Hi! New Member From The Netherlands.

Hello,
I am a new member.
I collect kiloware lots.
I do this for over 20 years now.
I never met a collector that collects kiloware too!
When I started people thought I would soak the stamps but I never do that.
If I buy a lot I split it up in parts and spread it over different other lots.
So I create new lots with more different stamps and less duplicates.

For example if I buy a kilo of the latest stamps I get 50 different stamps.
Next year I buy again the same thing for the same price.
I have then 2 kilo's with 100 different.
After 10 years I have 10 kilo's with 500 different stamps for the same kilo price.
If I split this up in 10 x 1 kilo every kilo has 500 different stamps instead of 50 different stamps!

So that's how I create good kiloware lots.
In practice I buy lots of different types of kiloware.
New, old, big, small, bulk, high values, postmarks etc.
This makes my lots very adventurous and attractive.
And everytime I look through one of my lots I am happy.
It is a hobby. If I count my hours it would be extreme expensive.

Once in a while I sell some to make new buyings possible.
But most of the kiloware I keep in stock.
It realy is a perfect hobby and I enjoy it a lot!

That makes you a collector and part time dealer - like myself. Welcome!

Thank you Canadastamp!

I worked for a stampdealer in the 90's aswell.
For one and a half year as a volunteer.
He was a fantastic dealer but he got ill.
So I called him and I told him to let me rescue your company you are losing customers because you are ill. So I helped him and learned a lot from him.
For example a friend of him told him: always go for the quality and he told me the same!
I did the buying and selling for him.
He had not one damaged stamp in stock.
And he was cheap. (He wasn't rich).

I sell stamps sometimes not always. Depending on how much room that I have in my stamp collecting room. And I sell so I can buy new lots.
I didnt want to be a competitor of the fantastic dealer so I decided to specialise in kiloware. He sold single stamps and sets.
He passed away in the late 90's.
But I remember him as a perfect guy!

I enjoy this stampcommunity already a lot!
