I always hate it when I cannot find something I have in my store. Organization is apparently not my best skill. An organized desk is a sign of a sick mind!
WE HAVE HAD COMMUNICATION FROM MARK. ----------------------------------- We do have a Want List tool. From any page on HipStamp outside of the forums, click on "Catalog" in the header. You can then search the Catalog and add any items you want to your Want List by either hovering over the item and click on on "Add to Want List" or by clicking on the item and then doing the same.
You can then view your Want List, as well as review any items for sale for any item in your Want List. Note it currently only works with Scott Catalog Numbers. However, in the future we'll be adding support for additional Catalogs, as well as email notifications. ------------------------------------- This is certainly a way of adding an item to your want's. Problem is I have around 50 full albums that will never ALL get listed on HipStamp( actually I have more than that). So problem is, there is no way any of us can scan and list everything we have, so that means all that we have will not be in the HipStamp catalog, as Mark tells us to tag items for sale as a want, no problem. What if someone is looking for/wanting a particular Lord Howe Island issue, currently there is only 5 on HipStamp, no good if one is looking for Courier Post first issue(that I have) Sam
Wayne, I know where your coming from mate, it's a bloody drama that's for sure. Somewhere in the back of your mind you know you have it, but where the hell is it. What album would it be in, and if it's not in the one I think it should be in, where is it. And then one gets the shits with themselves because, damn I've lost it, I have it some where, where the hell is it. Sam
Re communication from Mark, above post, Quote/ "Note it currently only works with Scott Catalog Numbers" End Quote/ Sorry mate, if you want HipStamp to be Global, Scott Catalog Numbers are not going to do it for you. like I have said before in other discussions, Reference of Scott# is a U.S. thing. If you want HipStamp to be predominantly U.S. then thats fine, it is your site Sam
Papua Postal History at HipStamp gives "0" listings found, going to Catalog as you said above Papua Postal History(Stamps) at Ebay.com gives 660 listings found I don't know who you are using as your website managers, but if it was me, and ebay can do the above, I would give them their marching orders.

Paul, Michael, well done. I do not know why yesterday I had the seach results I received. But today i am getting the same as you blokes, maybe me being in Australia may have had something to do with it, no idea. Something bothers me though, 3 different members get 3 different results, over 2 days, Michael you win, Why? When you do a search Michael, are the boxes on the side, as you have mentioned above, are they critical to the results given in the search. Sam
The reason we got 2 different results is because of the searches we were doing. Paul did a keyword search looking for postal history under Papua New Guinea. Under a keyword search like Paul is doing both of those keywords need to be in the title.
The boxes on the right are tied into the way it is listed on the listing forms. If you look at some of the listings that showed up under the search I did you will see that some of them the seller did not put postal history in the title but put the keyword cover in the title,but those are showing up in the search I did because they do have the item condition listed as cover- postal history.
I have a want list of around 700-800 stamps that I need to fill a 1930s Scott Junior International album. The more expensive (Scott $50+) items have been easy to find, not so the stamps that catalogue $5.00 or less. Many of these cheap stamps have proven deucedly elusive ! My want list is a mere 8 pages long. Specialists in filling want lists (e.g Downtown Stamp Co. in New Jersey, USA) have been helpful, but even with their giant inventory, they have been unable to help me make considerable progress (though I greatly appreciate their help). Perhaps someday I will muster the effort of putting the entire want list on Hip Stamp.
T. Arthur Poudrier. I did put up a page of China because of this thread, sorry, not Japanese. I put an item up for auction at $0.01cents. It had 44 views and 2 watchers(7 day auction), with 2 days to go with no bids. So I deleted the auction, if someone wanted it, I would have expected at least a single bid. Old China album single soaker page, and paid the $2.50 feature cost. Sam
Sam, you are too impatient. On auctions you need to let them run the whole time. So many wait for the last few moments and then start bidding. Pulling this auction two days early might have been a mistake, especially with two watchers.
