Hi

this thread has just answered my prayers, we have been collecting stamps at work for a age, most are cut and some are sorted but would love to send them on. however with the qty I would like to help the guy who has to sort them, do you have a email, tel number that i could contact him to see what i can do in way of sorting them into so far I have which i got a website which advised this was how to make the most money out of them is

UK Stamps definitive all denominations ( I see from the thread that they like these sorted so that can be tonights job)
UK Special issue
UK Christmas Issue
Foreign

Very excited about the potential money we may be able to raise!

Thanks

Hi katie,

I am afraid we dont have a contact number or email for Mr Rapley.

I always just sort them into piles accordingly and then send them off.

can the hmsa still use used stamps to raise money please?

i have just started on a new project - and will probably (hopefully) get quite a lot of mail as a result) if the stamps can be of use to the charity - then i will gladly save them up and send them on - once every few months or so

As far as i know we're still collecting them - I sent off a pack a month ago and have another pack to send off soon

DOnt forget stamps from outside of the UK cost more. I friend once told me a regular 1st clas and 2nd class cost 0.5p as they are used sooo much.

I've got another bag full for stamps mounting up. I still get given lots from a local community support office where I used to live. It's handy that my dad can collect them for me!

I've had a letter from the chap who converts the stamps as I have Nottinghamshire Girl Guides county collecting the stamps and a few questions have croped up.

The Gold 1st and the Blue 2nd class stamps and the winter set that are like stickers they do NOT have any significant value.
International, large value and special collection 1st & 2nd are the only ones that will collect money.

So is it not worth sending him the gold and blue little ones??

[Jess]

I send t-bag boxes full and he has said the amount I send doesnt add up to the postage used to post them. So it is abit pointless to send thee regular ones, but the square ones that are 1st and 2nd are worth it as there isnt as many made.

[cavemonster]

I see
Thanks for the clarification

I've often wondered about that myself so that's really useful - thank you!
