I bought this at auction on ebay yesterday for $C 4.01.



The comps I was able to find before bidding indicated a going price of $C 30 - 35 so I was really surprised to see it go at such a short price. I'm new at this auction business and would value other's insight.

Looks like a nice stamp at a good price to me. Clean, nicely centered, good cancel, no visible defects.... yes, it looks like you got a good deal, unless S&H was $30.

Nope, free shipping.

I guess my uneasiness comes from the old adage about a deal looking too good to be true.

If stamp is faulty with thin tear or crease then you came out just ok. Dealers on ebay are becoming quite routine at not describing faults. Otherwise, nice stamp great price!

The Used stamps in this set catalog almost as much as the mint, unless it is No Hinge. For the 10c the 2015 Unitrade catalog value for Fine condition is $80 CAD. Looks like you got it for 5% of catalog, so great deal !

If you want to bump it up to F-VF, then it's $140 CAD.
