Hi
Did anyone have any luck in trying to sell their stamps back to the post office?

I have loads of them now and if i live to be 100, i doubt i'd use them all.
I asked at my PO but they said they don't buy them back, but i thought i'd read on here that they will but with a % deduction.

Why don't you use them to enter the postal competitions?

I've tried that:D , but most competitions seem to be on-line or phone ins now.

I use quite a few of them, but still have loads.

I recently joined this and got the intro pack last week. Only problem is that is specifies day and times stuff must be posted and I could not get to a postbox or post office when specified.

I don't think I've ever managed to stick to the times and places they've asked me to do. I've just posted at whichever of my nominated boxes was the closest at a time I was able to get there. They haven't complained about it yet!

OK, I was starting to think that I was the only one getting a boring one: "Motor Transport", but "Trout & Salmon" doesn't sound very exciting!

I have been doing royal mail survey for a couple of months and just got my first magazines. I ripped it open eagerly for something nice and lighthearted to read with my lunch - I got 2 medical journals: Archives of disease in childhood and the Fetal & Neonatal edition. :rolleyes: :rotfl:

Hi there

i am wondering if any one would like to donate any of theirs Stamps as we can use to help to pay for our parcels we send to the hospitals, We send knitted and crocheted items to Special Care Baby Units for the babies and also the babies that sadly don't make it.

Mine come in handy at Christmas to post my cards, or if you have a parcel you can use them. Have a look on the Postal, Supermarket & Magazine Comp thread. I never thought I'd use all mine to begin with but I do now. Oh and I usually give 6 of them to my Mom as whenever she visits I get a goody bag from her
