA

Back in 1994 the Chinese New Year stamps came on scene with Australia and Christmas Island on the stamps. These are Christmas Island stamps so I wonder why Australia has to appear on the stamp. The first two years the stamps were "modern" images, the following years they fall back into the...
