Score at Church yardsale!
I picked up more than 50 sets of SU stamps at a church yardsale on Saturday..I kid you not that more than 50% of them are new unmounted in the boxes. Some of these sets go back to early 1990s. I know Flaky Friends was one of them. They asked me if I would pay $60.00 for them and I gave them $75.00. I also got SEVERAL new unused individual stamps and a few backgrounds...I am going to let my sisters take what they want and will probably sell the ones I dont want on Ebay. I only took about 1/2 of what they had and this was the second day of the sale. I wish I had gone a day earlier...I just could not believe my SCORE.....blessings.

I was shocked to see so many brand spanking new sets...someone sure spent a lot not to use them. Some of them are very old and I only like the words in them. Others I just dont like at all. Maybe I will post some of them here and you ladies can have a shot at them if you are interested. I could put a list.

Great find! I hope you can sell them. Otherwise you will have fun stamping with them. I would love to be able to sell many of mine but they are just not moving well.

Please try the SCS B/S/T forum before ebay so we dedicated stampers get first dibs. ... Wow, what a lucky tour of volunteer duty!

You ladies make me weepy...I am dont know how deserving I am...but I will share after my two sisters get to look at them. I wish you all could find a deal like I got. Miss Hope...the box is still sitting on my desk waiting to ship. I need my hubbys help to close and tape the box because they are pretty full and hard to close up. He is only home on weekends because he travels for work. It will get out soon I promise....If I dont get it out the door I will have two boxes sitting there pretty soon ready to go off to the troops.
blessings and good fortune to each of you...

Betsy...I was just telling my hubby that if I died today...people would be looking at the vast number of sets I have, and had to have that have not seen ink and think what was she thinking to buy so many and not use them. Well, I am still intending to get to them eventually...but I still get more..go figure.
