Are unused stamps worth anything?

Finding out if your unused stamps worth anything can easily be done. If they are unused, then they have postage value. This means that they hold value that can be used for mailing services. However, this also means they have cash value.

Where to sell your stamps

Because unused stamps have postage value, this means that people are will buy them from you — at a discount of course. For example, if you have $50 of postage value, anyone would jump on the opportunity to give you $40 for your stamps. If they purchased them at the Post Office, they would have to pay the full postage value. Unfortunately, the Post Office never has promotional sales.

The best way to see if your stamps are worth anything is to check with a stamp buying service like Sell Unused Stamps. They purchase unused stamps from leftover mailing campaigns, wedding invitations, and stamp collections.

They offer cash for unused postage stamps, and have no limits on how much they can buy. Turnaround is typically fast. Plus, because they post their buying rates on their website, you’ll know exactly how much money you’ll get for your stamps.

Determining stamp values

Finding out if your unused stamps are worth anything is fairly simple. They are generally worth face value. This means they are worth the postage value seen in the stamp design. For older stamps, you will see a numeric denomination value on the stamp. For example, a stamp from 1980 will have 20¢ printed on it.

However, many newer stamps do not have numerical values on them. Instead, they say “Forever”. This means they are always worth the First-Class letter rate. You can use these stamps to mail items through the United States Postal Service. Postage stamps can be used to pay for nearly all mailing services provided by the Post Office. Shipping, insurance, and tracking services can all be paid by applying the correct amount of postage stamps on the package.
