I'll put this comment here rather than start a new string! I have seen a comment like this many times. "I never look at books from ________ because he/she only sells new material" or " I never look at World books, they're a waste of time". I have received 31 invoices from Ian since I joined in 2019 and he puts out a lot of World books with a lot of new material!! YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT'S THERE unless you look!! There are many others like him that you have to keep your eyes on but I guess "what you don't know can't hurt you"!

Very good point - my best purchases have been "surprises" - a seller posting items they have never posted before mixed in with stuff I have zero interest in. How long does it take to flip through even 30 pages of mixed "stuff" - way under 5 minutes even if you stop once in awhile. Hit next at the top - scroll to the bottom and hit "next" again. I've found a whole page of "War Tax" stamps with better - the only page out of 30 pages of modern stuff which I care nothing about - Hit "Buy whole page" and look for more.. I guess you would call it power scrolling.
Anyway - just an opinion and I know my interests are pretty specific but I've managed to buy almost 9000 stamps of interest and sell over 5000 here over the years...

I was communicating with a member of SOR earlier today and I mentioned a post I did a week or so ago on the EFO's 2 posting. He hadn't seen it and I think it was because he wasn't very interested in US revenue stamps. This is not a complaint concerning the US revenues that show up on that post, I like and collect US revenues. But there are a huge number of them there. When you enter a post it takes you back to the last item you saw on the post (I think) so you shouldn't really miss anything. I think everyone should checkout all the posts regardless of who is responsible for the last entry, that way you will probably miss nothing! Again, this is not meant as a complaint, just a suggestion! Ignore it if you wish to!
