Man buys $8,000 worth of stamps to use forever http://www.pennlive.com/news/patriotnews/index.ssf?/base/news/1179282331253740.xml&coll=1&thispage=1 Quote A guy walks into a post office and buys $8,000 worth of stamps. Sounds like the start of something, but there's no punch line. Someone walked into the post office in Camp Hill the other day and bought $8,000 worth of Forever Stamps.

He'd get as much a return on his investment in a savings account, and he wouldn't have to lug $8000 worth of stamps around. (Yeah, I actually ran the numbers. Now who's the moran? I guess it's me.)Title: Re: Man buys $8,000 worth of forever stamps Post by: Spartan on May 16, 2007, 11:58:58 AM He's just investing in postage futures. ;D

See, this guy made a bet with some guy named Professor over the Beagles and the playoffs. He lost and had to send Professor a dozen Pro V1s. Thing is, he wrapped them in so much packing tape the postage ran to $20,000. LOL, but you should have seen the look on the old Professor's face when it showed up.

I think the most I've used is 20 over 7 months - but that was when I was writing a letter every other week. And I don't think I've used 3 stamps since. lol Title: Re: Man buys $8,000 worth of forever stamps Post by: fisherking on May 17, 2007, 07:33:23 PM Maroon.
