Chris- I have had difficulty on Stamps2Go being able to buy enough from one seller to justify the postage costs. Perhaps this is because I only collect MNH. Has this been an issue for you?

In terms of quantity it would be local shows, followed by the APS Stamp Store and their circuit book since I was able to go to Bellefonte and examine them firsthand. Lastly would be ebay, mainly for album pages of commons.

For my main US and India collection, ebay and local stamp shows are my sources. Bought only 1 item though SAN. Bids on SAN are getting very competitive these days. I would laugh in the face of anyone claiming the hobby is dead or dying.

For the Scott junior book, it is 100% through local shows. Last visit resulted in $40 damage and yielded 600+ stamps !

This is the first year ever I have traded more than I have purchased! I've traded lots with my brother - and gentlemen in this forum - and have hardly purchased any stamps at all.

Yes, this can be an issue with Stamps2Go. Sometimes once I buy something from someone, I will search for other stamps from that same person to try to limit postage costs. Sometimes, I will just buy from specific people who I've dealt with previously. But definitely agree with you that this can be a problem. I don't really like ebay...I should find a new site.
