i'd like to join.. but in spain all the stamps are stickers.. the one that's not only has the king's face model..all the same :(

newsong 05/18/2013 #

Hi @okellyhh do you know how to remove the "sticky-ness" from the stamps? If you do, remove it, then you can join =D

Veterok 05/21/2013 #

Yeah, we also have most of the stamps in sticker sheets. I can't remember when was the last time I saw a non-sticker stamp!

newsong 05/21/2013 #

Hmmm, in that case, I'll edit it so more people can join >.< @Veterok and @ohkellyhh =)

okellyhh 05/21/2013 #

i'm sending you pm.. i will join if i can use used stamps from another european country (i will check partner so he/she won´t get the stamps from their country) i don't have used spanish stamps =( people who sent me package nationally used stamped marks.. waiting for your reply from a pm...

okellyhh 05/21/2013 #

i'm joining this swap.. dear future partner, at the end we came to a conclution that i will either send 1 new spanish stamp with 4 used from other countries (we can discuss which country you want), or all 5 used stamps from that country.. i'll pm you asap when partner assigned, but if i haven't heard from you in 1 day, less than 12 hrs if possible, i will send it randomly.. cause i usually send my swap in 1 or 2 day..

anyway the used stamps can be cut out from the envie? i'm afraid of breaking it..

okellyhh 05/21/2013 #

oh i'm from Spain..

AUSTRALIA here... I am not sure if I can find 15 USED Aussie stamps... mostly because most of my snail-mail comes from outside of Australia.. :(

newsong 05/26/2013 #

I notice that most of you are struggling with the used postage stamp issue. Here are a few suggestions, you can either send unused ones that you buy from the post office.

OR

Look for used used stamps from souvenir shops in your country?

If all else fails. Communicate with your assigned partners and see how we can come to agreement about the stamps okay? =) I'm sure you can find a substitute or some sort for the used postage stamps.

Sorry, I have to drop :(
