Interesting to see the process of working through a purchased collection of mixed stamps, and what one can expect when buying and the risks one take. Thanks for an informative video!

[@ourdadsstamps]

Thanx for an informative video. I have been thinking buying from Catawiki my self, but read a lot of negatives online a couple of years ago, regarding Catawiki and the dealers failure to send the bought stuff, as well as Catawiki keeping the dealers money, for too long. So I haven't bought anything sofar. I think however that their website and their app are very beautiful and good organized. And the collections they sell looks as if they are top-notch and and to a fair auction price. So looking forward to your continued experience with Catawiki. Regards from 🇩🇰, Claus

Thanks for your comments and good luck with your buying. I have sold on Catawiki too and they do keep hold of the money until the buyer has received the goods but overall it was a good experience.

Bad luck on the Canada and a few but possibly a few good ones when doing further wtrmrks and perfs.

[@ourdadsstamps]

Thanks for your comments. The Hong Kong stamp looks promising 🤞and there's still plenty of others to keep me going

[@johnscamardo2145]

Like you said it depends on what pictures and descriptions the sellers post. occasionally you find one that others miss.

The Tasmania stamp is fiscally used, rather than postal usage.

[@ourdadsstamps]

yes I did notice that, shame. Thanks for your comments.

Hii. They probably ran out of low value stamps and they had lots of six penny ones.

Hi, Steve. When you say a stamp, 'is worth' x amount, do you mean that's its catalogue value OR what a seller could get for it?Thanks, Ray.

[@ourdadsstamps]

Thanks for the comments, Usually when I say worth I mean what people will pay for it. Otherwise I will describe it as a catalogue value.

That NB #1 looks fake as heck...

[@ourdadsstamps]

Thanks for the tip. What clues can I look for to confirm this?

[@ourdadsstamps]

Yes I've had a chance to research this stamp and I would agree with you it does look fake.......ah well......if it looks too good to be true it probably is!
