I know when you buy kilo ware 99% of the stamps are used and abused. Is there such a place where a stamp collector can go and buy a philatelic lot of unused stamps? I know if you are interested in the oldest stamps of a country you are going to find almost everything is used and depending on condition that is okay.
Is there a dealer or company that sells clean unused stamps and stamps that are from postally know countries? Not dunes or some country no one has ever heard of but would make a nice addition to a collection and actually add value and not be a waste of time digging through a pile of junk. I tried once and the person sent literally 275 of the same US stamp. Never responded to my request to send the mess back.
If there is such a company or dealer offering such a thing I would really appreciate being made aware of such an opportunity.

The philatelic journals here in UK have several adverts for companies who buy in mint stamps in bulk for postage use. I see buying prices for all major European countries, GB , Australia , Canada so these guys must also sell on stamps in quantity
I have frequently bought mixed lots of GB , £100 face value for 60% in the past. I am sure the stamps of other countries are similarly available .

I buy mint Japanese stamps frequently from Yahoo! Japan Auction through a proxy. As it's a rather expansive way of acquiring stamps, I tend to eye on large lot of stamps sold at a price that is smaller than the sum of the facial values. I do get good deal every now and then. Here is an example of such a lot.
