any postage stamp collectors out there?

Hi,

I have just inherited loads of old and used postage stamps ranging from early 1900's to the 1980's-ish. Most of them seem to be sorted into their relevant country. How do I go about finding out if any of them are valuable-either individually or as a collection???? Know of any good websites that would help me?

There are plenty of websites just search for stamp collecting or philately and take your pick.
Without seing the actual stamps and judging their condition and the nature and range of the collection it will be impossible to give an indication of value.
If you don't want to take up the hobby and spend hours of time in a library or on the web doing research I suggest you visit a local dealer (or two) who will usually give you a quick appraisal of value.
Don't be fooled by catalogue prices either as most 'run of the mill' stamps sell for considerably less than they indicate - have a look on eBay for stamp lots or collections and you will see what I mean.
If you want to PM specific questions I'll try and help if I can
