POPSBuying Postage Stamps at a Discount! Now heres an extremely clever idea. In order to beat USPS rate hikes, buy old stamps at a discount from Stamp and Coin Dealers! Dan Pritchett at Logos Bible Software found a creative way to make a deal with a local stamp and coin dealer to not only buy old stamps at a discount but get his invoices hand stamped to boot! This idea wouldn't work for large businesses, but if you're an entrepreneur with more modest billing and invoicing needs, this idea has merit.
