"The Rebel Stamp Dealer Goes Nuts After Licking Old Glue Off 1,637 Stamps and decides to teach others how to start a low startup 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 anyome who has no previous knowledge of stamps to start a stamp business at home.

The startup 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...

In London in 1860 - almost two hundred years before the introduction of a modern postal system - William Docwra set up a "Penny Post" for the collection and delivery of letters within the limits of London City, which was a model of efficiency even to this day.

Docwra established letter boxes at designated points throughout the city as well as various branches.

Letters would be collected from the boxes every hour and would be stamped at the branch office the exact time of their collection.

This post proved so popular and so lucrative that Docwra became involved with the Duke of York who claimed royal prerogative for the delivery of mail.

In due course Docwra's post was taken over as a government function. It continued in operation until 1980 when it became "The Two-Penny Post."

Up to this point the postal systems of the ancients and even of the "moderns" had left no visible trace of their existence except through accounts of historians. Also, there are desultory evidences of some of the previous posts like clay tablets of Sargon's time preserved in the museums and similar souvenirs. But it was not until the establishment of a truly public system of posts that we have collectible evidences in the form of letters.

More particularly, it was not until the introduction of postage stamps that these evidences became of general interest throughout the civilized world.

There are exactly thirteen examples of Docwra's post known to stamp collectors.
