This website is dedicated to stamps and various other philatelic interests. As they are developed they will be added to the main index page.
The Files page will be utilized for links to reference pages showing images of stamps from different countries. The different sales links will get you to my shopping cart which in turn will get you to the many pages of stamps sets, singles and souvenir sheets I have put up for sale. Enjoy what is there for now
and thank you for visiting my web site.
This site is run on a private webserver directly from my main PC at home. In turn, if there is severe weather conditions in my area
one can expect the site to be temporarily down at times, usually during winter months. I live in the foot hills of the Olympic mountains in Washington State.
One of my other hobbies is computer programming and web site developement.
I went to college and learned programming back in the 80's before Windows even existed. I am a professional commercial painter by trade. I tried the office end for a period of time
but could not handle the behind the desk environment and one day put my Pierre Cardon suite in mothballs...put on the painter whites and went out into the world. Since then I have painted in the tallest buildings, the largest
manufacturing and developement companies (like Boeing and Microsoft) and even painted in Bill Gates home and cabin. I find it to be
a never ending adventure and my trade keeps me in top physical condition.
My web site is developed on the principal of being an almost totally free site. I host the site and all the programs
including the shopping cart are totally and legally free donations on the internet. I have made several code changes for them to suite my
sites requirements for selling stamps, ect;. I even run an SSL certificate of my own so if one is not confortable
one can just add an "s" to the end of "http" for secure web pages. This is not so good for images and logos though as they are considered insecure and
makes the site a mess...hehe. The only things I have paid for are the domain registrations and the server itself
and of course I use Comcast with their highest internet speed boost so hopefully my pages open very quickly for you.
I use PayPal for all online financial transactions so one need not worry about theft of your
financial information. I do also accept cash/money orders and checks. I am an honest person and will not cheat you in any way. Please feel free to browse my site with confidence
and perhaps you will find what you are looking for here.
Good luck and good hunt!
Best regards.
