What's Wrong With This Picture, Lol?

Zee says: "So you would do better putting the QV in sterling, the Canada in CAD and so on."

In your upcoming sales and auctions, soon to begin with your 50th post, I suggest you try that and see what happens.

The reason I joined SCF in the first place was to find more U.S. customers and cut down on the huge amounts I spend on postage to ship to Australia, where most StampBoards members live. I did not join to find less foreign customers.

Since SCF has separate threads for Sales and Auctions, it wouldn't seem necessary to include those word(s) in the title, but I'll try it.

Onward and upward.

doug2222 as I am moving my US stamps from liberty to hinge-less, I am going to be looking for mint versions of used stamps >1900, I'll let you know when I am ready.

But I am always interested in Indo-China and South Vietnam

I wouldn't worry about fitting the currency to the country so much. In my ebay dealings I usually work in US dollars, as I've found that most dealers, world wide (again, in my experience) use US currency to make things more homogeneous therefore easing trade. Less is more, as they say.
As for what to sell, there's enough variety of collectors here that eventually you'll hit on what gets peoples attention. Just doesn't work every time.
Looking forward to what you've got.

I have never really got past the old saying.

"Never mix business with pleasure!"

For me to talk about my auctions is one thing on SCF
but for me to turn SCF into my type of eBay is so much not me!

eBay, selling and buying just overwhelms me so much very week.

It is so nice to just be on SCF as little old me.

The best part about SCF is we can make up our own mind what to do and not to do when it comes to selling and buying.

All the best doug2222.

Always Happy Stamping. KGV

I generally use the "last 100 Active Topics" list on the left as my primary entry point to the forum. As this doesn't separate topics by which section of the forum they have been posted in, I rely on the titles, so for that reason, I too appreciate the word SALE" or "AUCTION" being included.

I am looking for worldwide mixtures. My first purchase from SCF was a worldwide mixture, and I had a blast going through it.

I agree although this is not always possible.


Only if you are signing on to eBay dot UK or eBay dot CA or dot AU or some such. Then you will appear in the local listings (not worldwide) and it would be more ideal then to list in that country's currency.

Some do this on eBay but the vast majority just list in their own currency.

I am OK with this as I have always had to exchange my Canadian dollar to US to buy stamps that I wanted so it is just part of the transaction for me.

Some are not so comfortable with exchanging their money for many reasons and so you must list in the currency of the marketplace, or the most people in the market so as to help to seem to be a good choice to buy from.

I have heard Canadians say well I am listing in Canadian dollars because I am Canadian etc etc and I wish them luck but the money and market (the vast majority of it here) is the US where they don't use the Canadian dollar. Strange but true.

You go where the people are, to sell.
