We're flooded in
I live in a small town 20kms from a large regional town. Our postman also collects the mail from the post boxes. We've had a once in a decade flood which has cut all roads (our little town is an island, but quite dry now), so no mail in or out for maybe another week. I'm still putting outgoing mail into the post box, which is well above the water line, and marking the sales as sent. I'm messaging buyers with details of the flooding and explaining that there will be at least a week's delay. Hopefully, they show a little compassion when it comes to leaving feedback!

Catalogues are only part of the story
It would be nice to think that stamp catalogues are comprehensive, but they're not. I've scanned a few minor Australian varieties to add to my store, and a few of them are unlisted in the Australian Commonwealth Specialised Catalogue. I've seen them before, and I know they're constant, yet I can't provide a catalogue number for them. The ACSC has always irked me for this, as page after page of content is dedicated to proofs and other items that 99% of collectors will never see, yet they can't find room for all known varieties.

No Coals to Newcastle, but Smiling Boys to New Zealand!
@Darren Knight you mentioned sending Korean stamps to Korea the other day, now I'm sending NZ to NZ. This nice pair of Smiling Boys is off to Auckland. I'm surprised they couldn't find better or cheaper in NZ, but happy they didn't!

Provide what customer's want
If you pay attention to what's selling, not just the revenue, you can boost sales very quickly. Just lately, it's been Australian KGV heads, with or without varieties, which are selling like hotcakes for me, with three new regular customers having "found" me. Customer's are getting very fussy about the back side of the stamp, insisting on MUH over MH, but used are selling as well. These are a few I've sold this week, and I think I know what I'm scanning this weekend 😊
