Just to inform you guys, USPS rates increase January 27rd. So buy up those prepaid mailers and whatnot if you ship CTU's.

Great I'm not making much on the copper I am selling now.

how much will the 45 cents rate rise to? I'm at work and can't take the time to read the site.

Looks like my quasi-governmental USPS, zero coupon, inflation indexed(?), 1st Class Forever baby bonds (stamps) are paying off about 1.55% per year. Hummm, shoulda bought silver back in '07 instead. Oh well, I've made worse investments.

Still a bargain! I might have to figure out how to squeeze in a few more pennies to cover that extra dollar.

Stamp prices going up again, eh? Well, that's no problem for Hoard; hey, you still have that huge cheap discounted stamp pile that you bought awhile back, don't you? So you're still set for another 10 years or so, right???

No wonder the USPS is losing money. I got 4 Christmas cards this year (mailed from different parts of the US) where the stamp wasn't cancelled. Takes a gentle tug to get them off the envelope.
Once removed you can decide what to do with them. I know. I know. One isn't legally supposed to re-use postage, but I tried it as sort of an experiment. None were returned to me.
