Stamps advice please.

I have just cleared a cupboard and found a box file full to the brim with packs of GB stamps, commemorative and otherwise, MNH.

Sooooo annoyed with OH who forgot they were there.

Must be hundreds of pounds worth.

So, learned stamp sellers, what to do with them - obviously too late to trade them in and very few Xmas commemoratives which can still be used.

You can still use all 1st class and 2nd class commemoratives, not just Christmas. You could sell others to a stamp seller on Ebid, but they probably wouldn't want more than a few of each stamps because they sell slowly.

Thanks, Bill. Looking at the prices they are fetching on other side i.e. £1.50 per set including postage, I think I would be better of just splitting them to make up postage on other sales. I am so annoyed, because there are umpteen packs of GB definitives which were purchased from PO Philatelic Bureau and now too late to use or trade in.

How infuriating!

You should separate out the definitive packs, Royal Mail still do stamp swap at face values for those stamps.

Thank you so much robbielowe - I had no idea this was still valid. You may have saved me a fortune (and my husband's neck).
