Hello Colnect Friends,

Still trading. Enjoying smaller around 50 stamp trades. I am still organizing and will be for what seems to be forever. All the best- Sarah

My goal is to make more stamp trading friends. I want to expand my collection and assist you in finding what you are looking for. No reasonable offers refused.

My collecting interests; dogs, birds, flowers, Christmas, tropical fish, hearts/love, trees, fruits and vegetables, USA (years 2010+), Canada (years 2010+) Catholic themes (such as saints) and Vatican (years 1975+). I have no preference of used over new stamps, either will work. I will accept CTO’s but only for other CTO's or other high volume items.

Please no damaged stamps unless disclosed and agreed upon. All stamps that have faults or heavy cancels are marked. Kindly do not ask for a stamp that has I have disclosed faults on only to reject it. It is a waste of time to put the stamp back in my inventory. I send a report and photos once all stamps are found.

I prefer not to send registered mail, but will for certain countries and for greater value trades. If registration is needed I would like it to be for larger trades (I would consider for 200+ stamps or $200 value, certain countries and higher value items as appropriate for registration services.)

I am a member of the Syracuse Stamp Club and American Philatelic Society.

In terms of trading I like to do a 1:1 trade but realize that some items may be far more valuable than others. We can negotiate. I am fair and reasonable. The catalog I have for valuation is Scott (year 2022). We could also get a valuation from StampWorld.com online. That said, I generally prefer not to do accounting as this is time consuming. My general philosophy to trading is, "If you're happy, I'm happy."

I also tell potential trading partners that I cannot guarantee that I will have 100% of your requests. Since I have thousands of stamps to trade, items get misplaced. I will always verify prior to trades to let you know exactly what I have and what I don't at that moment.

I do not take modern self adhesives stamps off paper from countries such as U.S., U.K. Ireland, Finland. I don't like using the chemicals involved in removal.

Please put your wish list in a Colnect list. Spreadsheet requests slow the process way down and it doubles the work for me. Not preferable. If you want to do trades by value, you do the accounting and show me your work. I will bonus you great stamps for your work. The Value/Premium list is for people who offer similar better stamps and will accept my valuation for these.

I am not always the fastest trader, but I am generally good with communication if there are issues slowing up the trade. I have a small child so sometimes a trade will take me some time to get together. The trades that take the most time are requests from multiple countries. This takes the much time in searching. Also the modern USA is labor intensive as I have many requests and a lot of stamps.

I have many more stamps in boxes so if you have a country or topic I might have more of what what need. Make a request and I will see if I can accomodate.
