I am a Sydney,  Australia stamp dealer, and have been in this business full time for over 20 years.   I deal only by mail order from my home, and have thousands of customers all over the world.  I write regular  philatelic stamp "Tipster" columns internationally and in overseas magazines, like Linn's Stamp News,  Philatelic Exporter,  Gibbons Stamp Monthly,  Stamp Collector, etc., and have done so for about 20 years.  I write the monthly "Market Matters" column in each "Stamp News".   Have also owned and/or published and/or Edited leading Stamp and Coin magazines myself locally.  My background is journalism. 

I have no shop,  no staff,  no kids,  I do no shows ... even my website is done on the cheap!   (Despite this, it is THE most visited stamp dealer website in the Southern Hemisphere, and has been since 1997.)  Therefore my overheads are low and my prices are low ... so low in fact that hundreds of other dealers buy from me!   When you contact Glen Stephens,  you deal only with me, not an employee.   So whether by E-mail, Phone, Fax, or Post you deal only with the owner of the business.  And because I work very long hours from home,  you can contact me 25 hours a day,  7 days per week - you do not have to worry about time zones.  I frequently field phone calls and faxes and emails at 3:00 am. Sydney, Australia time.  Try me out today!

Sydney is Australia's largest city,  with over 4,000,000 people but has virtually no serious stamp dealers.  (Thank Goodness!!)   I am the biggest stamp buyer in Sydney,  and I am constantly buying large Deceased Estates, "distress" lots,  and dealer stocks etc, etc, at very low prices,  as frankly almost no-one else here is interested in buying large lots for cash without "cherry picking".   I buy it ALL,  and after 20+ years,  collectors,  solicitors,  other dealers,  Public Trustee etc generally know this.   Auctions take an ETERNITY to settle after you consign the goods, and they cheekily charge both buyers AND sellers very hefty commissions, and there is no certainty whatever about the final price you will receive.  Many sensible vendors just can't accept that is a clever way to sell their stamps.  Much more complete details HERE about selling your material.  

I don't have a shop,  but simply price up and lot this material "as received" at often a 10% mark-up from my cost.  Because of this,  you are generally paying well below wholesale and auction prices for my material.  I do not charge any nasty 15% "Buyer's Commission" rip-off imposition on my material.  "What you see is what you pay."   

My policy is not unlike like K-Mart - quick turnover on a small profit margin,  so stock does not linger about long.  The clear advantage of this is that new stock is coming in all the time.  If I don't have it this week,  I may well have it next week, so it pays to keep an eye on my lists.  Click HERE  to check out my latest Price List.  And click HERE  to be added totally FREE to my ever increasing email list,  where I will email you offers of hot new material once a month or so. 

I am a long standing Life Member of the  ASDA (New York),  also the  PTS (London),  APS (USA),  ANDA (Australia) and numerous collector and specialist societies, so you can deal with me in complete confidence.  I travel the world pretty avidly and have visited well over 120 different countries on vacation, and have been to all Continents.  If you are interested  -  a detailed travel article archive may be found HERE.  

Thanks for reading - hope we can do business soon!

Yours Faithfully,

Glen Stephens
