I have 300+ stamps on EZ Mount from Hampton Arts, all on either the organizer binder pages or cd cases. Most have been used only one time for the index pages. All in great condition.
Any idea on what they would be worth? I am thinking of getting rid of them, as I use and can only demo SU Stamps. I bought these when I really started getting into stamping and quickly learned I liked SU better and just became a demo right off.
It is hard to say. Chances are, you will not be able to sell them all as one huge lot and get more then an average price of 2 dollars each. that is 600 dollars overall. And, who is going to shell out that much money all at once? Anyone who would see the value in it is going to have lots of stamps to start with, and anyone newly addicted will only dream!
If you are looking to sell them, then do so in small themed groups. Like 5-10 winter themed stamps, and 5-10 floral themed stamps. Make sure you mix them up a bit, but keep matching stamps together.
To list all 300+ stamps seperatley, either here or on ebay, would be such a huge undertaking, it will probably deterr most people from doing it.
The smaller groupings, IMHO will sell easier, and overall, you will probably make more money then as one huge lot. But, this is just my opinion. When you do list them, whereever and however it is, post here so I can go and take a look!

I agree with you that is it better to divide them up into groups. That's what i would do to! Would love to see pics of them when you sell!!!
OK....I have to work tonight and have a busy day tommorrow - but I'll try to post a few pictures later this week (b/c posting pictures would require that I TAKE the pictures first!) I haven't counted to have an exact number - but I am guessing it would be around 300 or so.

(1) You may want to check for specific stamps and sets on eBay. (don't tell anyone, but that's where nearly all my stamps came from) If you were to sell each stamp seperately, they can be anywhere from 1 dollar to 25 dollars each, depending on name brand and collectibility. If you sell them in large batches of say 100 stamps per lot, without stating the brand name or desirability, they might only go for 25 cents each.
(2) Is there a stamping convention -- for instance Auntie Amy's -- coming to an arena near you? Perhaps you could set up a table to sell them.
Keep in mind too that Hampton Art stamps are sold mounted, I believe. If you've unmounted them and put them on easy mount that may be important for people who prefer them as they come from the manufacturer. Also, I'd take their age into account when pricing I dont mean how used they are but some of the older images from stamp companies are "outdated" now.
I belive Hampton sells both mounted and unmounted - b/c my Joann's has nearly exclusively Hampton and they are all mounted - but I did buy directly from them and mine were unmounted - on grey adhesive cushion only - no wood. I put them on EZ Cling Vinyl and used them with the acrylic blocks. I bought them around this time last year and they were all current at that time. However, some could definitely be gone by now - I know lots are still current though. I will have to get a list together and put for trade on here or on ebay.
Any idea how much these are worth?
Hmmmm... let me see
