"The Rebel Stamp Dealer Goes Nuts After Licking Old Glue Off 1,637 Stamps and decides to teach others how to start a low star-up costs high-profit stamp selling business by the end of the day..."
Here is a book from the Rebel Stamp Dealer that I reviewed and it shows the possibility to anybody with no previous knowledge of stamps to start a stamp business at home.
The start-up cost is under $50 if you follow a few practical examples shown in the book.
On the sales page there is a common dog stamp that you can buy for a cent and actually sells on ebay for a dollar or two (picture of actual ebay lot page 24 in the book). Even after the ebay fees the margin lets you a nice profit.
The beauty with this stamp is that there are thousands of such stamps that you can grab for very cheap.
Without spoiling any secrets taught in the book it's easy to think that a few stamp dealers won't be happy to see that easy money can may be made by the common Joe who just consider stamps as gummy images. And the complete strategy revealed in that book.
Work at Home Moms may find an easy business here. The whole inventory takes the space of a chocolate box in a drawer. The startup costs might be under twenty bucks. The heaviest lot that to carry to the post office is a standard-size 2-oz letter.
Four trades are explained with pictures and actual scans of past sales in ebay. I just list them below
- $2,000 from a $100 collection of stamp memorabilia
- $750 with a $50 collection of stamp "Display Cards"
- $1,500 and counting from a $15 collection of WWII soldiers' mail
- $4,000 and counting from a $100 collection of postcards
The main point is that a wannabe stamp dealer shouldn't follow the steps of traditional stamp dealers and might have a lot of fun selling stamps that serious philatelists either revere or hate.
What's funny is that the Rebel stamp dealer has published articles in philatelic magazine while he was still a layman of the trade.
The book is far from his past experience...
