Every collector likes a bargain and Herrick Stamp
Company likes to deliver one. If you can use large diversified groups of
philatelic material priced below dealers normal wholesale cost then
this club IS FOR YOU! If you only want a limited amount of all different complete mint NH sets then this club is NOT FOR YOU.
Our buyer travels the country buying over 100 collections and dealer
stocks annually. Not all of these collections fit easily into our stock.
Whatever is left over, goes into cardboard cartons and saved, "for the
future".
Well really, how much miscellaneous material can we store? It is time to lighten the load a bit. We started to do so by offering to our Bargain of the Month buyers a special subscription to take our LOTS on a bi-monthly basis. The deal was that we would send LOTS of material ON APPROVAL. If they kept the "LOT", then we would send another lot in 2 months and continue. If they returned the lot, we would not send any more in the future.
So WHAT is in these lots?
If we knew in advance, we would not have to send them to you on approval. One thing we do know, these are NOT new issue lots. Nor do they contain great rarities (that we know of), rather a large assortment of stamps, mostly complete sets and some covers. We generally run at least 90% mint and always at PRICES THAT ARE TRULY OUTSTANDING. The fact is that we do not strictly control what goes in each lot. We open a carton, we spread out the material into piles and we place a dealers estimate on it. This is leftover material for us and we want to move it. Retail value is about $1000 per lot. Our prices are generallly 70%-80% below retail. We have to price it right because we send it to you on approval, and we will get it back unless we price it right. So what we do is… we price it right.
