A Short Introduction To The Philately Of Palestine

This is a list of actual prices in the real market. The research took into account 3,381 quotations: fixed prices offered by retailers (on or off the internet), fixed-priced offers on Ebay ("Buy It Now") and Ebay auctions, as well as some offers on Bidstart, Delcampe, and Bid-Or-Buy.

The guide lists both an average price (rounded to the nearest 0.10€), and the actual lowest price seen. In instances where there are only very few quotations, the price is set in italics, and where there is actually only one quotation parentheses are added. Some offers have been exluded from calculations due to their fantasy nature: e.g. the 2000 booklet was offered by one ebay-seller at well over 150 US-$, seven times the average (finding no buyers, needless to say!).

The inclusion of some officially unissued stamps and the Hamas stamps are not a political endorsement but an indication of the market itself. Please click on the links provided for more information about indivudual stamp issues.

Please note that I am not a seller myself! I am a private collector gathering market data.
