WORTHLESS STAMPS -----Wife was on my case about the stamp mess in the basement closet before I purchase more stamps .So this weekend I removed a stockbook binder of stamps ,It contains thousands of stamps all modern complete sets of Burundi ,the first thought was the binder is worth a few dollars used and the pictorical modern stuff was 2 cent filler material much like the way I purchased it part of a bulk lot many years ago . First thing done was match up what was on album pages and fill in a few more pages ,remember this was like mounting labels and stickers nothing to check, nothing of value.Good worldwide collectors have tons of this common worthless stuff ,we just live with it and move on . After I got finish adding a few pages thought of just forgetting the rest of the binder exist.So looked around e-bay to see how to dump the huge inventory .Surprise surprise the sets sell for a few dollars apiece and many stamps sell for huge prices {huge -meaning the price paid and the price its now selling for },remember this stuff ain't worth 2 cents apiece at a stamp auction but on e-bay it goes for over thousand dollars if listed and sold ,shocking just shocking ....who would pay a buck for a butterfly label oh i mean stamp . That stuff sells and get multiple bids, oh well .....like money in a bank ......paul
