Not sure that I should admit I once bid over $70 for a stamp..........didnt win it though, it went to near $80. I dont even remember what the name of it was now, it was a hostess special from one of the supplements years ago. I had a serious ebay problem, my husband was not pleased!

Now why is it that WE can't get our sets to sell like that?!?!

After paying that much moola for a set, I'd be afraid to ever use the darn thing---so what's the point?!

boy, I hope the winning bidder isn't from Canada, then they could tack on an extra $25 just for shipping!!

Makes me laugh for balking at a new set for $38.50!

Wow, that's pretty impressive. No doubt in my mind I could never drop that much cash on a stamp.

Wonder if anyone knows what type of poetry that is. Sure looks pretty but I'd be afraid to put that on a card not knowing what it said!

LOL... I was thinking the same thing. For that much money, a translation should be included!

Default Started at 6.99

The bidding started at 6.99. I have bought from that seller and she was pretty good. Of course I didn't pay that much. Her shipping was reasonable too for sending things to Canada.

Well, if you can get that price, I don't blame her........

Default Speaking of bidding wars..

Is anyone familiar with a stamp from around 1993 by SU that depicts a character (very similar to the cartoon "Cathy"), sitting at a desk under a pile of work and the caption reads "How Come There's Never A Weekend Around When You Need One?" (or something very close to that)???
Did SU once sell their stamps already mounted?
I received this one in PRISTINE condition and it's marked and dated by SU--I was just wondering if this is collectible as it has never been used and I haven't seen one similar.

Not sure I'd pay $66 for ANY stamp though. I once paid an obscene amount of money for cheese and olive oil, but I still have those on my hips for sentimental value.

I emailed SU once to see what the translation was and finally about a week later they emailed me back to say that it doesn't have a translation, it was only a textile design.
I'm sure those symbols have to mean something though!!

that is ridiculous...if you go to advanced search and type in asian poetry, completed listings you can see how much they have been going for...
take a look at this, the same thing sold on Aug 5th for only 19.50...

so I say the seller was ignorant on this to list it with a buy it now for so cheap, or the bidder on the other one is insane for not waiting for a cheaper one!

oh well....it's not my $66
