Recognising my ignorance of US and Canadian material, I'm struggling to see more than a few hundred quid's worth here.

I buy and sell all the time and I agree with you. I saw no high value single items at all.

I don't know what's going on but it hints very strongly at money laundering. Buyer and seller are the same person or partners. The money, which originated who-knows-where, becomes clean, accountable income for the seller. As for the buyer, he'll never be traced as he's not a real person, just a fake ID for the operation.

Ringo, that's a very plausible explanation. You may be correct.

Why would someone bid $30,000 when the description says, "Stamps are in overall great condition. First $25K takes them"?

Something does not smell right.

I had a problem with that one as well. And the second time it's price was dropped to $27.000 if I read this correctly.

No one of you notice the obvious ?

the guy show 12 pages with an average of 6.5 stamps per page
he have 19 binders of 25-30 pages, let's say 30

so 3847 stamps instead of the 12 to 15k advertised

$ 7,79 per stamps
