Just remember, buy high or sell high, buy low or sell low, the only one who profits in this game, in the end, is the Royal Mail.

If anyone does eventually buy something from me, don't be surprised to see plenty of stamps on the package as I have plenty to shift before the deadline

10 pages of me moaning about Evri/Hermes and my missing printer was the finest contribution anyone has ever made to NBS. The rest is just bol*ocks

yeah, this is an example of where interaction helps too, into your 5th year and a (9) on your score count and no feedback, this would make me think twice but same as Spyder, if you had something i want i'd probably buy it... 

agreed, don't sound great when you Put it like that 😅 but as Petra says, need to join in more.. instead of being a hermit haha

Did you give any feedback to the people you bought from? It’s a two way street. I haven’t sold a lot, however, when I buy, once received, I give feedback, message them that I have the item, inform that feedback given and please reciprocate. I certainly would be interested in anything you put up for sale!🤔😮

genuinely can’t remember as it was that long ago, but will be making sure to from now on though!

Yep, bar coded only from later this year. I either use them up now or go through the hassle of posting then to Royal Mail and get replaced coded stamps.

Why they could not have offered to change at any post office is beyond me

The two have done that on here on a couple of my purchases have both been dealers. I think more people just go to the post office. The stamps on your parcels are not exactly the everyday ones that you buy a book of to put on a letter. Also, I don’t think those type of stamps are going out of date, just your ordinary first/second class ones (I’m sure someone will jump in very quick if I’m wrong🤔😮🫢)

31st July this year....

It must be a problem, I think I have posted here before that there is a booming trade on eBay selling stamps.

Some are without doubt counterfeits, others I guess are being supplied having already been used.

Our old “friend” Aliexpress explains why there is a problem…

The Chinese are faking everything nowadays, from silver, stamps, medicine etc, where will it stop

[ShineyMagpie]

Hmm when do the Chinese fakers start internal competition and fake the fakers..... does this then become fake Chinese whisper?

[Fenlander1]

Had a good discussion with my son the other day about this very subject.

He broke his watch and wanted a new one nothing special or pricey. We had the debate about the fake Chinese watches versus the high end genuine copies.

Whilst I don't like the idea of fake items we will never stop the ball rolling now.

My argument was if it keeps good time and you like the look of it does it matter if it is fake or does it only matter if you are trying to pass it off as genuine.

Unfortunatly forgers have been doing this for 1000s of years.

I think the problem lies with the scrotes who try to sell the items as genuine it doesn't matter whether it is chinese or Russian.

Crooks will always be crooks and whilst the law does nothing to stop the crimanals and people want a quick buck it will keep trundling along.

If someone offered me a kg of silver for £500 do I take it or advise them that is too cheap. My personal position would be to advise them of the correct price and i will buy the bar as long as it was genuine.

The price should be spot + whatever % I work on other wise I am no better than the scrotes.
