Cost of Some Machine Stamps Exceeds Rate ... Origin of the devices is not known ...
Selling Stamps for Profit Legal, and a Headache
Local residents may find that stamps from certain machines in town will not receive the exact amount of stamps for the coins they put into their pockets.
Several stamp machines at establishments in Lawrence charge seven cents over the face value of the stamps.
In one machine 25 cents is charged either for two eight-cent stamps and one two-cent stamp, or three six-cent stamps.
"Those machines are privately owned," Rake said. "In government machines you always get the right amount of stamps and change."
"The law says that we must sell them at face value and there isn't a law saying what anybody else can do with them."
Bill Miller, customer service representative for the Topake U.S. Post Office said, "Once they've been purchased, the stamps don't belong to Uncle Bill." They belong to the customers.
A Ramada Inn employee said the Ramada Inn made no money off the stamp machine placed in its lobby.
A check in the Topeka-LaWrence-Kansas area gasave no clues as to the origins of the vending machines. Manufacturers and distributors of vending machines did not deal in starmachines
McMahon said the Krogers sam's app selling the Topeka vending machine company. An employee of that company said it did not have any ties to the disguise.
Postal authorities in these areas said they did not know of any such vending machine companies.
