$10 is probably too high of a starting point

at my local stamp club the starting bid would probably be 2 cents a stamp
Just looking at Germany...
math teacher: About how many stamps are there?
math student: Oh, maybe 500.
math teacher: Good! Now, what's 500 times $0.02?
math student: Lemme get my calculator out... $10.00!
math teacher: That's right! 500 times $0.02 equals $10.00.
math student: When are we ever going to use this?
math teacher: Now.
edit: The German lot contains 450 stamps. The other lots are all smaller.
