AHPS Sales Circuit Notes
AHPS sales circuits
are a service which allows members to buy needed material or to sell material
in which they have lost interest.
AHPS circuits are specialized.
They usually contain mostly material from only one or two related
categories of the forty itemized in the circuit participation form. Members therefore will receive circuits
which contain mostly material in which they have a direct interest.
Circuits contain
stamps and /or covers ranging in price from 20 cents to $400 or more per item,
usually with a nice distribution and something for everyone. Prices are generally less than one
would pay at a bourse or to a mail order dealer. In addition to broad selections and very reasonable prices,
circuit buyers have the luxury of being able to carefully review and evaluate
possible purchases in their home at their leisure.
Sellers can buy sales
books for 75 cents or $1.50 each, postpaid, depending on size with a minimum
order of $3.00 and pay only a 12% commission on sales. Earned commissions after expenses are
returned to the AHPS treasury. Sellers are encouraged to submit books
with only one or two closely related categories. Material from all categories is welcome, except for
post-1960 first day covers.
A circuit
participation form or additional information on buying and selling in the
circuits by AHPS members can be obtained from:
