This page contains relevant information on how to contact us. There is also a brief description on what we do and also links to view our ongoing Internet auctions as well as our auction feedbacks.
Feel free to review the whole page or use the following links to jump to any particular sections of this page.
Our mailing address for all correspondence and shipments:
Michael Lau
P.O. Box 960593
Miami, FL 33296
U.S.A.
Our emergency phone number is: (786) 897-5286
Please note the phone number is for emergencies only and thus calls should be kept short. If one anticipates a lengthly discussion, feel free to email us beforehand with a phone number and appropriate time for us to call you.
There are two main email accounts that we can be contacted at, laum1@aol.com or laumpc@aol.com. While either email address can be use, if the subject matter is related to an auction, it is recommended that one should choose the email address corresponding to the seller id on the auction site. Also, once a correspondence has started, it is recommended that the same email address be use until the correspondence has concluded.
Our primary business is breaking down of lots and collections and reselling it as singles or sets. As such, one would rarely find us offering collections or large lots. Also, since the labor is fairly intense in breaking down material into small units, the offerings will generally not be heavily discounted from catalog. This site is mainly oriented towards those who wants to fill holes in their collection and not the purchase of a large volume of material at heavy discount from catalog.
We also have more emphasis towards modern material versus classics. This is primarily due to a lack of philatelic expertise to deal with the classic material. We try very hard to deal only with material we can properly identify and feel comfortable with.
In terms of postal history, our main emphasis is low price covers. We also have modern philatelic productions, especially first day covers. We will try to segregate out FDCs from the non-philatelic postal history to not frustrate the postal historian in their search. However, event covers will generally be included in with postal history.
The best way to get a feel for the quality of our material is to review our auction feedbacks. We have been selling on ebay since 1998 and have multiple accounts on ebay. One should view our feedback record of either ebay ID - laum1@aol.com or laumpc to get a feel of our performance.
Also, please note our high number of total feedbacks relative to number of unique feedbacks. This indicates a fairly high number of repeat buyers. In some instances, we have ebay buyers who have won more than one hundred of our ebay auctions.
Finally, we are continually running auctions on ebay. One can view our current offerings under either ebay ID - laum1@aol.com or laumpc.
Note that our auction offerings is usually different than what is being offer on this site. Mainly items that are not suited for auctions or unsold from previous auctions are placed into net price lists. Thus, it is recommended that one do view our auction offerings from time to time.
We generally do not accept any consignments for auctions or net price lists. However, if you have a realistic view of auction realizations and want to work with us, feel free to contact us to discuss the material. Also, we are always looking to purchase material outright.
