Hello I have been offered this vast world wide collection. The guy wants $4,500 for the entire collection which he claims has around 10,000 stamps in it. You can view these stamps in the links below. I haven't had much time to look through all the pictures yet. He said that he will include another 4-5 thousand stamps not in the pictures. So what do you guys think, Deal or no Deal?

I am not very familiar with many of these stamps so if you see any great key stamps please let me know. Thanks again.

The album comes in three links:

A better than average selection 10,000 stamp collection in a Scott International 1840-1940 Big Blue, but $4,500?

No way. IMHO

These 10,000 collections can be had for under a grand on 'Bay, or perhaps a bit more with a nice selection.

He does have nice France.

I skimmed through the links and saw many nice stamps. After looking at a couple of countries I collect, I don't believe that the collection is worthy of the price that is being asked.

Thanks guys for giving straight responses. if not $4500 then what would be fair in your opinion. phib, I don't know what you're talking about, I haven't bought the album and I sure haven't spent $4500 on the collection. I haven't even looked at the pictures, after opening the links I realized I did not have the time to sift through the vast array of pictures. So I posted the links here to see what you guys think.

I have seen all scan he did

This is not a collection of $4500

He got good stamps of Australia / Belgium / France

I dont see any KEY VALUE that will bring your invesment back

So " NO DEAL " is good for you.

@Footballphilately

If you are not interested to purchase the collection..& you dont have the time to go through all scan

Then how you do expect that some one else has time to see all the scan for you.

and let you know ....Deal or No Deal..

Dont waste people time my friend

I tend to agree.
If I was thinking about purchasing a collection of any value I would FIRST OF ALL look at it myself. then I may pass it on for others' opinions.
It's a bit strange this thread to say the least.
