Westmont, IL -- (SBWire) -- 08/09/2016 --The Rasdale Stamp Company, a local Chicago area collectibe auction house, has announced that they will sell stamps and collectibles from all over the world through a retail store on their website. In contrast to their live public auctions, the retail store will offer buyers and sellers a collectible marketplace that operates on a continuous basis.

Rasdale's online retail store is currently operational. It features a search tool that potential customers may use to locate a particular item. It also allows users to browse the available collections by country or region of origin. There are stamps and collectibles available from over 30 current or historic countries or regions: the United States, France, French Colonies, Greece, Great Britain, British Colonies, Asia, Belgium, the People's Republic of China and Latin America are a few of the areas from which stamps are available. The largest section of the online retail store is for stamps from the United States—over 7,000 items are available. The store currently lists over 300 items from various former British Colonies like India and Australia, as well as over 400 items from the People's Republic of China.

Once a user of the online retail store has indicated the country, region or historic political entity to search under, the potential customer is provided with a drop-down menu of stamp categories to choose from. In the United States alone, the categories of stamps available in the retail store include regular issues, plate blocks, booklet panes, booklets, full sheets and more.

After selecting a category of stamp within a defined region, the online store shopper is taken to a search result page where it lists the details of the particular items available. The year or range of years in which the stamp was issued is listed first. Then, the condition of the stamp is given a star rating. A brief description of the stamp is also listed, which includes information, for example, about which set an individual stamp was a part of. Then, the price for the stamp is listed. Customers interested in making a purchase through the Rasdale Stamp Company's online retail store then have the option of selecting the quantity of the item they want to purchase—if more than 1 are available—and then adding the item to their shopping cart. Customers are given the option of signing into their account to purchase or of checking out by entering their contact and payment information.
