Hello, my brother passed away, and he collected empty beer bottles. I’m looking to give them to someone who might be interested in taking them. There are more than 500 of them. You’ll need to come pick them up in Doudeville, Normandy France.
If you know of any other websites or people I could contact, please let me know—I’m new to this!

In my opinion, ChatGPT had fairly reasonable mutually exclusive definitions and the notion that they are not completely rigid, and therefore administrator discretion remains necessary in case of differing opinions.

I also read that option 1 is very popular despite this. Of the two options mentioned, it is in any case the least impactful. But it is easy for me to say that as a non-collector of EDK or Ersttagblad.

One more point for improvement while we're at it ;)
Can the Twitter logo be changed?

As always, it takes some getting used to with an adjustment, but every step forward is a step forward.

Personally, I would like to see "In catalogue" as the first option under "New on LastDodo," because it is now really leaning towards a purchase.

You start with the popular buying sections that draw attention, then everything for the collector, and then yet again the buying that distracts from the catalog, which consequently seems to get buried under the (understandable) sales policy aimed at maintaining and expanding the catalog.

Looks fine,

Thanks vanOpijnen


But first and foremost, we were a collectors' site.

We are still focusing entirely on collectors fazerco
They can only do different things: buy and sell collectibles, manage the collection and wish list, work on the catalog, and connect with other collectors via messages or the forum.

Rene Of course we’ve been selling since 2008; everyone who’s been hopping around here longer knows that. But first and foremost, we were a collectors’ site. And with this 'homepage,' we are a real sales site.

Rene Looks fine; clearly intended for newcomers, as they will consult the homepage most often. It seems logical to me that the seller section takes center stage. From my perspective as a collector, the reasoning is: The more revenue for the site, the longer and better I can continue managing my collection via Lastdodo, which is also still completely free.

We have been a site where you can also buy and sell since our start in 2008. Without the revenue we generate from this, the catalog could not exist. Therefore, it is necessary for continuity. There is no other way.

And especially this version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmEBlrRRMBQ from the album Stop Making Sense. There is so much soul and feeling in this. Actually incredible; such a totally different atmosphere as Psycho Killer from the same album. Fantastic band.

The answer from seller bertie1256 is perfect. If I were him, I wouldn't feel the need for an adjustment.

We have updated our homepage today.

Information has mainly been added about everything you can do on LastDodo.
Not all users appeared to fully understand the concept.

It is now also easier to go to the largest categories in Buy.
We often received the question of how to view the selection in a specific category.
That is now clearer via the "dots" on the homepage.
You can still navigate directly to the largest catalog categories via the navigation at the top.

And the jobs with new items in For Sale, Catalog, Collections, and Watch Lists are now somewhat more compact on the page via sub-navigation (tabs on desktop computers and a dropdown on mobile).

You can now also access the information page about the subscriptions more easily.
Not everyone could find that.

Let us know if everything on the homepage works well for you.
If you run into any issues, please let us know.

For Eerstedagkaart, 18 years after the start of the catalogue, virtually all items are still Dutch (1,265 out of 1,447). It seems clear to me from this that it is not internationally recognizable as a distinct species. Above all, do not keep discussing this for too long and merge it with Eerstedagblad into a single species.

And that also applies to other stamp types, where (virtually) everything comes from the Netherlands / Belgium. For example, everything from Kinderbedankkaart still appears to be Dutch (Maximumkaart is internationally recognizable, though). We need to be a catalog that is easily usable for everyone. And if there are fewer types, it also becomes easier to add new stamps to the catalog. Especially for new users.

It might also be a good idea to take a look at the usage types. "Migrated from the 'Other' category" and "Migrated from another category" don't seem very clear to me either and I think they could be removed anyway.

Charles1971 Well...does it help? When I read that definition, it doesn't seem to cover the current definition of First Day Charts (nor the definition proposed by portbetaald). So that would actually argue for keeping chart and sheet separate. I just polled the super-administrators.

In terms of time period, it could be possible, but unfortunately, I can't find a cover anywhere to substantiate this. Do you have any idea?

It seemed so simple... the decision to keep them separate had been made. Just a quick clarification of the definitions :-) Now it seems we are back to square one. To be clear: I am not taking a substantive position, although I understand how difficult it is to find unambiguous and mutually exclusive definitions.

If I search for the definition of FDC myself, I find: "A First Day Cover (FDC) is an envelope, postcard, or other piece of mail bearing a postage stamp that has been cancelled (postmarked) on the very first day that stamp was officially released for public use." That definition would even encompass all types (cover, card, and sheet), but as far as I know, the desire is to at least keep 'envelope-shaped' FDCs separate.

I'm picking up the subject again via the super-administrator email that originally prompted the poll on the forums. I do hope that portbetaald responds to his original delimitation.

If no one can indicate the difference between a First Day Card and a First Day Sheet, on what basis does an administrator decide to which category an item belongs?
Apparently a kind of lottery, the outcome of which is uncertain.
Merge these 2 types as soon as possible.
I think this is still the clearest (and therefore best) solution.

I repeated the ChatGPT approach of portbetaald and pressed on a bit further.

The following statements ultimately result from this:
The classification into first-day cards and first-day papers is a catalogue classification. It is based on the editorial form of the object and not necessarily on the physical form and the name given to it by the publisher.

First daily sheet: a document designed as an information carrier
First Day Ticket: a document designed as an image or souvenir

Naturally, both stamps must bear the correct postmark.
This could be workable provided the front and back are scanned.
Because the LD definition in certain countries could structurally differ from what is stated on the object, the confusion among users (and administrators) is still not truly resolved by this.

edit: for block and skin we do have tight LD definitions and that works fine in my opinion
