What about a professional seller who sells a Y Belgium 164A XX OCB €700.00 but sends a Y Belgium with OCB €11.50?

And then comes up with an incredible excuse:

my sincere apologies i had my doubts!!
payment returned in full.
you may keep the seal.
due to the costs at XXXXXXX, the transaction has been cancelled.
hopefully resolved.

If he had any doubts, he should just measure the image, right?

For clarity:

That OCB also with its galvanizing prices, they do more harm than good, It is the Belgian equivalent of the NVPH, fortunately the professional seller was professional enough to correct the errors from the OCB

The OCB has also made a mess about number 164 the difference between Y and X is already vague but F, V and G are completely far fetched, the consistency and mistranslation regarding this catalog are of such a ridiculous vagueness that from now on you might better not to use dull Yvert or OCB numbers, but just our Catawiki Catalog Numbers that every user knows and can view, or do you want us all to tap down € 29.90 to buy this hopeless catalog so that we can discuss with you? :)

I mean if you keep whining about Opel parts at the FIAT dealer long enough or keep praising the AH house brand at the JUMBO, you will no longer be taken seriously at some point.

Well Sinbad, apparently you don't know the difference between a 164 and a 164A (that seller was also Dutch, maybe better stay away from Belgian stamps)?

The image on a 164A has the size 18½ x 28. The Catawiki value MNH XX is also € 700.00, so why your gal about a different rating system?

And this while a 164 has the size 18¼ x 28½.

And OCB numbers correspond to Yvert numbers (except for the variants that are not rated by Yvert), so I see no problem.

@Sinbad-de-Zeeman

As far as errors are concerned, your text is not much inferior to the OBP... not to mention your expertise in this.

@etruscan

A professional seller who does not know the difference between 164 and 164A is certainly not "professional" in my opinion.

I have previously asked to make the discussion accessible by not referring to OCB or Yvert numbers, but to Catawiki numbers. And if they are not in the catalog, please indicate where the differences are. It is a mystery to me and the other non OCB or Yvert owners as to what kind of stamp it is. It could be these , but also this one or perhaps this one . Again, I kindly but urgently ask for the discussion to be made accessible.

@az60

It concerns catalog numbers 356819 and 1835689 (which you could have found yourself via the search function in the Cat nr. field, but of course this is not a reproach :)

@ tapir

Thank you. My first import Belgium Yvert 164 yielded about 150 hits. With 164A instead of 164 it worked. But all in all, I lost quite a bit of searching time. Moreover, I think it is the responsibility of whoever starts the topic. That is a lot more efficient.

When I read all of this like this, the OP's "professional stamp seller" is not the only one with a problem ....

Hey !!! a clown tells another clown he's just a clown while hiding his own red nose behind his hand? Too bad your floppy shoes are still visible.

Can we not for Tapir and Etruscan 'I know better and look interesting to set up his forum? They have their own place for their Ego and Glory, what an interesting doerij,

Is swaffling so popular in Flanders with stamp collectors?

Funny Sindbad your first contribution :-) In this case it is indeed not very strong from the seller of course, fortunately buyers such as Etruscan are themselves alert. I am also sometimes annoyed that I cannot see the difference between stamps, or that it is not clearly indicated in catawiki, sometimes with a stamped stamp it does not matter in terms of 'value' so I will leave it.
