#1 How big is your potential market? It's people still mailing things from home, who haven't figured out how to do postage on their computer.
#2 Of the population in #1, it's those who find real stamps so expensive that it's worth bothering with discounts.
#3 Of the population in #2, it's those who would want to buy something fraudulant (or not know better) and who would want to risk using it.
#4 Considering the size of the #3 population, how many stamps do they use in a month?
#5 What is your margin on a half-price stamp? You have to pay for advertising, printing (we're talking a profit margin under $1), packaging, and your own time, but at least shipping is free!
How can those few people - and again narrowed down to the population mailing letters AND needing stamps AND seeking discounts AND willing or ignorant enough to do/risk fraud - with that little revenue per item, make a half-price stamp operation worthwhile?
The Venn diagram of old people with limited mobility (can't just drive to the post office or grocery store) and on a fixed income (they crave those discounts) is nearly a perfect circle of the people that fall for internet scams (fails to understand that literally anyone can make a shopify store and accept card payments).
