How can I find out the value of stamps

@lodr_1152   

I'm sorry we are not allowed to give price recommendations. I can tell you how I research prices.

 

Here's some general info to get you started:

 

The first thing you want to do is check the sold listings to see how much your item has been selling for in the last 90 days. You can also see which format worked best, auction or Buy It Now. This is the research I do when listing my items.

 

Search sold listings:

You can search up to 2 years worth of listings using Terapeak:

Once you have an idea of what the item sells for then you can create a listing. You can even use "sell one like this" from a sold item if you find an item like yours in the sold section.

 

If I have an item that I just am not sure of the current top market value then I use the Auction format and start the listing at a price I'd be happy with even if I receive just one bid. If you get more bids then that's great!

 

How to Optimize your listings for Best Match:

eBay selling fees. Be aware optional upgrades such as reserve price have fees that are due even if the item doesn't sell. Anytime you see a fee at the bottom of the screen before you submit the listing that fee is due even if the item doesn't sell. Most items are free list as long as you don't use upgrades.
