How difficult it may be to change the status quo of the postal market in 2024, why do you see it this way? Because as far as the external environment is concerned, the world economic recovery reflects the poor situation, in addition to the war and other extremely complex factors, the investment market to get out of the predicament is not good, from the internal reality, the stamp issuance and sales policy of the China Post Group has completely hindered the healthy development of the stamp market, forcing more and more philatelic enthusiasts to leave the market, the key to the problem is that a series of contradictions caused by booking stamps can not be solved. Like friends who like it, add a follow, thank you for your support.
On the one hand, the stamps bought by real philatelic enthusiasts at face value have been reduced to discounted stamps in the process of discounting and dumping, and have been discarded like garbage, which has seriously dampened their enthusiasm. On the other hand, due to the stamp investment in the primary market, China Post Group pre-sale stamps in advance to pay cash reservation, the stamps provided to the subscribers are mostly lower than the face value of the discount supply, the subscribers get the goods after the price to the secondary market. In this way, the role of the booker is not the end consumer, and the end consumer has become a victim in this sales system, but if you buy a ticket for many years, you will live in it, because the internal settlement cost of the philatelic company is very low, and the inventory release is a "bottomless pit", and the participants are difficult to estimate and avoid this risk.
In the whole process of sales and circulation of the new postal issue, China Post Group not only supplied the products to the subscribers at a substantial discount at the beginning, but also continued to dump the market at low prices without any bottom line, and some of them were even lower than the discounted prices given to the subscribers, and the result was that even the subscribers were inevitably lost. Taking the large edition album as an example, the latest information shows that in the 9 years from 2015 to 2023, the large edition book booked by the subscribers, except for the 2020 and 2021 large edition albums, has made a slight profit so far, and the other years have lost money, with the largest loss of 46%, and even the large edition of the 2023 stamp is currently at a loss.
Therefore, even if the external environment of stamp investment improves, the status quo inside it does not completely change, and stamp investment cannot be done. As soon as the new post came out, it either opened at a high premium, and then it went all the way, or it broke the face value sharply and couldn't get up, who would do this kind of business?
In 2024, it may be difficult to change the status quo of the postal market, and it will not be without a short-term opportunity. Appropriate attention can be paid to the performance of some small quantities of high-quality varieties, such as the varieties that are still strong in the small sheet category, especially the opportunities for some varieties to be missed. Philately is deep, and it is cherished.
