GlenStephensReviews 47

Glen Stephens AKA 'The Sheriff' or 'Global Admin' on his Stampboards site is a truly awful individual. He uses his forum to post derogatory comments to innocent forum members. He is a narcissist and a bully. He is arrogant and derisory and I would advise ANYBODY even considering doing business with this man to take your money elsewhere. He will edit your profile, edit your posts, and refuse to delete personal information. He is a bully, and has no place in the stamp community. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

- Editing/deleting the post of others for his own interests. If he purchased from other members at a low cost, he would delete the ad and add 80% to 100% and re-post it as an offer to the stampboard members. Hmmmmm good business model indeed
- Whenever you send a message to other stampboard member, it reaches Glen's email box first. Yes that's right, he reads every single word you've written, before forward it to the member that you want to contact. Of coz if there is anything he is unhappy with the message will never arrive.

Reached out to Glen to ask if he had any discounted stamps for our wedding invitations as we were sending quite a few and they needed to be large letter postage. Glen was kind enough to send me special occasion stamp booklets (even though I had only ordered regular stamps) and had them in the post extra fast. Thank you! Our guests will love it.

A braggart and a bully who thinks he knows everything when, in fact, he knows very little. You could not find worse example of humanity to do business with unless you come from the rarified higher echelons of collecting (ie - as member of the RPS or similar). Save your sanity and money by avoiding this charlatan like you would a dose of bubonic plague,

Glen is a 75 year old man who has no friends apart from a couple of fellow curmudgeons.

He edits many posts on his old-fashioned bulletin board, usually after he has acted like an old drunken jackass again

Fully agree with most reviews of this thread - should have read it before dealing with him. He has always been intentionally disguising the value of stamps as a buyer, while selling extremely high prices to Stampboard (also known as SB) members. Curious to know if SB is the abbr. For Stephens Buyers or Stamp Bunnies which Glen always used to call other stamp collectors...

Hello, I wanted to show my work in the stampboards forum and he edited the title to his liking putting things uncertain, he also edited other messages, when editing it he put a point (·) and for that reason I know that he edited more than one message, very unhappy with it, grat forum but regular admin.

This particular individual is also the owner of the Stampboard, where he is also the moderator and so-called "sheriff".
Woe betide anyone who disagrees with this egotistical narcissist who heaps abuse onto anyone who asks what he considers a stupid question - especially new members, many who are driven off after a post or two.
But what is worst about the "sheriff", is that he is not beyond editing posts that disagree with him, and changing them to look as if they are supporting his point.
As the board owner, he would be in his right to delete posts he doesn't like, but to instead edit them so as to agree with his point of view is completely unethical - this does not bode well for his business practices, he is best avoided.

I have known & purchased stamps from Glen for 40 years. He is a tough businessman, & tells it as it is. He has an excellent knowledge of all things philatelic. He is a colorful character who often offers the best deals by far in regards to purchasing stamps and accessories. What he says about auctions is true. There are fees everywhere at auction houses, whether you are a vendor or buyer. He is a master of sending mail orders, and under that tough exterior, he is really a very nice person

On Monday evening I ordered a carton of ten black-page Lighthouse stock books from Glen. They arrived just now (on Thursday morning)! They are awesome, extremely well-crafted books! Really very well double packed. And, the promptness of the delivery, truly outstanding. The price was very fair. In particular, I really loved the way Glen considerately attached the carefully franked stamps to the package (photo of stamps attached). A true gift to his customers! And, the two enclosed complimentary stamp magazines were very much appreciated. On the basis of this one dealing, I am a very big fan.

I have dealt with Glen for a number of years and am completely satisfied with the service.
I have purchased a number of collections at 1/4 to 1/3 face value which I consider a bargain, I realise the original seller would have only received half of what I payed.
I understand people are shocked when offered 10 % or at best 20% face value for their collections, but remember dealers are in business to make money.The honest dealer will resell these collections for 30 to 40% face value thus doubling their outlay. Fair, they are the ones taking the risk.
Do you think if you trade your car in on a new vehicle you will be offered anywhere near market value? NO.The same in the stamp world.
Like cars, stamps depreciate in value due to condition.Is the stamp in mint condition or used, damaged, discoloured, toned, faded, hinged, dirty, etc.
All these factors are taken into consideration when quotations are given.
My advice is if your are unhappy with the valuation you have received seek another or sell your stamps privately.

Totally a tosser...? Do not even try to comment on anything that Glen Stephens do.nt agree with. Totally self centred and edits any posts you put up to suit himself... cant believe people still deal with him. Just a vulture waiting on hiss next innocent victim. Anyone in the market to sell or value... AVOID. YOU WILL GET RIPPED OFF!

Unfortunately, my experience with this guy is similar to many others. He is a bully and megalomaniac. A few years back I bought the "latest" SG specialised catalogue and some stockbooks that were supposedly as good as lighthouse, but without the price tag. When I pointed out that the SG catalogue was in fact the previous edition and I didn't think the stockbooks were nearly as good as lighthouse he was abusive and threatened to kick me off stampboards if I didn't shut up. He also complained about me not thanking him for a few old magazines about coins (of no interest to me) and other crap he just wanted to pass onto someone else I suspect.

Not sure why the negative reviews. I have dealt with Glen over decades as buyer and seller, and made one recent return. I have not had any problems or concerns. Emails good, clear, and helpful. Website very detailed. Delivery quick. Happy to recommend him as a dealer.
