QR Code Link to This Post
Ever dreamed of owning your own business - whether as a nice side income OR full time? Now is your chance. I have maintained my full-time job, but was still able to earn on average $1K-$3K per month depending on time devoted.
I have been a dealer and APS member for 25 years successfully selling online and in-person. This is NOT the typical common and cheap material that one typically encounters (although some of that is here too, of course!). I have individual items worth thousands of dollars each. I have carefully curated a diverse and highly desirable inventory that can target every person's price range. There is easily $200K in LOW RETAIL value here. Many of these items will sell for 50%-100%+ catalogue value. NOT ONLY THIS, BUT I will include my specialty reference library which includes many hard to find titles, as well as, valuable on their own publications . . . . and BOXES & BOXES of valuable supplies (ALL for own use and/or resale). This probably adds another $10K in value
Most of my purchases have come from from major auction houses including; Siegel, Kelleher, Schuyler Rumsey, Harmer Schau, Apfelbaum and others. I estimate $300K+ low retail (currently insured with Hugh Wood) including stamps, postal history (stamped & stampless), ephemera, stock, collections and accumulations focusing on 19th century but ranging across the board. General foreign, China/Taiwan, Canada, Great Britain and first love - U.S.A. (most pre-1940 with focus on 19th century and earlier, but some newer) including postal history (stamped/stampless/Ship-Steamboat/Civil War/Locals/Wells Fargo-hundreds - including Western & Eastern Expresses/BOB/MUCH MORE), Regular issues, BOB, Fancy Cancels, Revenues, Locals & Carriers, Confederate & Civil War, Bicycle Mail, Errors, Cut Squares, Sheets, COMPLEMENTED by a large library of important literature, Supplies, Catalogs, the odd, unusual eclectic . . . and on & on . . . . Impossible to name (or remember) everything. While I have a respectable amount of keys, I would position my collection as one with a high majority of Semi-keys then down to commons BUT often scarce/eclectic/unique. Sometimes with duplication, but still usually desirable and easily sellable material. I've already donated large portions of newer material to local stamp dealers (several pickup truck loads).
Some sample pics included here, but I could take 5,000 photos and not capture anywhere near everything available and included.
LIMITED TIME ONLY!! ASKING price reduced to ONLY $35K - PLUS - I will help educate, consult and guide you through the initial steps should you choose to obtain this once in a lifetime opportunity. BEST OFFERS CONSIDERED. You will not be disappointed.
PLEASE SERIOUS & CAPABLE INQUIRIES ONLY
