Public Coin Chat / RE: Re-Use Stamps and Get Caught

Have not posted here for some time now!

No sales for here but kiloware is the base to my stock for my eBay anchor store.  Some of the sales of stamps turned into silver coins.

Just to throw another curve ball.

Over the last 4 months I have sold a heap of silver coins and purchased a heap of air plants(tillandsia) & material for a large 2nd bush house that has started a new eBay store.

What can happen collecting coins.......

Modern KG or 4,500 stamps on paper kiloware =  $40/$120 + mailing.

Unfranked =$150 They sell for more than face value in sets. Most sales are at 50% face value in bulk lots.

70c stamps = $50

60c stamps = $15

Left over resell = $5

Do not forget the convict heritage.

Thanks For Sharing serial.

I have been looking at silver coins for the last 2 years fairly seriously and have made some great buys. There is a strong possibility that as Feb peels into history I will go back to buying silver coins.

serial I could help but see that you are using knowledge and experience to position your gold and silver into a better position.

I did the same type of thing but have gone back to my horticulture experience as an investment and safe haven. Hopefully I will have a hothouse and greenhouse 14m x avg 3.5m built and finished by the end of this month also full of stock. So stamps have paid for it all! Could not bring myself to sell my coins. lol

It has been over 20 years since I have done anything in horticulture but I have a love for orchid! So orchids it is. It is a bit of a holiday as well and then back into silver coins. :)

So silver is at US$16.70 per oz but The Little Aussie Bleeder is at US$0.77.

The Perth Mint has silver at AU$22.50 and a 1oz bullion coin at AU$30.30

18 months ago the Aussie $ was at US$1.12.

Silver is not looking so good anymore to me.

Aussie $ is looking softer. A possible world recession looms.

Which would make the Aussie $ stronger?

I have jumped the fence into greener pastures!

That is a tough one if the seller can prove deliverer.

In recent times I got a defective item through eBay and in their sales pitch they guarantee free return mailing so I put it into action.

Received a returns label from the seller but it had no proof of delivery included in the cost so started a case with eBay.

Went back over the sellers feedback and found many, many people had been ripped off by this seller so I put the buyers that had been ripped off into 3 different groups with a detailed explanation and it was sent to eBay. I expected no reply from eBay but I did full on!

I will never really know the total outcome but I do know I got a lot of people their money back just because I had a very good look at the sellers history.

Coin Chit Chat / RE: PnC Search Help Please

Thanks Goldseeker for making sure I am up date.

Noticed there is only one PNC's advertised in the Nov-Dec issue.

Have found I rely too much at looking at these bulletin type issues instead of looking at the on line advertising.

My lack of being able to find searchable info on line is my downfall.

I am stuck between two worlds then it comes to a computer or not.

In the areas I know about computers I am fine but learning the ways of a computer does not come easy for me.

I got it  triplewitch! I can now search Auspost. It is so nice!

The word coin in my 1st part of the search was out of step.

Once I searched stamp I could then do as per your links.

Searching needs to be so very spot on.

Thanks so much for the links and replies!

Searching is something that I just not getting right.

But I will!

I can search eBay no worries in my areas.

Southern Lights was an expensive PNC at $24.95.

I do like it very much. I will keep looking for it.

Coin Chit Chat / PnC Search Help Please
December 05, 2014, 07:33:45 PM
I am having a lot of trouble searching the Australian Mints for PnC or Cover & coin.

Any searching help please.

Maybe the mints do not have that many different PnC in stock/released?

A search at the RAM gave me 5 PnC's.

Have I missed the boat for the Southern Lights issue?
