    It's worth doing if:

    a) you can sell them on without having to incur any extra fees;
    b) you run a business, but don't use a franking service - 1st class franked mail is "only" going up to 44p;
    c) you send a lot of letters or sell a lot of stuff on ebay;
    d) you're going to play a very long game - and sell them once everyone elses stocks have dried up.

    Nearly everyone else with a basic grasp of maths has probably had the same idea, and I'm sure there's been a lot of "panic" buying. So I'd doubt there'd be a lot of immediate demand.

    It made me realise that I use hardly any stamps now except at Christmas and I think that more and more people will send less seasonal cards than in the past.

    I agree, especially at these prices - I think I'll give up sending Xmas cards at all!
