NOTE:
Unfortunately, we were approx $2,000 shy of our requirements from the last auction. So, here is another auction of great items starting at 1 cent no reserve, AND we have also put put everything else on sale in the store:
at cost or below!
There are some fantastic deals to be had on some really great items!
It's not fun selling this low, but we have to raise the funds.
So,
We reserve the right to cancel the sale AS SOON as we have the required funds
( Any auction items with bids will of course continue to completion, but we will also cancel any auction items without bids once we see ourselves out of our financial jam.)
Please buy items from store that you want ASAP, to avoid disappointment, and to put us out of our misery! :-)

All stamps are described to the best of my knowledge. I always try to illustrate the auction with clear, large photos . Please be aware that I have a limited knowledge of much of my material. Often a listing was a part of a much larger collection. Inspect the items carefully, as my descriptions may be brief. The item you see is the item you get! I enjoy working with stamps, but my other duties with http://www.strays.ca/ and http://www.strays.us/ usually leave me with too much to do, and too little time. Often a volunteer has taken the pictures, and I upload what I have. If you require a photo of back (or a clearer photo of the front if the uploaded one is not clear) and there is not one here, please let me know and I will be glad to either add one to the listing or send to you.

As general guidelines regarding descriptions, the condition of the items will be described as accurate as possible. With individual stamps, all of the generally accepted major flaws which are not always visible in the pictures, regardless of the resolution (e.g. thins, etc.) will be mentioned in the description if they exist. Flaws which are clearly visible in the pictures, like missing perfs., tears, creases , obvious soiling/toning, short margins on one or more sides, reinforced perfs. for multiples, etc. might not always be mentioned in the description and they alone do not constitute an acceptable reason in case of a return. Some "flaws" which are not uniformly accepted as being so, like paper adhesion on the back of a stamp, off-sets, natural gum skips or wrinkles, heavy hinging, etc. might not always be described.

I am not an expert by any means....but I'm trying, and I am sure having fun learning! I accept best offers...but please be reasonable.

As always, I'll be happy to answer any questions regarding the listings if I can.

This site is operated by Barry Tuddenham and will sell mostly, but not exclusively, worldwide covers and French stamps...two areas of collecting that interest me greatly...but of which I still have a LOT to learn! Please check out our listings...we have some fantastic items available. If you see an error in listing info, please let me know...

If you see an error in pricing and think an item is too low, by all means grab it up...but tell me where I made a mistake so I will know for next time. If I am too high, please tell me why you think so. Help is always appreciated.

If you are not familiar with us, please read our Terms and conditions :

This site will hopefully raise awareness of an issue that concerns me deeply... how animals are treated prior to reaching the dinner table . (Our profits will still go to help Strays) I see nothing wrong with eating meat, but how an animal is treated (or grossly mistreated to be more accurate) is a terrible injustice that should not be ignored by any caring person. Out of site out of mind does just not cut it....the barbaric practices now used, all to save a few cents, are truly insane!
