Stamp Story: Starting with the Xenia Auction there will be a switch in emphasis away from stamps ideal for beginners and towards stamps intermediate and advanced collectors are interested in. Then too trading is going to be stressed to encourage doing trading. After all the 25% volume discount is truly sufficient to assure StampTraders prices are lower than anyone elses' but a 50% discount reduces our prices to the absurb. A StampTraders trading partner should reasonably be awash with Script so much so that they never pay over half their bid amounts. They would buy big important stamp collections in large public stamp auctions and trade off those many stamps not required in their own collection. As broad as my selling activities are I often buy such a collection on the basis of less than 500 directly saleable stamps and I then must figure out where to store the 2000 to 3000 lesser stamps. Of course there are no StampTraders with whom I can trade off my duplicates! But YOU do have such a place and the ramifications in terms of fun + opportunity + low prices are so dramatic that you personally should embark on trading immediately. MNH 3cers get minimum 200% of face treatment and 4c; 5c; and 6c MNH obtains 150%. So start with postage trades and graduate to other stamps as you gain experience and trust relating to trading!

This Xenia Auction offers 40 lots per day Monday thru Thurs ending Sept 4th. This is Lot 1. The Xenia leans towards mint stamps (69%) yet there quite a few used too. Prices before Script discounts are competitive - prices after discounts are unbelievable! The Xenia has many better stamps including some rarely offered on SW in auctions: Mint #88; 161; 191; 275; 276; 310; 341; 342; 382; 387; 480; 547; E2; K15 and K16 and Used: 14; 17; 33; 138; 139; 261; 262; 263; 277; 278; 312 and 388. The Xenia is certain to be fun for all even though there won't be many stamps below $5.00!

Because this is a slow time for stamps you'll find a better selection of stamps and less competition for them. In March dealers will be going crazy trying to keep up and buyers will be bidding prices up to the moon. The wise buyer is buying in September often obtaining prices never to be seen again! Consider streamlining your collection by getting your trading with StampTraders done now. We have time for trading so take advantage (many are enjoying our generous trading program!)

100% of s/h cost is refunded with Script. Every winning bidder receives not less than $2 Script and our flyer 'Trading Stamps With StampTraders'. Unbelievably you get a 25% discount of total bid amount (Script). That's crazy so no one else does this; you win! Script is the same as cash in future auctions to pay up to half invoice amount. If you view our first lot Tuesday you'll see our Script.

If you pay using PayPal we'll ship whatever you've paid for right away. Email with your shipping or payment plans; we'll generally agree to them no matter how creative they are! I also trade for anything US. Others aren't as flexible in these regards. Let's have some fun and do some trading during September.

All lots have both normal bidding and BIN (at $200.00). If you bid you've killed the BIN option so no one else can commandeer this stamp. Of course bids might eventually exceed what had been BIN originally. If you must have a stamp and get there first you can use BIN and the stamp is yours!
