About Me

Important Notice:
Unfortunately, I am going through some health issues and may not be able to ship your items items promptly. I am starting chemo this Tuesday 5/31/2022.  I will do everything in my power to ship your purchases as soon as possible. If I feel I will not be able to process my sales in a reasonable time, I will be putting my store on EXTENDED VACATION where the store will not be visible. Hope to be back in NORMAL MODE in the not so distant future.

History:
Ever since I was a young boy, I have always had the collecting bug. I received my first stamp album for Christmas back in 1974 and I was hooked. I have always been interested in history and geography. There is no better hobby that combines these two interests.

In 2011, I was laid off and started selling full time and decided to create an LLC. Even though I concentrate in stamps and covers, I decided to branch out into other collectibles hence the name parkinlot Stamps & Collectibles. parkinlot is obviously a play on my last name (Parkin) and lots are how items are sold on the websites. I use the lower case 'p' to because that seems to be an internet selling practice like bidStart and ebay.
Because I am not perfect, I offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If for any reason you are not satisfied with your purchase or I described the item inaccurately, I will refund your purchase once the item is returned to me in the same condition that it was received.
I am a one man operation. I do this part time as I have a full time job. My goal is to ship your purchase the following business day but this is not always possible. It may be a day or two later. I do ship internationally.
I opened a store on bidStart in May of 2006.  I have more than 19,000 positive feedbacks on bidStart with no negatives.  I'm not a big fan of the automatic 45 day positive feedback but it is what it is.
