Pitney Bowes Mail & Go Kiosks Color Computer Vended Postage

As of mid December 2012 The Pitney Bowes Mail&Go kiosks began to print twenty four new color computer vended stamps as sheets of 10 for almost every occasion, season or holiday. The designs are shown below. With the holiday, occasions, & seasons stamps are the US flag stamp & a US stamp showing the Canadian flag. The kiosks are also found in a number of corporate and college campuses. I just purchase a set of 24 and they are the same as these photos except the current rate of 49 cent is printed for postage. So far Scott has not included them in their annual CVP supplements. They are very popular at universities.

PB has not had great success finding places that want to rent their Mail & Go machines.

Probably because of the pricetag. You'd have to have a site with a high volume of postal traffic to warrant a $1000 to $1400 per month rental fee (as of 12/2013), which is why most have found their way into colleges and universities rather than retail sites.

For rental fee comment, see Slide #7 at this link:

It appears that such computer vended stamps are a very popular collectible in Canada with the Unitrade catalog now listing them and the prices for the first issue being very high. Some dealers have been going around different stamp shows asking for them from anybody and everybody.

Wouldn't touch them with a 10 ft pole and I'm from Canada. Just no comparison with engraved stamps. The Post Office has lost it entirely.
