I'm in possession of the stamps that an out of business stamp company could not dispose of. I'm talking about thousands upon thousands of US commemoratives and common WW stamps neatly packaged in glassines (see image). I'm told that a market exists for these stamps in southeast Asia (Viet Nam). I'm very doubtful. I would be interested in hearing comments and/or contact information. I would have thought that if such a market existed it would have been exploited long ago by stamps dealers in China, India, and/or Australia. Thank you.Image Not Found

re: Asian Stamp Market

From what I can tell, there are only two, maybe three, different stamps in the mix? Or do you have a lot of different ones that aren't pictured?

re: Asian Stamp Market

Hi kye1!

Oh yea. How about 10 or 12 bank boxes/shoe boxes that I really haven't even looked at. I get a headache just thinking about processing all of this stuff.

Regards,

Bob Armstrong

re: Asian Stamp Market

My suggestion: sell in bulk (make smaller boxes and just toss 100 grams or so in each without the hassle of really processing them) and do not aim to high with the selling price. There are always people who like to go through "unsorted" lots.

re: Asian Stamp Market

I have a couple of totes of similar material. I have attempted to sell bulk lots on Ebay at basically give away prices. Haven't had much luck.

re: Asian Stamp Market

I live in Thailand and I would be surprised if there was a vibrant market in Vietnam. What collecting goes on seems to be mainly for stamps of that particular country if Thailand is anything to go by.

re: Asian Stamp Market

Bob:-
I do not know how much you paid for these boxes.

What I do with my excess is to take it to an Auction House in Dundee. (26 miles away and the nearest city). They hold a General Auction every two weeks. I normally put in 4 boxes once a month and get around £100 back, that's after all commissions have been paid.

If I didn't do that the house would probably collapse under the weight of boxes!!!

These boxes normally hold FDC's, ice cream tub of loose stamps, the odd stock book, bundle of old album pages, old catalogues etc etc etc. (to me they are items that I don't want for my collection, cannot sell or too time consuming to sort and put in SOR Approvals/Auctions).

I had a lot of used common Germany stamps, in glassines, in a half Bankers Box and got a hammer price of £40.00. They had been sitting in a cupboard for several months. I had always meant to go through them but never got round to it. (I had forgotten I had them!)

Try your local Auction House, you may be surprised at the result!

re: Asian Stamp Market

Thank you very much for the comments and inputs. When I was told that a market existed for these stamps in Viet Nam I was doubtful. Now I think it's pure fiction. DannyS., in Bangkok, Thailand, confirmed this, as well as NGUYEN KHANH HONG, in Ho Chi Ming City.
