Ok I think Dan might just be a little unhappy with the local USPS. Either that or he is taking after our own @lordmarcovan and has just gone stamp happy... Regardless, this made my morning 38 different 15 cent stamps plus 5 cents extra lol
That's funny..... One of my local coin haunts was a stamp shop long before he was a coin shop. He finally gave up on stamps, but you can go into his place now and he has put all of his old stamps on envelopes and sells the pre-stamped envelopes for the cost of postage using his antique stamp inventory. And man he has stacks and stacks of them!
A lot of stamps can be bought at a discount from face value, then used as postage at full retail value.
I also use stamps to mail packages. No one wants them so I use them and it costs me nothing. I paid face for them many moons ago.
This used to be commonplace with coin dealers. They would buy surplus postage from stamp dealers and cover their packages with it. So much post was printed long ago and there is so little demand for it from modern collectors that the packages would often be covered with low denomination stamps from the 1930's and 40's that the dealer bought for 60 to 70% of face value.
