    Unhappy lack of new items to buy

    I frequently look at what is new in the way of foreign postcards, butthere appears to be very little. I always buy what interests me but sometimes i feel it is a waste of time. Could you please encourage your postcard sellers to make a greater effort to put on more overseas cards and not to assume the only cards worth putting on are those of GB

    Now if you tell us what you want,

    what you really really want,

    Then

    The sellers can list those for you~

    It helps to know what people are looking for~

    On the other hand the OP is evidence that there are people looking for foreign cards that can't find them. A bit 'chicken and egg'! I might list some if I get time.

    Looks like I should dig out the boxes of foreign cards that are sitting in the back of a cupboard somewhere.
    Speaking for myself, I have such a large quantity of UK cards and covers, which i have a reasonable knowledge of, that I have not bothered to list many foreign cards.

    Does the OP have specific countries/areas/subjects/era that are of main interest?

    Coincidentally I've listed 20+ Belgium and France cards yesterday.
    But as Somer says, because of restrictions to which countries I can sell to here, most of my foreign cards get listed elsewhere.
    I know you've bought foreign cards from me before on here, but I think you are my only customer here for foreign topographical cards.
    I do get overseas customers for subject cards on here though.

    I think its great that a buyer has taken the trouble to post a 'wanted' heads-up on here and I wish more would do so.

    I have a few postcards for sale but they are specialist cards for the rock climbers and outdoor people.
