So as a newish member , I've been sorting and trying to create some order in my collection. I created my own pages with AlbumEasy and I am filling them. I am finding I have lots of used stamps left over.
I've been tying them in small bundles. Now the next question, what to do with them....
I started looking at ebay and I can sell them but at 5cents each I dont think that is the best use of my time if it takes me an hour to get it scanned and listed.
Has anyone figured out how to make used stamps available to other collectors without having to spend so much time..... my guess is join a club , unfortunately there are no clubs where i live.
Anyone found a good place to do trading online? I doubt I will ever get to "50 quality posts to participate" in the one here...

you're almost 20% of the way to 50!! I thought it would be impossible when I fisrt joined.... now I'm approachin g 2000 posts!
Comment when you can and ask a lot of questions. If it perrtains to a stamp you have, a scan will typically get more responses!

I know of the following exchange clubs. AFSEC - Armed Forces Stamp Exchange Club (open to anyone) afsecstampclub.org/Armed_Forces_Stamp_Exchange_Club/Welcome.html - Catalog Value (CV) exchanges - This one has an annual membership fee, and takes 10% of CV submitted for running the exchange. You send in your stamps for exchange and they send it on to their members. Members select what they want and send the rest back. A running total is kept of the CV of stamps submitted, less fee, less CV for stamps taken by you, less CV of return of unwanted material. Must maintain $150 CV in your account to receive material. 100 Stamps Club (they have options to do 25 or 50 stamps) 100stamps.club - No fees - blind exchanges Neither club wants you to submit too much common material. |

I rarely post on here, and it didn't me long to reach 50... And I wouldn't bother selling stamps for a few cents on eBay or wherever - takes just as much time to list a stamp for 10 cents as for $10...
