If you want to

SELL STAMPS

at the

Used Stamp Sale

here's what you need to know!

 

Now is the time to start choosing your stamps and figuring out prices. If you want to get rid of your stamps, price them to sell. People come to these sales looking for bargains!

 

Beginning February 1st, you can come to the store to pick up your Customer Number, inventory sheet and price stickers (you must use our price stickers; no exceptions). Take them home and get to work pricing and inventorying your stamps. By the way, only stamps are to be sold at this time.

 

March 1st is when you can bring in your priced stamps and the Inventory Sheet. At this time you pay a small fee of 10% of your total asking price. This fee must be paid in cash or by check. No debit or credit cards are accepted.

 

Stamps will be accepted from March 1 until Wednesday, March 17.

 

After the sale is over we will give you a check for the stamps you sold and return your unsold stamps. Pick up date begins Wednesday, March 24.

 

Only stamps are sold at this sale. If you have any other items such as punches, paper, embellishment, ribbons, tools, (sorry, no adhesives, ink or pens) etc., you may sell them at the Used Scrapbook Supply Sale!

Used Scrapbook Supply Sale Information

 

This sale operates in much the same way as the Stamp Sale. Now is a great time to begin sorting through your supplies if you want to sell them.

 

We will accept paper, ribbon, embellishments, stickers, tools, punches, brass stencils and more. Many people sell their paper in packs and they are often themed by color, brand, or style. Remember when pricing your items, people are looking for bargains and we suggest you price your items accordingly.  Any unsold items will be returned to you.

 

More information will be posted soon!

Used Stamp Sale Information

 

Love stamps? You will love this sale!

Every year we host a sale so our customers can sell their gently used stamps and so customers can purchase some great stamps at great prices! It's a win-win situation all the way around.

Here's a brief description on how it works:

If you want to sell stamps: Beginning in early February, customers may stop in to pick up their inventory number, blank inventory lists and price stickers. Customers then price and inventory their stamps. Outstamping Designs charges each customer 10% of their amount of their total merchandise (we accept cash or check only). After the sale, the customer receives a check from their sales and any unsold stamps are returned.

If you want to buy stamps: Come early and bring cash or check (sorry no debit/credit cards). We often have a line waiting at the door! The selection is best early in the day and we open promptly at 10 a.m.

We hope you will come and see the fascinating stamps that are for sale. Prices vary but most are inexpensive. You will find a wide variety of styles and manufacturers.

Check back here in January or February 2010 for more information.
