It's an interesting angle. They only go up in price.

I'm sure it's not that easy to unload a bunch of stamps though.

Not specifically the “Forever” stamps, but I used to collect with my dad when I was a kid. I have a bin of the collection.

He used to say that they never lose their value. Now that I’m older I wonder if he truly thought of them as some kind of financial investment.

Conning people into eagerly prepaying for postage literal years in advance is the most clever thing I’ve ever seen a government agency manage to pull off.

We use maybe one stamp a month other than Christmas cards, so yeah, I have enough for 20 years

Prices of stamps will be going up, the USPS announce this week that they are suspending pension payments ($200 million per week) due to a cash crunch.

Stamps will go up 4 cents in July.

I use Zimbabwe currency to heat my home in the winter. It’s cheaper than natural gas.
