Stamps/help.10 messages

Kimberly, stamp collecting is a party (says this freak).

Take a stamp from your grandfather's collection and add it to your own collection here in Catawiki, you will gradually receive specific questions where we can help.

With this potpourie of questions we can do nothing, ask one single question at a time and make it as clear as possible and with all the information you have.

Then we will do our best to help you during your wonderful journey through philately that your grandfather enjoyed after all.

Join sinbad.

I can tell you that Disney is a popular theme to collect.

In the Netherlands, it depends on how old and in what condition.

Unfortunately I have to tell you that when you see list prices, you should assume that many stamps will also yield less, unfortunately. Unless there is something rare in between, of course.

Hmm profile no longer exists .... No love for collecting after all?

Then I also have a question.

I also have a stamp album from my father. With stamps from before 1935. I have already searched a lot and put them in my collection. But how do I determine the price if I want to put them up for sale? The list price is far too high I see, but I don't think getting people to bid is possible. Can I let you know that I want to sell without mentioning a price? Can others view my collection?

Hello,

to determine the prices you should indeed not start from the list prices.

what I always do is look where the stamps for sale here. After all, people see your stamp here among those other prices, and it doesn't make much sense to be much more expensive.

I also do that 'market research' on other sites when I offer something for sale there.

You can only sell without price on Catawiki through auction. We can of course see your collection.

ben ook nieuw en ben rustig bezig om mijn oude hobby op te pakken, en een beetje opbouwen!

Wil niet blond overkomen en toch zit ik al een hele tijd met een vraag:

Vaak kom ik afkortingen tegen PM1 en  PM vooral bij duurdere zegels, zou iemand zou vriendelijk zijn, om mij te vertellen wat deze afkorting betekent?

Dank

David/Avraam

I'm also new and I'm quietly busy picking up my old hobby, and building up a bit!

Don't want to come across as blonde and yet I've had a question for a long time:

Often I come across abbreviations PM1 and PM especially with more expensive stamps, would someone be kind to tell me what this abbreviation means?

Thanks

David/Avram

Another question from a newcomer.

I managed to find single stamps in the catalog. But that's a lot of work.

I have now scanned entire pages of my loose-leaf stamp book. Can I also add these to my collection? Eg per country? How do I do that. I can only find additions via the catalog.

Can I then possibly. Put entire pages up for sale or put up for auction?

greetings Daphne

Unfortunately Daphne,

it is still a lot of work, because (postz) hedgehogs have to be added to your Collection one by one. What you can do is select multiple (post) stamps that you have and then choose Bulk Add to Collection. That is the bottom blue button on the left side of the list of (post) stamps.

CataWiki does have the option to have the pages entered for you against payment, of course (the sun rises for nothing) . They don't do this themselves, but they recommend a few partners who can do it for you.

If you want to sell them, you can just show the pages in the stamp auction. You don't have to show them individually there. It is useful to still indicate links to the stamp in CataWiki, because that is useful for potential buyers to know more about the (post) stamps. However, it is not mandatory (:()

The scans of the pages are also useful for placing multiple stamps in your Shop at the same time, make sure that the correct stamps are on 1 sheet. in your shop you can also post images other than the ones in the Catalog

Regarding the prices, I cannot help you. I am also only a collector and user of CataWiki (and not the administrator of the ( Post) stamp heading)

I hope it helps you.
