Seriously, it is an application that saves hours of your time and gets improved and updated by people that care. You basically get it for sending the developers one coffee each month. Unless you want to say you love them like I did :)

- It is so easy to use you won’t ever need support.

- It has a constantly growing database and dedicated support.

- It’s created by stamp collectors for stamp collectors.

On the contrary, there are four very obvious reasons to buy it right away: In fact I am spending almost as much myself – and I can not think of a reason not to get LignUp Stamp Search. I know people that are dropping over $300 on stamp catalogues and various tools per year. With the price these guys are charging for the app – it becomes a must have tool in any stamp collector’s arsenal. LignUp Stamp Search currently has over 450K stamp images in its’ database and the number grows evrytime.

Together with the stamp name you get the stamp’s sales listings so you can know how much your new acquisition is worth. Each time a stamp is submitted the software goes through their stamp database and pulls matches. These guys run servers that scan all major stamp sources and use cutting-edge image detection technology.

I loved the product so much that I asked how exactly it worked – and was happy to find out that it’s a proprietary know-how they developed.

In fact, the first night I tried it I literally flooded the developers’ inbox with e-mails. It’s also ridiculously cheap: only $19.95 - a big difference between a bulky hundred-something dollar catalogues and a small app that does the same. This little tool has been one of the most useful and stress-saving software products I have ever bought. After about 30 seconds I see my new stamp listed on all major stamp-related sites and even e-Bay! Stamp Search also finds all the info about the stamp: catalogue number, issue year and current auction price! I then place the image file into LignUp Stamp Identification software and hit “Search”. Whenever I get a new stamp I am scanning it with my scanner or taking a close photo of it.
