Default Question about Stampin Spots

While cleaning my craft area this weekend I came across a box that was my mom's (I inherited all of her crafting stuff) In it were 4 boxes of SU's stampin spots. The little cubes haven't been opened but I know they are old. I mean it has the color family "earth elements" lol.

Do you think since they haven't been opened, that they're still good? If they are, I'd like to sell them but I don't want to sell them if there's a chance of them being dry.

I haven't checked mine in years but they were good even though old. If there is no sign of leakage (apparently some cubes had or got loose threads that wicked away the ink) offer them exactly as you described them in "as is" condition at a fair price.

I think many SU users will have re-inkers and the popularity of stamping platforms has given preference to smaller cubes.


Good luck, whatever you decide.

I have and use Stampin Spots that I bought about 15 years ago! I think yours will be fine, and you could always offer to open the package to check for a potential buyer. Just carefully peel up the label which holds the Spot closed in case the buyer doesn't like it to be torn. I think you would know if there were loose threads that wicked ink. I had that happen to one Spot before I learned to trim the loose thread, and the label soaked up the ink. Once I figured that out it never happened again!
