You can sell just about anything on eBay, but I can't imagine this would be worth the time. And if you do sell them for $0.42, then when you run out you'll have to buy more for $0.43. That's a pretty thin margin. Who knows. You can sell just about anything on eBay, but I can’t imagine this would be worth the time.

I've purchased 1,000 forever stamps for my business--if we don't use them before the next rate increase (let's say to $.43), will I be able to sell them on eBay for $.42? What do you think?

The stores around here only sell them in books, not rolls. I used to always buy rolls of 100 at the post office, but now that I pay bills online I don't use them up very fast, so I'm perfectly happy to have less money tied up in the stamp drawer and get a free one with every purchase. :) I have a pretty good Chase reward credit card — 5% back on gas, grocery, and drug store purchases — and a few months ago I realized that I should be buying my stamps at the grocery store (they sell books of 20 at the customer service desk) because it’s like getting a free stamp with every book. 5% of 20 stamps = 1 stamp.

I have about 70 or so 39 cent stamps left on my roll. Granted I didn't pay for them as they are used for work, but what a hassle! This sucks. I have about 70 or so 39 cent stamps left on my roll.
