Now heres an extremely clever idea. In order to beat USPS rate hikes, buy old stamps at a discount from Stamp and Coin Dealers!

Dan Pritchett at Logos Bible Software found a creative way to make a deal with a local stamp and coin dealer to not only buy old stamps at a discount but get his invoices hand stamped to boot!

This idea wouldn't work for large businesses, but if you're an entrepreneur with more modest billing and invoicing needs, this idea has merit.

Then you come to the postage category. You look at that solid and steadily increasing dollar amount, shed a few tears, and move on since you know there is no way to save on the actual postage itself. You can't just stop mailing invoices or statements, and you can't use bulk mail for them – you're stuck.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/1C9A2333-3787-4272-B874-0D20F25F2590/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
