From a Canadian stamp collector/dealer I'd guess?
Lots of the dealers get fairly recent stamps for under face value, and tend to use them as discount postage.
The guy I go to would get people bringing in stacks of sheets, and he'd generally offer 20% under face value unless they already had a figure in mind. Then he'd sell them to a convent near his house for 10% under face value.
It's like the junk wax era cards, people bought loads of them expecting it to be an investment.
