Stamp Trading Offers

The following stamp trade offers are “good ’til canceled”.  If you know of a good online trading community (other than stampboards.com) I’d be indebted to you for letting me know.

I’m an active member in good standing of several societies, a Linn’s subscriber, and an eBay and Stampwants seller.  If you are an active APS member, have eBay feedback exceeding 300, or can provide approval dealer references, that will be sufficient collateral for a simultaneous send.  Otherwise, I’d like you to send first.

All prices in U.S. dollars.  I send quickly and use nice stamps.  I can frequently accommodate requests for specific themes on the stamps I use.  I can send by PayPal, check, m.o., or U.S. notes.  I can accept PayPal in U.S. funds (cc OK), check from U.S. bank (wait to clear), money order in U.S. funds, or Euro (@$1.10) or Pound (@$1.65) notes.

Email me first before sending: stamps@mcgees.org
