Not sure why someone would pay $9.38 for a used $1 Wave stamp that just came out a week or so ago. Maybe the cancel is from the first day of issue. Not sure?

?

Would you pay that much for a used stamp that just came out??? Thoughts???

Here is the listing on eBay

So does that make it worth 9 times more than a new mint one?

If that stamp was on eBay, I can understand the price. People sometimes get very carried away when they want something. *shrug* Especially when it's a new stamp. Yes? No? Second-day of issue isn't worth a lump in a goose's throat, IMO.

There is a guy on ebay selling common stamps worth just pennies for hundreds, sometimes thousands of dollars. Of course no one bids on them.

This 5 cent stamp arago.si.edu/index.asp?con=1&tid=2028980 he had listed for $750. I think he did not research anything on ebay and believed he had very rare stamps, when in fact all he had listed could be bought for around one to five cents a piece.

I once went to an antique shop in Vegas, saw some used copies of US #799 (Hawaii Territorial commem) in a case, priced at $20. I asked the guy if he'd sold any, and he said (and I quote), "Quite a few." I said I have three I could sell him for $5 each so he could make $15 profit on each, but he declined.

Worst case, you could just buy one of these and mail a letter to yourself if you wanted a cancelled one, I don't get it.
