Another "Why?"
Why do so many dealers leave the stamp condition out of the title? For some dealers, no condition listed means "Used." But, for others it means "Unused," (i.e. hinged). What makes it worse is when they don't even provide an image with the listing.
Their loss, though. If they can't bother with the courtesy of providing the most basic information, I'm not wasting my time in their store.

Not all sellers on HipStamps are Dealers though. Just because one has a store does not mean they are a stamp dealer.
I have a store, but I am not a stamp dealer, I am have a hobby, I luv stamps.
I only list a few of whatever stamps I want to from over 50 Albums full of stamps worth nothing to worth next to nothing to a reasonable buy price.

When in Rome ............... although I must say I no longer try to describe degree of hinging, or whether there is a remnant or not because with some of the old hinges it is hard to tell. I just use MNH and MH. On the other hand I will not sell a stamp with a noticeable bulge from hinging. If it catalogs over a couple of dollars I will soak it and sell it as a no gum. If it doesn't it goes into the donation box or trash.
