By the way Scindedawk is selling 12000+ stamps or philately material from USA or India.

Don't know who will buy all this!!

Are there any new stamp collector coming to this hobby?

On top of that all you still have to pay captial gain tax and income tax, state tax etc.

Don't know which country the tax is paid such as income tax or capital gain tax or whatever.

Similar is the case who knows seller from physical auction site where Gandhi stamp was sold for 500000 pounds.

Gandhi Stamps is one of the popular topic in stamp collection or philately.

But do you really think Gandhi Stamps deserve this kind of value?

I don't think it has any value but if you see price on online auction site such as ebay or even on famous physical international auction site it mind blogging.

Reason for it don't deserve value is because

1) It is artificially created by physically auction site as they are looking for their own commission.

2) Online auction site anyone can increase the value and make it like it's in high demand and high value by SHILL bidding. (seller increase price by their other accounts, as it don't require any PII or credit card info to open account).

3) You can list on Ebay at any price as you don't have to pay anything. (no upfront cost).

4) Even seller will buy with other account and don't pay to seller!!! Seller will open case for non paying buyer and Ebay will not charge anything to seller.

Who collects stamps this days!!!

Even older collectors are dieing and they don't spend this kind of money as they know what's going on this Industry(it's not hobby, but to make money by cheating collectors!)

Also there are more FAKE stamps than genuine stamps.

Also there are more FAKE philately material as it's to make RUBBER stamp and apply on any old cover which you find in stamps exhibit.

Following are recently sold stamps from "cooksontour", "scindedawk"etc.
