Just a small piece of paper, easily tore, easily lost.
If I have $10m, I would spend $2m on an antique violin. At least bigger, and can play music.

If you are talking about items used by famous people or celebrities especially for those who had passed away of course there is an value.
-
Well you have to see if the stamp value will go up or not?

Hi everyone.
From what I can gather, the more money you have, the more useless things you spend them on.
If you make millions each month, you kind of finish buying the useful stuff very fast, so you start looking at-well-stupid things like this.
-
Well it's a bit like art ain't it. You just need to wait for the next sucker to buy it from you.
-
Sekali the stamp's value will be doubled over the time leh? It's an investment. :P
-
Yes its an investment. Think of it, quite easy to carry across aiports,easy to hide,cannot be detected and legal.Better than moving around with 2.5million in cash.
-
Haha...
Sounds silly at first but a lot of people do it, isnt't it?
My friends pay annually fee to get AMEX credit cards. Pay to get a card that let you spend more money.

But the disadvantages are:
- very difficult to liquidate
- easily lost
- easily tore/damaged -

The heavy thunder storm spared no one, crashing down upon earth with no mercy. Looking out across the empty field from the window, Tom thought of his beloved wife. Beyond his touch and across the lands, his thoughts ran wild. He reaches out for a stamp to mail out his love letter.
Skipping through the wet pavement, he dropped the envelope into the mailbox with a smile on his face..
[5 days later....]
News Report - Man named Tom commited suicide. Love letter did not reach wife.
-
No I won't even if I have the money.
-
I wouldn't. I'd rather buy a custom made house or something.
-
can buy 3 million packets of cai png.
-
Right now when we don't have that much money, we won't think of buying such things la... But I don't collect stamps so I'd spend my money on other expensive stuff if I had the money.
-
hell no...
