Seller Instructions

Selling through the Society circuit service entails three simple steps: 

Mount, annotate and price your material. 

1. Obtain Circuit Book Pages 

 The method to obtain circuit book pages:  

Cutting the pages down the center is optional.  Unlike traditional circuit books, the pages should not be bound into a "book" form.  Please keep the pages loose leaf to ease scanning by the administrator. 

2. Mount, Annotate and Price your Material

 It is important that the seller understands that the circuit department administrator will not annotate, describe, price or arrange your material.  Your material will be scanned and presented as received.  Some guidelines and tips follow below, but in summary,  just use common sense.   A prospective buyer should be able to see your material, be able to request it from the circuit administrator by identifying a space number (or a series of space numbers), and they should be able to clearly read the catalog number, your price, and any associated notes.

 Mounting

Annotating

The minimum annotation per stamp is a catalog number (please specify the catalog used if not Scott) and your price (the "net" price).  The stamp sheets also contain a space for the catalog price.  Entering a catalog price is not mandatory, but it is useful. 

Pricing 

Price your material realistically.  You cannot expect to sell anything if your assigned prices are above or near the top of current market prices for similar material.  If you do not want to sell your material, do not take the trouble to submit it.

 

When you have a prepared a set of circuit pages for sale, please notify me at mepsicircuit@gmail.com by e-mail prior to shipping.  If you do not have the mailing address, I will send it to you at that time.  Your notification will also allow me to expect your shipment.  You will be notified promptly in return when your material has arrived.

 MEPSI accepts no responsibility for sales books until they are initially received from the owner for entry into the circuit book sales department.  Please note that while your material is insured while in the possession of the department, it is not insured during transit, and MEPSI is not responsible for mailing losses.  You should send your material to the administrator using a mailing method commensurate with the risk of loss.

 Upon return of your unsold material, you will be asked to specify the mailing method, and the cost will be deducted from your sale proceeds.

Please do not submit selections with a total net value of less than $50 per ten pages.

3. Mail your material to the circuit department administrator
