Save Our Community was founded in the movement to resist Wal-Mart's development in Rosemead, California. Now, it has become a general site for news, information, gossip, talk, and blogging about Rosemead. We also have stories about South San Gabriel, San Gabriel, Montebello, and occasionally about Pico Rivera, El Monte, South El Monte, Alhambra, Temple City, and other nearby communities. Your host is Todd. If you want a blog just sign up, get approved, and start writing. Good posts will be moved onto the home page.
You could sell books of
You could sell books of stamps to people at a small discount, and still realize some gains.
I don't believe you still have 37 cent stamps. Why did you even get the 41 centers if you still had 37s?
You know what I wish the USPS did? I wish they did parcel pickups at the door, and did it with stamps or some prepaid online thing.
The internet has made it so much simpler to buy and sell online. I have sent more packages in the past several years than I have my entire life before then.

It's probably a combination of misplacing then finding long-lost books of stamps and the fact taht my wife and I didn't always know when the other had bought stamps.
I used to sell quite a bit of stuff via eBay, but the last few things I offered either didn't sell or I wound up spending my entire margin on listing fees, seller fees, PayPal fees, and shipping fees. Also, now that I know about eMeg, I feel less warm and fuzzy about the company.
The thing I notice about ebay
The thing I notice about ebay now is that the buyers are not that savvy, so they bid the prices too high. So it's not a great place to buy.
Consequently, it's also not a great place to sell, because the buyers left aren't good bargain hunters. You can't sell unusual, special items, even at a great discount, because the buyers don't know the products.
It reminds me of what happened to the old-style swapmeets. They used to be for selling unusual things, but, now the markets are dominated by families selling new products imported from China. It went from old and funky to new and junky.
