Do I Sometimes Pay Too Much ?

Bobgggg is correct...he has the ability to skin a dealer alive ..he showed me a DDR collection Saturday ..missing only a very few items..it had souvineer sheets I had never seen before...he must slip the dealer a drug to get it for what he paid !! I was going to go along with ending the thread but it just keeps on going..i paid too much for an item at a show 6 months ago..because I was frantic I had spent the day and had nothing to show for it..so I purchased a box of covers for $100..they may be worth half that...but I go along with the consensus...THINGS EVEN OUT IN THE LONG RUN

Philb......no worries. I have just come back from Independence Day celebrations. I bought a hamburger for 20 shekels.

It wasn't even worth ten.

Now I have to have some Passion Fruit sorbet to make up for it.

LB,




Life's rough!

i will answer my own question..since I probably spend no more than 1 percent of my gross income on stamps...i doubt if I pay too much

My turn. Certainly, I pay too much at times.
But occasionally I make a sale where someone else pays too much ... to me.
For example, I sold a set of Guatemala revalued for $83 that only cost me about $5 (started the auction at $9.99). That sale helped level the field a bit.

Anyone looking to buy Guatemala stamps?

I may have just killed any hopes to sell Guatemala stamps here on SCF.

Marty I am trying to think of which set would bring that much..i purchased tons of Guatemala over the years..but unfortunately its all minimum or close to minimum catalog value..packet material.i think it had to be one of the long airmail sets !!
