You just made $20k, right? Wrong. You need to sell those stamps to get your money out. Who are you going to sell a million stamps to? And why would they buy them from you, instead of the Post Office? Everyone who needs stamps will have bought a roll or two of forever stamps just before the price went up. They won't need new stamps for at least a year or so. So you're going to sit on a million stamps for a year, and then open a store to sell them? How long will that take? You'll do all that for a measly $20k? What are you, nuts?

Sure, stock up on a roll or two for your personal use. But stop there.

Yeah, I slyly gave my opinion of the forever stamp here. It was more of a matter of trying to kick start the post office, if'n you ask me.
