We protect our stamps in many ways - archival storage, shelving away from little hands, insurance, alarm systems etc.

Here’s one of my theft deterrents - LOL. (Thought we could all use a laugh!)

re: How do you protect your stamps?

I tell no one in the area that I have valuable collections in the house!!! Very few local people know, only close friends!

I use a simple method. A Post Office Box. No one knows what treasures live at my house!

eBay has a function called "Send Offer". They select some of your items that have watchers and allow you to send them an offer. It's maybe 5-20 items at a time. Since I sell covers I generally take my $1.99 covers and discount them a quarter to $1.74. It's been fairly successful and I always notice immediately on my sold list since $1.74 isn't a number I regularly list things at.

My text usually goes:

"Happy Friday! Sending this special offer to all the viewers of this great item! Grab it quick before someone does!"

I was doing one the other day, and looked at the text right before I sent it... note that the I and O are right next to each other!

"Happy Friday! Sending this special offer to all the viewers of this great item! Grab it quick before someone dies!"

I have no idea if I sent any this way... maybe this is why people instantly pony up the money?

Don't be surprised if you see me kicked off eBay for threatening people! Happy

re: How do you protect your stamps?

In Canada, we have simpler methods of protecting our stamps - stamp mounts and lightweight open top page protectors!

No messy cleaning kits, nothing like that!

I prefer one of my S and W .38 specials. The one with the long barrel. It’s very accurate.

re: How do you protect your stamps?

I have an attack cat by the name of Obie!!! He can be vicious when provoked. He's diabetic and gets his insulin shot twice a day and the other day when I snuck up on him to give him his shot he let loose a cat-fart that was so bad that any stamp thief would run for the hills. He's cute, but LETHAL!! Rolling On The Floor Laughing
