how to sell stamps?

arlea1957

Hi all I came across a large collection of stamps. several hundred (maybe more) of them they are in boxes marked indonesia, belgium, australia, holland, sweden, bulgaria italy and some unmarked. I don't do stamps nor do I really want to (I collect coins) any advice on the best way to sell them...... should I send them to someone (any volunteers) or just go fleabay...

cheers

An easy and quick disposal and still be able to maybe get something of value is to take them to a stamp AND coin shop. They may not offer much cash for them, but they should give you higher value in trade for a coin. Also letting a stamp shop look at them will give you an idea of value before putting on eBay.

I'm still in the process of liquidating a stamp collection for an in-law. He had around $4,000 cat value. I pulled out the high values to sell separately and took the rest to a stamp and coin shop. Took around $3,000 worth of cheap stuff which contained many duplicates. Shop offered me around $200 cash. I refused and asked about a trade. Was able to get $900 as a trade so I took it. These were world-wide stamps and are not worth near cat value. Also, I didn't want to spend lots of time selling on eBay which could have netted higher profits... but this was for an in-law.
