Is it me, or my spidey senses? Should I be concerned about someone that has 43 Kashi FPC's that they're flogging??

It is not just you. I can see trading for 15,20 or even 25. Forty three makes me wary.

I think that many people order the FPC for Kashi more to add to trades/trains than for personal use. So someone could easily amass such a large amount of these coupons from different people hoping to get a large trade from some who actually enjoys eating them(haven't met anyone yet, lol)

ok so I ran a train a few months ago and the boarding pass was 1 or 2 stamps....I went to use a stamp yesterday and discovered it was a used un-cancelled stamp...I know who I recieved it from as they wrote their name on the back...I have p'med them ...asking them to fix the issue....if they don't do I request to change my rating to a neutral ?

I am curious to know how one would determine if it is 'used' if it has not been cancelled. The reason I am asking is NOT because I have sent one of these in a trade! I have, however, put a stamp on an envelope -- ended up not mailing it then cut the stamp off and used it on a new letter. (Hope I'm not confusing everyone...did this one year with half-addressed Christmas cards that never made it!) Again, I would never use this type of a stamp for a boarding pass or a trade but I can understand how someone might....

IMO as a train conductor it is your responsibility to check everything and ensure that all is in order. You already left feedback, which leaves people with the impression that you accepted everything on the train as it was, so I think that changing feedback would be wrong. It is was the train passenger's duty to send an unused stamp, but it was equally your duty to check and ensure that all boarding passes were there and correct. This is a time to let bygones be bygones and just make a mental note to not let that person ride your trains in the future.

Just my 2 cents.

Yes I am curious as well, I have stamped the wrong envie and had to cut it off the envie and glue ,etc it onto another. The post offfice told me it was fine as it wasnt used yet? Just wondering how to tell if they are used if they are not stamped or anything so I don't end up taking any in a trade??

well I guess one would want a stamp that had not been "used" by another person (even if it had not been mailed it had been used by having already been put on an envelope...

as a conductor I did check to see if all boarding passes had been put in the train...they had but honestly I didn't realize I had to check to see if I could peel every stamp off it's paper...I will let it go but certainly will spell it out for future trains...I have run lots of trains and NEVER had this issue...

I would still not send that in a trade , but use it for a personal use in future..just like you did , since the SC rule is to not send any uncancelled stamp in a trade no matter whether its from your own envie or someone else's.

I would rather take the risk of using an uncancelled stamp myself than pass it on to someone else.
