Used stamps wanted

I have just 3 trades of mixed easy seeds in return for USED stamps. 200+ seeds in each packet. The mix is to include, poppies, foxglove 'Giant Spotted'parents, white datura and various annuals, biennials and perennials. I will be happy to supply a list of whats in the mix if you want to know.

If there is enough interest, I may be able to stretch to a couple more trades than stated.

Nope I'm not a stamp collector, they are to be sent to the Guide Dogs for the Blind as they manage to make money out of them.

Please no new stamps just used.

count me in. how many stamps would you feel is a fair trade?

Hey Baa, what kind of stamps... anything.....? I can save them for you from the work mail if anything will work... no trade necesary this is a good cause.Most of our mail it metered but have several aday thats just normal stamps.... lmk know details of what you need be glad to help out.

Tig

Entirely up to you....I can't ask for a specified amount because I may be stung if I ask for too many. Or someone may promise too much and can't keep up their end of the deal and both myself and the charity lose out.

Whatever you feel is fair.

Baa

Any stamps will do as long as they have the post office marks on them. I'm also prepared to wait for a couple of weeks to enable people to collect what they think is fair if they don't already save stamps.

Mystic its very kind of you to offer for no trade, I would feel happier if I could send something on though as thanks for the time and effort.

I don't think I still have your addy, if you'll send it on, I'll get them out.

count me in. send me an addy. I will send them to you and you keep my trade for someone else to get.
Janet

hey BAA do you have a time limit that you need them by . I can start saving tomorrow..... but when do you need them by?Or can I just keep saving them for you :) ?

Baa, I have quite a few on boxes on the back porch....send me your addy again.
God Bless you my friend, and that comes from the bottom of a retired Optician's
heart!!!

"eyes"

Baa,

I will be glad to send you what I have... what a great cause... and would you want me to continue to save them for you and send them??

Nina

I am new to this forum, if you send me your addy I will send you stamps also, I don't collect them but I will help out with this. Let me know your drop dead date you need them by and I will get them mailed out to you.

Debbie (WaterlooLily)

Count me in as well, send me your address and they are yours. Thanks Mike

Let me know if this is an ongoing project for Guide Dogs for the Blind, as I can save stamps through the year. (Just donated duplicate recent US cancelled ones to Garden Club rummage sale about a month ago.) I get quite a few bulk mail US stamps, occasionally US commeratives or Canadian ones.
In answer to previous poster's question, usually Canadian stamps are cancelled, though sometimes the cancellation ink is fainter than usual.
If you know anyone who works at California School for the Deaf in Riverside CA, ask them what they do with the cancelled stamps on the videos they lend to Deaf/HOH through US mail. (They pay postage both ways.)

My Goodness what a response for such kind and generous people. THANK YOU ALL!

The stamps have no deadlines and other charities also use them. Maybe there are some in your country too.

My idea was to get seeds out to people who maybe didn't have any trades or just wanted some fillers and show that you can always trade somthing for a good cause.

Thanks again for your support in this, I will mail you all seperately. I can see we are going to keep the post office busy!

i have emailed you directly..sandy

i'll get in on this send me you address

Could Brasilian stamps be added to your donation??
Let me know and as of today I will be collecting them.

I have a baggy full of stamps- now I know why I began collecting them! Please send me your address and I will get them right off to you and God Bless you for this!

Hi Baa,

Gwist

Baa,

Hi Baa

Thanks for the address they went out in the mail today.
Mike

Hi All

As it turns out I have more seeds than I thought so if anyone still wants a packet in trade for stamps please let me know.

Everyone who has answered has been so kind and supportive, I have to admit I wasn't sure that I would get a good reception on this let alone a great one. Thank you all!

Mike

Thats great! Thanks a lot and I'll let you know when they arrive.

I've been checking out other charities too and have found one or two who accept interesting things which wouldn't normally be recycled. I will be doing this again for another charity in a month or two with different seeds. If this rain dries up! :)

Blessings to you all

Baa

Baa,

Please send us some of your rain, it is so dry here it is unbelievable. We live in the bush with only one road into our small community. Three days ago careless blueberry pickers started a forest fire less than a mile away. If the water plane hadn't been flying home from another fire and seen the smoke our community would not be here today. We are praying for rain right now. So please send it this way.
Trailingon

Baa,
would be happy to send some used stamps your way. no seeds necessary!

i'll get collecting and you e-mail me your address, okay?

Baa,count me in,such a great cause''Thanks for asking us''

No need to send seeds but thanks for offering,just love helping others'''Send your addy soon'''Sis'

Baa, email me your address & I will also start saving stamps. I have a few friends who I can talk into letting me have their stamps also. Yes, please let us know what is going to be recycled next. I enjoy doing things like this for people who are in need of help.
Jean

Hi Baa, I'd like to trade you stamps for seeds. My son is in a special kindergarten for handicapped kids and they need flowers for their garden. The only potential problem would
be the foxglove and datura. I seem to remember they're
poisonous if eaten. Please e-mail with how many stamps
you're looking for and if you can take european stamps.

Thanks and what a great cause! I'd like to send you my stamps even if I don't have enough for the seeds.

If I could sell rain I'd be a multi-millionaire! We get it free but its disposable rain so can only be used once and doesn't travel well, even if it does seem a little wasteful ;)

If I ever do find a way of sending rain clouds, be assured you will be at the top of my list LOL

Gratis of course!

Baa

I will trade. I have or used to collect and i have some from all over! Germany alot of old ones. Let me know if you have enough seeds and send me an address!

I would like to be included as well.
Please send me your address.

Thanks for the info Baa and already getting much help here,with friends/neighbors'''Sis'

Thats wonderful! Thanks Sis.

Baa

Please send my your address and I will save them for you.
Ruth

I still have two trades left for stamps if anyone is interested.

Dear Baa
Would love to save stamps for you and the good doggies who help people. Will e-mail directly to you.

SandyR

Just for your very kind messages, and to cover your seeds packet, a very special full set, with its official brochure in the letter, will be despatched tomorrow. Do not send me a seed mix, I am mixed up enough in this seed world...

Dimitri

Dimitri

You are a wonderful, kind and sweet gentleman. Thank you!

Everyone has been emailed and stamps have started to come in (I've emailed those who I've received stamps from so far), I hope those of you who sent me your addresses are starting to get the seeds. If you haven't yet recevied an email please let me know just so I don't miss anyone.

Baa,

Please mail me an address. I have masses of English, Welsh and Channel Island stamps, plus a few from "overseas". No trade needed; just make me a promise that if you ever come across a source for any of the items on my WANTED list you will let me know. (Check out my page)

El Tel

Baa,
Count me in too. I don't need seeds right now. Where do you want me to send them. I probably have 30+ stamps form all my trades. My e-mail address is ajr11698@yahoo.com.
