Only In addition to the standard methods of selling stamps, which we have described above, the APS offers several special sales programs to help our members and their heirs to dispose of their stamp collections. If you are not a member and would like to take advantage of these services, you may join by clicking here . The Society has introduced a highly successful new Internet sales program , which allows you to mount your stamps on our sales sheets and mail them to us. The APS also operates a members only sales circuits, which is a very effective method of disposing of low and medium value material. While realizations are often higher than by other sales methods, the owner is obliged to sort, identify, mount and price his own material.
Time is also necessary to circulate the material.
If time and ready cash are not decisive factors, this is an excellent method for maximizing return. Visit our Sales Division on-line for more information. The APS does not generally buy or sell stamps. The APS estate auction was established to make it easier for members' heirs to dispose of a collection through an APS member auction house at an unreserved auction, and to know that they are getting a fair price for the collection. A portion of the proceeds from each year's estate auction will be returned by the auction house for the support of the Society.
