Will there be a stamp increase in price this year ?

With simple delivery being mandatory from 15th April, the RM price rise is now almost irrelevant- except for business sellers who use standard RM post.

However, just bumping to remind people RM postage goes up on 7th March

I've posted on the Simple Delivery thread about this but suspect it will get lost in the discussions.
I bought lots of large letter second class stamps a few years ago purely for ebay use. If I can't make enough sales before 15th April any ideas where I can sell using stamps? Or anything else I can do with the stamps given that I only post a few Greetings cards a year?
Thanks

Nowhere at all with give you anything like face value for them - have a scroll back through this thread for some examples. If you did sell any on ebay, remember the cheapest postage option going forward will now be £2.70.

I still have hundreds of pounds worth collected over the years , I actually get excited if a family member or friend has a bit party or an event and talks about sending out invites- as I can give some away. This bulk load of mine will definitely outlive me though!

Yes my stamps will become part of my son inheritance I suspect!
Not that he'll use them - I still remember his confusion when asked to post something as a student, no idea where to buy stamps or how much they cost. I thought I'd failed as a parent but his generation do everything online - even returns just need a QR code.
Another day that's made me feel old!
