CH - used postage stamps

Mark7799

Not sure if anyone can help on this but I've recently taken on some freelance work which has increased my post drastically. Are there charities that collect used stamps and what would they want with them? I get in the region of 150-200 letters per week, the majority are bog standard 1st/2nd class stamps but I don't mind saving them if they can go to good use elsewhere but I don't know who would want them.

Any ideas gratefully appreciated

Hi, I read a post on here a few months ago about saving stamps for guide dogs for the blind. I have also been saving them and am about to send them off to:
GUIDE DOG STAMPS
PO BOX 139
SLOUGH
BERKSHIRE

How do they make money out of them, thats my question.

There is a thread on the Charities board about this, I think there are other places that will accept them as well - possibly Help the Aged shops? In Bristol DH's charity accepts them.

They make money by sending them off to stamp dealers. Incredible but true, there are people prepared to pay money for them!
