GB Machins, daily competitions, what not to buy, the IPDA and more

Hello, I have a GB Machin RR invitation on my stamp blog. If you
collect Machins this might be of interest to you.

Also I thought I'd also just tell you about the IPDA - International
Philatelic Dealers Association. You may not be a dealer but you may
sell ocassionally on eBay or Stampoffers of somewhere else even.

You may be trading stamps and at times wonder if you are sending good
stamps in exchange.

This association is one I have known for a year plus now and I
recommend a look at their web site http://www.ipdaonline.org/index.html

I mention this now because I was asked to become a Board Director. I
accepted and was voted in.

You may know I am passionate in promoting this wonderful hobby and I
think this association has a role to play in doing that.

I hope you have time to look at the site as I think there are some very
useful topics covered.

If you buy stamps over the internet please have a look at my stamp blog
for the past week. http://blog.michael.dodd.com

I am not selling. Far from it.

I am showing what you should not, in my humble opinion, be buying over
the internet. If you differ, well its your money eh!!! and of course
this is the quality I dont belive we should be trading with each other
either.

And as I said at the beginning, if you collect Machins you also might
find some of the articles on the blog of interest.

If you dont look you wont know what you have missed :-) big smile
enjoy your stamps...... best wishes... Michael
