You can ask whatever price you want for anything. I've got a 2001 Honda with 338,000 miles on it. I'd like to get $20,000.

Yeah, the majority of Invaluable listings for stamps are just stupid. It's usually a coin or antiques dealer that has ZERO clue, and is using the "it's old so it must be valuable" approach.

I still keep subscribed though, as every now and then an auction will pop up that I would miss otherwise, usually a smaller house not listed at SAN.

A while back I won a 4-stockbook lot of approximately 9,000 Mexican revenues from Fusco, which I wouldn't have seen otherwise.

But they are 150 years old, they must be rare!

Sometimes you can get lucky though. Same with Etsy. I picked this up with an unsurcharged example a while ago for $20.00 for the pair.



I can't remember what I sold it for, but I did make money.

Rare stamp, I'm sure you made a very nice profit on this one.

My dad has a 1996 honda civic that he will sell. For $1,000,000!
It has ONLY 186000 miles and has hail damage. And a hole in the bumper.

1typesetter, how much are those revenue stamps actually worth?

In that condition the two first issue revenues are worth next to nothing. The beer stamp is quite valuable, even with some damage.

The beer stamp catalogs at $1750.00. The other two I wouldn't give a quarter for.
