I belong to St Michael's Church in Handsworth in Birmingham U.K and i'm a Sunday School teacher and we are trying to raise funds for our church so we can put back the under floor heating. We need to raise roughly £75- £100.000 and I was wondering whether anyone knew of a place were we could sell our used stamps as they are mounting up and I don't know where to send them or sell them. Please Help me if you can. From Kay Clarke

Hi, Kay
I think your best bet is to find a local stamp dealer and talk to them. There are bulk dealers about, and they tend to have specific requirements as to the size and bundling.
If you have a pool of willing volunteers, they may be able to sort the definitives (boring stamps) from the others, and your local dealer may pay more for those - one good stamp will pay more than several kilos of definitives!
Last time I looked into this (several years ago) it was an awful lot of trouble for not a lot of money. On the other hand, if you have a significant number of enthusiastic volunteers it may work for you.
There's also the possibility that, in the current climate, stamps may be gaining value as an investment vehicle!
Cheers
