Cheap postage stamps

NJBrown

An advert for55% off postage stamps keeps popping up on Facebook. It offers 80 2nd class stamps (barcoded) for £25.90. Is it safe to buy them?

You probably won’t know until you get to the post office and they refuse them as being fakes.

I sell stamps cheap on Facebook sometimes because I have a surplus but I don’t sell them that cheaply. If it seems too good to be true and all that……

Makes me wonder why anyone would pay full price for something and then sell it on at a discount.  If they weren't barcoded and using non barcoded was ok then maybe in someone bought the stamps and 2p each and they're now worth £ so even at a discount they're making money.  

The fact that it's an ongoing advert on FB and they're barcoded makes me think they're counterfeit.

Perfectly safe to buy them. Just don't expect them to be valid for use!
