“The World’s Largest Stamp Show Online Marketplace”
September 2022: The Philatelic Traders’ Society is delighted to announce the launch of the Stampex Online Marketplace for Stampex 2022, in partnership with StampAuctionNetwork. Previewing from 25th September and launching on 28th September in line with the physical show, the online site will be live for the duration of the show and until the 28th October. With over 99,000 listings, it is set to be the world’s largest stamp show online marketplace. This is a wonderful way for stamp lovers to be able to shop from their favourite Stampex and trusted PTS Members dealers all under one roof. We know that coming away from Stampex with something new for your collection is the greatest feeling. The Stampex Online Marketplace will allow everyone to get that “look what I got!” feeling during and after the show.
Suzanne Rae, Managing Director comments ‘We are excited to be working with the StampAuctionNetwork team to elevate the Stampex Online Marketplace offer. The concept of a parallel online shopping experience worked well at the 2021 show but as always, we are constantly seeking innovative ways to bring new philatelic experiences to collectors around the world. Working with StampAuctionNetwork will allow us to list almost 100,000 items, and provide far more functionality for collectors to search, and for PTS Members to help clients find what they are looking for. We want elements of our world class Stampex show to be accessible to everyone, everywhere. Along with Stampex Talks online and live social media content, the Stampex Online Marketplace will really give all different types of collectors, from all over the world, the chance to be part of Stampex International without having to leave their home.“
David Kern, Partner at StampAuctionNetwork comments “We are very excited to partner with The Philatelic Traders’ Society and Stampex to bring this innovative Stampex Online Marketplace to fruition in conjunction with one of the World’s Largest Stamp Shows. This Marketplace presents a new and unique way for PTS members, Stampex attendees (physically present and virtual), and the global StampAuctionNetwork philatelic community to interact. In the Stampex Online Marketplace, collectors at Stampex or anywhere in the world will be able to search and find featured items from participating stand-holders, buy them on the spot or find out in which stand they are located to physically inspect the item. Visit all stands at once in one place on your laptop or mobile device from anywhere in the world! “
The launch of the Marketplace will be announced first on social media and in the Stampex newsletter. So don’t forget to follow us @ptsandstampex and register for the newsletter at www.stampexinternational.com/signup. More information will be found online at stampexinternational.com/marketplace
