    There needs to be a paper margin around the stamps but not excessive – some dealers will want up to 1 cm and others perhaps half that. Dealers will pay on the basis of ‘kiloware’ essentially the weight of the stamps with the backing paper. They will not sort through them manually, especially if just off current day letters! They will generally only deal in quite large quantities (perhaps a black bin bag size as the very minimum) and they must be presented correctly or the price paid is considerably reduced. A lot of charities will also make up bags of stamps and sell them in their shops, so that is a way of getting rid of less desirable ones or getting a bit more for them than say a dealer would give.

    Price will also vary as to the mix of stamps and quality – damaged stamps are a definite no no! The mix (as in just Irish, worldwide etc.) will depend on the dealer; some may pay more if sorted by country etc. Also not including the back of the envelope (as in the flap part) in the cut out part is important, as that just adds to the weight and is undesirable from a dealer’s perspective. The other downside now is the sticky printed labels that the post office sell instead of stamps – some people will collect these but dealers don’t regard them as stamps per se. If you can get folk to trim them correctly (whatever that may be!), then it will save a lot of time from the final sorter’s perspective. Bear in mind sorting can be a time consuming activity!!

    Perhaps try…irelandstamps.com 497 2520/ sales@irelandstamps.com (Rathgar); or Cathedral stamps (off O’Connell St.) on 8786384 / sales@cathedralstamps.com; or MacDonnell Whyte (Rathmines) 4977449 / mdwltd@eircom.net. They should be able to point you in the right direction if it’s not of interest to them.

    On a different idea, how about collecting the Dublin bus change tickets?? It’s amazing how many of these you see discarded beside bus stops because folk couldn’t be bothered cashing them in…hassle I suppose!

    So pleased to hear your vet visit went well, Velvet. You do look very festive in your Christmas outfit, all ready to welcome back your big brother and sister in the morning! :shock: In 10 woofs or less, you can tell them what a brave girl you are and how your foster Mum is almost trained at ball fetch 24/7! :P

    Oh dear, poor Cookie!!! :shock: She looks so brave in the photos, poor little pet. Great to hear she has recovered so well though. ;)

    Also poor Bonnie! Attacks like that do give them a shaking up but they do bounce back very quickly, thankfully.

    @ angjo: Ah, poor Hamish…could he start on the neighbours’ gardens, as I’m sure they would appreciate experienced ‘help’! Scotties were born to garden…very green-pawed, don’t you know! :mrgreen: Hopefully you can find him a creative past time soon….before he finds one first! :lol: The Scots wish him all the best for the old folks party – go easy on the grub mind! ;) Hi to the rest of the gang there too, especially Charlie….leader of the pack! 8-)

    What a beautiful line up of doggies! They are all so photogenic! :D Hope Max feels better soon after his op and that the eating will improve with time. He’s come a long way in a short time!
