We
stock kiloware of the whole world, often in a number of
different categories.
Stocks vary from week to week, and from day to day
- personal customers at our shop are always most likely to see
the new lines first, or the small batches not worth listing
here.
Weights are average net
contents.
A NOTE
REGARDING THE PRESENT STATE OF KILOWARE; Things have changed in recent years. Going back a decade or two, most of the stamps charities were given would be from current or recent mail, but they would always have some that people had from clearing out an old house, or going through old family papers. They might therefore have gathered in a year, say, 19kg of generally new mix plus 1kg of older, so the mix looked like new stuff and was a good source of recent stamps. The current situation is that people actually get very few stamps in the mail. Charities get smaller amounts handed in (although prices are much better than they were some years ago). So the same charity might now be getting only 2kg of new mix, but they are still getting the 1kg of older stamps, and the mixture appears less appealing to the collector looking for newer issues. Almost everything we get now is like that, with a fair number of older stamps included, and I'm afraid collectors will just have to get used to it ! |
WHAT'S
HAPPENING IN OUR CURRENT STATE OF WINDING DOWN THE
RETAIL SHOP ?; We have had much less material coming in, although for a while we continued to get new material from some of our regular charities. However, while going through all our stock we've been finding odd bags, packets, and boxes of kiloware here and there, which is all being gathered together so that we can make some final offerings. Our previous list is cancelled, and will be updated as we process stock. Quantities are very varied - there are some categories where we'll only have one bag available, yet others where we'll have hundreds. Everything is being reviewed; categories, content, packet sizes, and prices. (In the price list below, old weights and prices will be hidden by making the text grey, and only weights and prices in black are valid.) |
ORDERING;
The fact that something is listed and priced here means that we had stocks when this page was updated. We don't always have all bags in all sizes already made up, so if you are intending to collect from our shop please contact us first so that we can have it ready for you. |
Code | Country | Description | Weight * per bag | Price per bag |
Capital 1 | United Kingdom | Our "Capital Mix" is our most popular UK
mix. This is material received from charities, sometimes
with some added that we have stored for a while, and
sometimes also with some older stuff mixed in, giving a
wider variety of content than often found. All types
included - definitives, country stamps, commemoratives,
greetings, and Christmas issues. Scottish country stamps
("regionals") are found in good numbers. |
1kg 5kg 20kg |
£16. £75. £280. |
Small 1 | United Kingdom | Small stamps only
(except for sometimes some of the Castles high values),
mixed definitives of the general UK issue and the
Scottish, sometimes with a small number of Wales and
Northern Ireland. Current mix is all at least a few years
old. |
500g | £3.50 |
Large 1 | United Kingdom | Commemorative and Christmas (we try to keep the Christmas content within 25%, but cannot guarantee it). | 100g | £3.75 |

£6.75 £16.00 |
Castles |
United Kingdom |
Decimal Castles stamps on paper. Mixed issues, mixed cancels, very occasional other stamps attached. Made up "as it comes". | 200g |
£12.50 |
CSD |
United Kingdom |
"Charity Stamps Direct" box,
where people have sent stamps directly to us as donations
to charity. Most packages are not opened by us, and these
boxes are therefore a bit of a gamble ! We do not
entertain returns or complaints on these, as you are
probably as likely to get a marvelous box as a terrible
one. Available to shop
customers only, as a disclaimer form has to be signed. |

United Kingdom | Off-paper mix, as
gathered from charities (usually modern/recent) and from

(often older), plus sometimes masses that people have
soaked off over the years. |

GB FDC |
United Kingdom |
First Day Covers by weight ! We get
so many of these we are always looking for ways to dispose
of our excess stocks. Absolutely as they come, probably
nearly all typed or handwritten addresses, usually a bit
of duplication. Excellent source of used sets. |

World 1 | Foreign | "Superior Grade" World
Kiloware. One of our most popular bags - we sell loads of
this ! A whole-world mix, containing little or no
UK. When material comes in to us, simply if it looks
better it goes into the Superior mix, and if it looks less
exciting it goes into the Standard. Many of our shop customers make regular repeat purchases. |

"Superior Grade" as above
but in big bags. |
1kg |
£37.75 |
"Superior Grade" - if you are giving us a
mail order for two or more items coming to 2kg, we can
make up an 800g bag of this so as to make a 1.8kg order
which fits within the 2kg weight band and makes the
postage cost more sensible. This might take a little
longer as we don't keep any pre-made bags. |

World 3 | World | "Standard Grade" whole-world
mix with just a little U.K. Still a decent mix, but simply
not as good as the Superior. Excellent value for the
number of stamps for the price. |

World |
Off-paper mix, as obtained from charities
(usually modern/recent) and from the bottom of boxes in
which we have bought collections (often older), plus bulk
or excess material we sometimes purchase or gather.
Usually contains a smaller number of UK, will usually have
duplication to some degree, and might include a few
damaged stamps, as we do not check these stamps
individually (which also gives the chance of an occasional
"find"). Sorry, that description doesn't do the mix justice ! Another of our popular sellers in our shop, with constant repeat sales. |

Islands | Channel Islands and Isle of Man |
General mix. Tends to have a
mix of definitives and Christmas/commemoratives, and with
material included sometimes going back a few years. The
mix between the islands is not always equal ! NB; Current stock is of just Guernsey and Jersey (sometimes a few Alderney) with probably little or no Isle of Man. |
