Russia AR6 is 35.00 and 62.50 for used in italics while Russia AR23 is 30.00 and unspecified for used in the 2022 catalog.
This ties in with another thread "pure greed". There are two copies of AR6 on E-Bay right now where the seller wants about $380 CD for each. I wonder what he/she would say if I went in and offered CV for the stamps. I wonder how some sellers come up with values for their stamps! Stupidly I offered about $200 USD for either of the stamps and got turned down. It was a dumb offer on my part, and I think it was equally dumb of him to refuse it. If he comes back later with much lower prices for the stamps I will probably ignore the stamps!!
Edit: just thought I should mention that at least this seller is actually trying to sell the right stamp. AR6 is often not properly identified.
There are many dealers out there who do not use Ebay, Hipstamp, or other commercial venues. If you google Russia AR 8 you will find others who offer AR 8 at a reasonable price.

AR6 is very difficult to find which is probably why the ridiculous price was asked. I googled it with no luck and I tried your link with no luck, yet! Thanks for the link, I'll try it occasionally and sooner or later I should get lucky. There is some great stuff there, so thanks for your help Carol!! Rare doesn't always mean valuable. When I had my antique store I once sold a Pepsi crate that had been made into a po chair, probably unique, but only a small price!
Could someone out there give me a recent Scott's price on Russia AR6 and AR23? Either a 2021 or 2022 would do. If you use Stanley Gibbons it is 202a.
