Save up to 30% on your postage! Discount postage available

Want to save up to 30% on your postage? Check out this category on eBay:

Stamps > United States > Postage

Dealers are selling their US postage overstock at a discount to face. Current rolls of postage go for about 90% - 95% of face - good deal if you send a lot of first class letters. A better deal - and one that I use for those overseas shipments of lps that run $15 and up - is scrap discount - this is misc. stamps and partial sheets of various denominations. The more you buy, the better deal you get. As long as you get a reasonable amount, say more than $100 at a time, you should be able to score a discount of 25% or so - in other words, you pay 75 cents for a buck's worth of postage.

A word of caution - DON'T buy uncancelled postage - these are stamps that have been used on envelopes, but missed getting cancelled by the post office. Unscrupulous people then soak off the stamps and resell them. The post office frowns upon this, to say the least. Always go for full gum stamps.

Feel free to ask any questions, or post your comments with your experience - good luck hunting!
