Today, postage stamps are practically not used to send letters; they are most often bought to create a collection. If you also decided to do philately and collect your collection, you are probably wondering where you can buy postage stamps.
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, go to the neighboring post offices. The stamps bought there will not have much value, but they may well complement and decorate the collection; very interesting specimens are often found in post offices. It is quite possible that many years from now, a stamp bought at the post office will become the pearl of your collection.
Step 2
If there is a philatelic shop in your city, be sure to visit it. As a rule, such shops are organized on the basis of post offices, where you can not only see the image of the stamp (as, for example, in online stores), but also see the stamp “live”, check and even touch it. To be sure of the quality and authenticity of the brand, buy them in stores operating under the auspices of the Ministry of Communications of the Russian Federation.
Step 3
Look for brands in online store catalogs. As a rule, you can find a variety of options there, brands are classified in a convenient way for you: by year, by country, by series, by price. Choose trusted stores with a good reputation and reviews. Copies will be mailed to you after prepayment via electronic payment or postal order.
Step 4
If you need specific types of stamps, for example, a certain series or topic, register on the philatelic forum and create an appropriate topic. Here you will find fellow hobbyists and can not only buy and sell stamps, but also chat on interesting topics.
Step 5
To purchase rare and valuable stamps, browse the relevant topics on classified sites. Here you can buy not only individual pieces, but entire collections at the most affordable price.
Step 6
Please note that from time to time philatelic clubs organize auctions where you can buy stamps that interest you. It is even more convenient to visit online auctions without leaving your home; you can often buy rare and valuable items there.
