I found two old stamp collectingbooks and alot of loose stamps and there are probally over 300 stamps. From early 1900's to the 70's. Plus some from other countries that are in the book. Know nothing about them and just want to sell lot as a whole. I looked up some of them on ebay and they sell fro $.99 to $8.00 I stoped looking them up as I got tired. They are mostly used but some are not stamped. Can you sell something like this as a whole? Like maybe $75.00 for all of them? Where do you do that if so?

Welcome donnasue. You can't really rely on the prices on ebay, as they tend to vary wildly, and don't always represent the true value of the stamps.
That said, you collection as a whole is probably not worth a lot (odds are).
You could try selling them yourself on ebay, either individually or in groups, but if you're not really interested, that could take a lot of time and you may not get a lot for them.
You could try taking them to a local dealer and he may give you a few bucks. You could also take them to a local stamp club, if there is one and see what they say. Someone may be able to evaluate them or even be interested in purchasing them. (These are only possibilities of course. I'm only spit balling here.)
The other option is that you could keep them and enjoy them yourself. Most of us here collect for the pleasure of it, and monetary value is often (though not always) an after thought.
If you stick around long enough here on SCF (over 50 posts) you could even try to sell them here.
We always like to see pictures, if you were so inclined.
