I recently picked up a few boxes of United States Stamps among others at an Estate sale (I was the only bidder) There were a number of sets of Computer vended postage that I will admit I know virtually nothing about - US Stamps are not my strong suit. My latest Scott Catalog is not much help to me either. Any information regarding collectability, value and the like would be appreciated.

The design of the stamps you have pictured were sold from five different machines, three of them in Washington, DC and two in Kensington, MD. The ones pictured are from Machine # 83 in Washington, DC. The Scott Specialized Catalog of US Stamps and Covers lists these but in my 2014 catalog most are without prices listed. A set like the one pictured would likely go for $10-20 (just my guess). I have a few of this design in my collection.

Ah! Was that the pilot program? If so I’d say they have some value since the usage was small.

You could say it was the pilot program. I get the impression though, that many of these were saved and demand for them is quite low.

All true.
My 2018 catalog does not value them in used condition - only unused/mint.

Thanks. My 2023 Scott only lists a value for the first item and not the other 4.
