My name is Richard and I´m a man of end 30 years. I´m a philatelist and I collect stamps for more than 30 years. The collection had a boost last years, thanks to Internet. There I bought regular on Marktplaats (Dutch sell site) and Ebay. Due to buying a lot it became a rather expensive hobby. For this reason I have taken the decision to sell stamps which I didn´t collect or at twice or more. The hobby became more interesting, because selling was fun to do, and collecting stamps became a cheaper hobby. As result that the collection grow on a cheap way. Due to selling, I came in contact with other collectors (international), and with some I changed stamps.
I started sell on marktplaats, where I was common and where I started to buy via Internet. However, this was nice, I was looking for other sites and came to Ebay. There it went very well. I decided to open a store on Ebay. Selling got even better then and my collection grows for almost. When Ebay decided to raise the prices (not the first time), selling by means of an Ebay shop becomes no longer attractive for sale. Therefore again in search for an alternative. These I found at DELCAMPE. .
In short, due to buying and resale of postage stamps, my collection grows for almost nothing. Moreover you get in contact with other collectors worldwide and people to swap with. So this is a funny way to collect.
