I just read that Habitat for Humanity is looking for used postage stamps. Anyone know what they do with them?
They have volunteers who soak the stamps loose, dry them and sort them to sale to collectors. That is what I read on the website for Habitat.
Oh ok. So I guess the ones we get in the mail everyday would be about useless? There are so many of them I can't imagine a collector would have to buy them.
I'm imagining, Danielsmom, that even the most common ones MIGHT be useful. My ds when he was younger, would buy packages of stamps (ostensibly to collect, but collecting them from the floor was the LAST thing he wanted to do with them!), but while some were pretty and from other countries and such, there were a fair amount of common ones too -- just to fill up the packages that promised a certain number of stamps with no promises about how valuable or collectible or pretty they might be.
