I'm always happy to buy recent unpicked charity (UK or World) up to any amount. I pay £4 for GB, £10 for World (Per kilogram)

Happy to set up regular contract and also to collect larger amounts within about a 100 mile radius of Bristol.

Cash paid.

Can provide references. I sell direct to collectors so can offer more than most others. MUST be unpicked and unsorted in any way!

Please see my blog at [url]http://kilowarecentral.blogspot.com/[/url]

Hi,

I am a private collector and willing to pay £3.00 per kilo for any stamps either GB or foreign.

All the best,
Martin

I am looking to obtain large amount of stamps from charities in order to raise money for st thomas lupus trust.

can anyone point me in the right direction, i have contacted about 30 charities but most of them can't even be bothered to reply.

thanks[/quote]

Philip, how do you intend to raise money from this exercise ?

Most charities are contracted to sell their stamps direct to wholesalers, and as such will not have any spare

I buy most of my material this way

If you are going to buy at wholesale rates then sell at retail, you could make a profit, but you will need to sell an awful lot to make any substantial funds

You are probably best , asking your members to start accumulating their stamps. You will be surprised how quickly this will esculate, especially if they advise their friends etc etc etc.

If you have a newsletter that goes out to your members, be sure to advertsise that you are collecting.

Trust this helps, but if you need any further info email me direct ( [email]david@dha-ltd.co.uk[/email])

David

How much are you willing to pay? Our charity has started collecting stamps but as yet we haven't tried to sell any. The stamps are a mixture of everything donated to us and they haven't been picked over at all. I was considering offering them for sale through our local paper as unpicked charity kiloware.

actually I will happily pay £2.75 per kilo and donate to any charity

In case anyone has stamps to sell you can list them on ebay. I sold our 4kg of mixed stamps for £20 wich was a good price. I shan't be collecting them again as it took too long to cut them all off the envelopes and the time could have been better spent doing something else. Oh well, the charity now has £20 that it wouldn't have had otherwise.

[quote][Hi my name is Kay and i belong to 2 pen pal clubs and we are looking for a charity to take our used stamps at the moment i have about 3000 and i was wondering whether you would like them.
Usually i swap them for stickers of any kind but you want to pay for them then that is fine by me
please let me know as soon as possible
thank you from Kay Clarke[/quote]
Hi Kay
if you still have the stamps i am interested.
unfortunately i would not be able to pay for them as we are
a registered charity. Marilyn

There's always eBay.

I have 4kg of kiloware which has been collected for our charity. It's completely unpicked. Some of it is on double paper but a lot of it is close clipped. It's mostly GB but there are a lot of foreign as well. Would anyone like to purchase this? I live in Cornwall if you want to collect it or I can post it otherwise.

This question has come up quite a few times on this forum.

Have a look at the thread at

[url]http://www.fundraising.co.uk/forum/thread.php?id=2584#6536[/url]

which includes links to other posts where I answered this question, based on my own experience.

Can anyone give me some advice on how to raise money through collecting stamps, even postcards and foreign money. I hear people saying that they are collecting for a charity, what I want to know is what happens to the stamps once the charity has them. Who do they sell the stamps on to?

I know that you have to collect an awful lot, but every little helps.

Hello, I am now able to pay £3.50 per kilo of used stamps. There is no need to sort the stamps, just e-mail me and let me know how much you have in weight, the more you have the better, as the postage costs are cheaper. I will refund all postage costs as well so there are no costs to yourselves. Drop me an e-mail to discuss this further. [email]info@bristolstamps.co.uk[/email]Thanks....John

How much are you willing to pay? Our charity has started collecting stamps but as yet we haven't tried to sell any.

I'm a little unclear as to what sort of charity you're approaching. Even if they have a surplus of stamps, which seems an odd thing for a charity to have, if their charitable objects don't include lupus I can quite see why they mightn't want to incur the cost of replying, and if they do include lupus, I expect they believe they can use the money from the stamps more effectively by hanging onto them than by giving them to another organisation. I can't help thinking that "the right direction" is probably diametrically opposed to a big stamp fundraising drive...

I wonder if that's because those charities that collect donated stamps were hoping to raise money from them themselves? Perhaps if you offered to share the proceeds with the charities they might be more responsive?

That said, given how hard it is to raise significant sums from stamps, you'd have hoped that some of those charities would have been happy to see their sacks of stamps being turned into cash for charity, albeit not their own.
