Valuation / Price Guidance:

From comparable listings:

A listing on HipStamp for “Kuwait World Telecom Day 80 fils … MNH” is priced at about US $1.05

In a UK listing, the seller placed a “pound price” of ~£0.60 plus postage for a similar stamp

Some references mention minor design-error variants (e.g. mis-caption) in Kuwaiti stamps, which may fetch a premium in some cases

Given these, a reasonable base valuation might lie in the range £0.50 to £2.00, depending heavily on condition, rarity, demand, and whether it is certified or a variant.

Recommended Listing Price (Buy It Now):

£1.25

This gives some margin over your baseline, while being attractive to buyers. If condition is particularly good or it's a scarce variety, you might push higher (e.g. £2–£3).

Auction Option:

Yes — set a low starting bid to attract interest. For example: Start at £0.50, with a reserve (or no reserve) depending on your comfort. Or start at £0.75 to ensure you don’t undersell drastically.

Other Listing Tips / Notes:

Include high-resolution scans/photos of the front and back (gumming side), and enlarge the perforation edges and any flaws.

Mention any imperfections (e.g. slight hinge mark, gum toning, centering).

If it matches a known catalog number (Scott, Stanley Gibbons, etc.), include that in the description or title (e.g. “Scott # ___ / SG ___”).
