As I have said before on other threads Members of organisations are not all of the same level of education and experience.
Respect, patience and tolerance is required.
...as well as checking the backs of the stamps!
They are just trying to help you decide to buy ... why can't you be grateful?
Looks like someone is just trying to keep it interesting.
Michael,
How do you find stamps in these circuits priced? I had always heard most are overpriced.
That is the joy of Approvals.
You can actually see what you are getting.
No amount of scans can beat actually being able to see and examine what you are purchasing.
That's why I like to physically go to an auction. What you see is what you get.
YOU then can decide whether to part with your hard earned cash or not!!

Michael, I agree that over priced depends. The best benchmark is the pricing compared to Cat Value and you answered that question then one can calibrate against that on what they view as a fair price (general rule).
How much does it cost you to reship the circuit?

Yesterday I received an APS sales circuit. In one of the books, the seller had noted the stamps as being lightly hinged never hinged stamps. I suppose that means that the stamps were never hinged before being lightly hinged? On many of the stamps, "lightly" seems to mean "with a hinge remnant".
In another book a different seller went to great lengths to state on the book cover and inside pages that he bought the stamps as new issues. I'm not sure what that is supposed to convey. Is it akin to someone selling a car that has had only one owner? Either way, one person can do as much damage to a stamp (or car) as two or more can. As I found looking at several of the stamps, the seller had a moist tongue as his saliva had slobbered onto the stamps from the edges and middle seam of the mount. Several stamps were wrinkled from being in mounts that were too small for the stamps.
