Ordering more kiloware !?!
In order to facilitate the trading I've been doing lately, I realized that I needed more USA stamps so I started looking to order some kiloware.
Of course, I couldn't buy just one batch of kiloware. I searched around and read many online ads, and finally decided to make a purchase from B. Schulze Stamps, a company I remember purchasing from when I was just a girl. They have never disappointed me. I had to do some digging to find them, as I noticed that they don't have a website. I went to my online Linn's subscription and found they still are advertisers there and had a phone number listed, so I placed a call.
I ordered the following:
1 lb. British Commonwealth
1Lb. USA mission mix
1 lb. World Elita mix
2500 off paper USA regulars (I have several partners looking for USA definitives, especially coils, booklets, etc)
and for good measure asked them to send some stuff on approval as they still send out lots and singles on approval and I thought I'd see what they had these days.
Now, mind you, I probably have no business buying anything except the US kiloware as I have way too many other stamps. But somehow I rationalized this by saying I needed some new trading stock as what I had was getting "stale". Actually, what I need to do is finish soaking and sorting what has been laying around here, but I've been working on that.
If anyone would like me to review these mixtures, please let me know and I'll put pictures and my analysis of what I thought of each purchase.
I am also considering ordering another Great Britain mission mix from the charity I buy from occasionally. What do you think? Should I buy some GB too or wait? Maybe I should sort the huge box of GB that I have sitting around....hmmm....
I will be writing more soon. I have been receiving trades from folks and so have been busy trying to put together packets for you.
Remember, my trading offer still stands if you are interested, just search this blog for Trading Offer.

I also think it is very easy to rationalize the purchase of stamps kiloware. Most of the time I have to refrain myself from buying because I just don't have the time to deal with it. I must have about 3 kilos waiting to be soaked, but still...bought some more kiloware a couple of days ago.
I even have a blog about kiloware (I should soak instead of writing maybe!): www.kiloware.com
