Default Above the Mark closing :(

I'm sad that this company is going out of business after nearly two decades.

I'm grateful to a fellow SCSer for introducing me to Beth and her beautiful images.

I've placed several very large orders over the past couple of years, from the first time I ever knew about it. I had a feeling when I recently got an email saying that all stamps were 30% off for a short time. I bought a ton of images I hadn't gotten previously. Boy, I'm glad I did because a lot of what I just got are now sold out. I'm definitely going to miss Above the Mark. I could get images that were hard to find elsewhere. Eventhough I haven't even had a chance to use anything from my last order, I need to place one more order since they're going to be unavailable soon. I've always had fast, wonderful service.

You were the one that introduced them to me. Thank you so much. I was hoping you'd see this.

What a colossal shame - I looked through the stamp catalog and saw so many wonderful images.

I purchased a lot from Above the Mark, and loved Beth's stamps. I'm sorry to lose another good online source!

Yeah, I remember! I think you first ordered not that long after I was introduced to the company by someone here mentioning the name. I hadn't ever heard of the company and went to check it out - left her site with a much lighter wallet, as did you!

Got an email update early this morning saying that 176 images are already sold out, but 397 images are still available and another reminder to regularly refresh the pages before you add the image to your cart because they're selling out quickly and Beth is trying to remove the sold out ones as quickly as she can. If you don't refresh the page, then you might not see that something sold out while viewing the page but before placing something in your cart.
