No stamp dealers within 100 miles ... which leaves me with on-line choices only. I use SoR approvals, Stamps2go.com, Noblespirit.com and Rosenberg Philatelics on-line auctions as my primary sources. All are equally good for my needs.

I am mainly just an ebay and club auction purchases guy.
I myself sell a few stamps occasionaly, but mostly just niche stuff.
What are you looking for 1899?
I doubt there are any stamp delers/clubs in Pahrump, right?

I started dealing with Nickerson Stamps in the very early 1970's with Bob Nickerson in charge. He sold the business to his son Steve and both of them run the business now with Steve in charge. I still buy from them and, as far as I can remember, have never had a problem in the 50+ years I have been using their services. I've got amazing stuff from them over the years at very fair prices and highly recommend them to everyone! I can't imagine why they would object to me including this: https://nickerson-stamps.com/ When I am no longer here it will be their job to redistribute my collection and share the proceeds with charity.

As of lately I primarily make on line purchases from sellers/dealers on eBay. Those sellers/dealers are Pavstamps/Peter Billis international,CK stamps, Noble Spirit
New York stamps, Rich&Vic Stamps and a few others. I really like these sellers/dealers because they have always treated me well and I usually buy large lots. There are some others that just cant remember right off the top of my head.
I haven't set foot in a brick and mortar shop in a very long time. I grew up in southern California. San Bernardino to be direct and to the point. My favorite shop is Coops stamp and coin shop and they are still open and have moved to Redlands. Then there was Del Rosa stamp and coin and a few others that I'd go to.
When I was stationed at Fort Carson I'd routinely haunt Ackley's rock and stamp shop. I don't know if they are still there or not? Old Art was up there in his age when I last saw him and that was over 10 years ago.
I really miss the brick and mortar shops. The closest one to where I live now is a 2 1/2 hour drive from me. There are some others that are closer but they are by appointment only are only interested in buying not selling and only seem to be interested in the high dollar mint never hinged material by cherry picking collections. In-fact one of those dealers will be at the stamp club meeting tonight.
My sources for supplies is Amos Advantage, Stamp Paraphernalia and of course Hobby Lobby when I get really desperate.

I love recommendations for dealers I've never heard of. What a shame their catalog has one listing!

You said "What a shame their catalog has one listing!", I think (maybe I'm wrong) you are referring to one of the dealers list, but which one?

Weeda Stamps, Victoria, British Columbia. They offer weekly specials, monthly auctions featuring higher value stamps, covers, collections, box lots, and occasional off-beat items. About half of the hundreds of offers feature Canadian items. One of the best things about Weeda? Great customer service, and free shipping, at least within Canada. I’ve known the current owner, Firmin Wyndels, since he was in his teens, about 20 years ago.

As I said I've been with them for over 50 years and get wonderful stuff. They are mostly an approval service, not really an online provider. Once you are registered he will provide whatever you need, within reason of course!!
