We are off eBay for a while!
Postal strike pending!
Canada is facing a possible postal stoppage beginning November 4. The mail carriers union will be in a position to strike,
or Canada Post to lock out workers to force the issue. The last time this happened was in 2018 and the resulting postal disruptions lasted 37 days before "back to work order" was issued. Mail did not stop moving that time, but CanPost suspended delivery guarantees during this period and delays of 5 to 7 days extra became the norm. International mail was particularly affected due to processing delays.
The previous strike was in 2011. Canada Post imposed a full national lockout at that time that lasted about 13 days and no mail moved at all.
So we will see how this plays out. We have delayed our weekly eBay sales until the situation is resolved. We don't like the idea of our customers' purchases stuck in the mail for an indeterminant time, with a higher risk of loss.
We will be back on ebay as soon as it's all over!
We are also working on the next upload, hopefully sometime this month. To stay up to date, join our mailing list!

More about our eBay auctions
Why do we auction our best covers? Over the years we have built up a long list of customers,
many of whom collect the same things. We think making the best covers available to the highest bidder
is the fairest way of deciding where they go.
"I don't like eBay, but I want some of your auction covers". We hear this from time to time. Usually, the not liking
eBay means not liking searching through masses of listings -- and we sympathize with that!.
With our auctions, you don't have to search. We present you with a neat list of
this week's covers that is pleasant to browse. If you see something you want to bid on, the link will take you straight
to the lot on eBay to place your bid-- it's no tougher than opening a Bid Sheet!
"Can I get reminders of your weekly auctions?". Absolutely! Go to our Mailing List Page
and subscribe for our "Weekly eBay auctions" mailing list. We'll send a weekly email with a brief commentary by Roy
about this week's highlights and a link to this page.
