We currently have about 70-80 stamps from the last roll. Luckily I didn't have to resort to any lean talk to convince her we could afford the extra $1.00 when it came time to get a new roll. :-) We were at Costco two weeks ago, when my wife says to me; “We need to buy another roll of stamps(100) because the cost is going up.” We currently have about 70-80 stamps from the last roll.

It was very inexpensive on their part, but a nice thoughtful gesture to their clients (and a way of remembering them if I knew someone who needed a realtor). Nice marketing approach.

I know he was making more than $0.04/hr those days. Just put another stupid stamp on it and let it go! Talk about the waste of waiting!
