King George Red With Noticeable Error Is It Common Or Special ?

Good for you or good for me?

My offer for that page would be $60.


John

No John 60 will not do it for me there is much more than $60 worth in the first 2 lines

It is now Tuesday what did he say ?

Haven't seen Alan Pitt yet, been too busy with my business, but I will see him the moment he is operational after the New Year. Of course you have no idea what I'll be discussing or showing, but there is one thing I can say and that is I will explain to him the real value of your stamps, and not buying them saved him a lot of money.

I am not a person who will get involved with a personal tit for tat, but I will step in if I believe it is warranted.

The value you have placed on your collection is preposterous, and nowhere is the collection valuable. If it where I would consider your price as it would warrant the rarity status of your stamps, what I saw on the other site was enough to know that I wouldn't touch your stamps with a barge pole.

I will show proof tomorrow concerning the "Robes" block of 4 where your catalogue price is untrue and the selling price is hundreds of dollars over the current market value of the stamps.

Now why don't you upload that block of 4 Coronation Robes and let's also see the back of the stamps, you do know it is very important to see the back of any stamp, so as to see if the gum is not cracked, rusted, regummed, hinged, repaired or damaged in any way.

Now you say the catalogue price of the MUH block of 4 tinted (thin) without any selvedge (which obviously removed any evidence whether it were an imprint block or a block without imprint) is $482 and your asking price is $483.

I recall on the other forum you mention certificates, can you upload one of them with the stamp.

Tomorrow I will show you my evidence and you show me which catalogue mentions the catalogue value you gave.

One more thing - You said "Funny enough I do have a Inverted Jenny happy to post pics of it too but likelihood it's the stolen one or unaccounted one is not big but still it's cool to have and willing to part with it if by somehow it is. I'm happy to donate some of the reward money to a charity that helps homeless men."

In the other forum that same stamp you are mentioning was proven to be a fake.

Comment 1:"The inverted Jenny is probably not genuine, I think you know that, a better scan should show that."
Comment 2: "Well, it may be a passable fake, but its got the wrong perfs and too wide margins (not to mention a bit of the blind nuns efforts on the right)."
Comment 3: "Yes the ebay Grade "Million Dollar Jenny" obvious fake""

The stamps in the first two lines are (SG CV £??.??, ACSC CV ($??.??):

SG D64b CV £2 (ACSC $2)
SG D107 x 2 CV £22 (ACSC $36)
SG D70 CV £8.50 (ACSC $50)
SG D94 CV £3.50 (ACSC $6)
SG D91 CV £3.00 (ACSC $4)
SG D92 CV £1.00 (ACSC $1)
SG D93 CV £1.50 (ACSC $4)
SG D94 CV £1.00 (ACSC $0.40)
SG D95 CV £9.50 (ACSC $12)
SG D98 CV £26.00 (ACSC $25)
SG D97 CV £11.00 (ACSC $25)

So, your total is SG £87, ACSC $165.40.

In 20 years of internet trading, I have purchased postage dues at an average of 11.43% of catalogue. My initial calculation of the ACSC value of that page was $367, I offered you 16.4% of that assessment (15% plus a 10% allowance for damaged/waste).

In the end what they are worth are the result of my opinion and your opinion. If we agree, we have a sale, if we don't you get to keep them and you will end up the equivalent of the man with twenty rusty cars in your backyard ("I'm gonna do them up one day"). You won't sell them because you think someone is gonna get the better of you, you won't maintain them because you don't have the resources, knowledge or inclination.

I offer a price I think is advantageous to me, I don't want to on-sell, I want material for research so I don't pay single item retail price. Plate flaws, postmarks, shades, distribution.

A larger dealer will have multiple copies of what you have, so they will look at a stamp they have ten of, work out how long it will take to sell the ten before he sells yours, your CV is meaningless, your stamp effecively worthless in that circumsance.

As a specific example, the 2s D70 has a CV of $50. They are worth $5 at best, frequenty encountered in any decent effort to collect postage dues, not scarce, easily found, never worth $50.

I visit major delaers with books full of postage dues, I am the only one who ever looks at them.

If you want to extract some value, separate everything out so that you offer smaller lots of relevant material. Don't sell the Spanish with the US revenues and forgeries.

It will take work, hard work if you have no knowledge. Unless you get the knowledge (it takes years of time and effort) you cannot realise the full value of what you have, someone else's knowledge and effort will do that.

You are not Richard Juzwin, Tony Shields or Ian Perry, you cannot command the prices they do.

Good luck keeping your holdings forever, rather than letting them go to a knowledge base who will make use of what you have.



I must say you have remarkable capacity to communicate for someone living in a car.





. What is the registration number of your home or did you find lodgings between 6 December (1st quote) and 7 December (2nd quote)?

Mr Stampede

I didn't post 2 replies to your fake inverted Jenny stamp it was 3, and why should I call you a liar, the other forum already gave that impression about you.

It is not up to me to prove anyone wrong, but when one is challenged, then one will pick up the gauntlet.

I really do not think anyone on this forum is going to lose any sleep not purchasing any of your postage due stamps, they are quite common and can be purchased elsewhere in better condition cheaply.

I noticed you have KGVI stamps, not one of those stamps is worth anything, and I did promise you I was going to expose your preposterously over priced coronation block of 4 with a fictitious catalogue price.


Your block of 4 5/- tinted Queen Elizabeth without any selvedge and fictitious catalogue value of $482. It also has a white board background, an old trick to mask any perf damage or repairs. Why not show the back as well.


The true price for a block of 4 5/- tinted stamps, and these have an imprint at the base of the block - Price $110. These stamps are shown on Richard Juzwin's website, he is an internationally renowned Commonwealth stamp specialist.


The catalogue value of a block of 4 5/- tinted stamps shown in the ACSC (Australian Commonwealth Specialists' Catalogue, 2015). The conditions stated is mint unhinged and mint lightly hinged, and both must have the imprint. Yours do not, which devalues the stamp, so the real value would be around the $60 mark, providing of course the stamps aren't damaged, and the type of damage can affect the value again.

Now show me a copy of the catalogue that mentions your block of 4 5/- tinted coronation stamps being valued at $482, and why you are trying to sell those cheap stamps at $483.

And do not worry, I will be speaking to Alan Pitt after the New Year holidays and I will be speaking to him about the so-called 2 albums you offered him. It's amazing why this fellow would offer you $8,500 for 2 albums when he doesn't collect stamps.

And as they are prices you attached to your stamps means you have never had them expertly valued which means the value you believe your stamps are worth means ZERO to a philatelist.

I bought 2 stamps just before Xmas, one on cover, the other MUH, the total price was $6,225.

I can afford what one will offer if the value of the stamp(s) is professionally valued. At the moment I am focusing on KGVI and QEII, why not upload some of those that you consider scarce or rare, I'd love to see them.

Oh sorry, 40 years collecting against your recent inheritance and I'm the one lacking in knowledge.

See ya.

PS: see this lot:


$2,000 CV, purchased for $US20.

I've revised my offer for your stuff to $3, you pay registered post.

The way you are going, you may not make it to 60 posts and if you do I doubt anybody is going to buy from you, an attitude can be your worst enemy.

And speaking about ebay, even though I do not buy from ebay, as long as a collector knows what they are buying, it is a place where you can buy cheaply.

I can picture Don crying into his pillow, and of course making such a silly threat (as if we care) is your prerogative.

Who is Don?

Is he in the car with you?

Pfft.
Don

Many children have an invisible friend, he grew up making an enemy of his.

When adults have imaginary friends, it is called religion.

Let's keep the replies to just the topics header



It's about a particular stamp not a place to lodge personal attacks or post lies and troll about

Do not ask me about selling my stamps on here if its not about the stamp in question (topic) go have a post somewhere else.

What you mean who's the Don ??? *Godfather music plays in the background*

Is Don is good .

Mr Stmpede, are you a mod here now?
