A stamp club or show/meet is probably your best bet.

Most dealers that I have been to SELL post-1940 stamps at FACE VALUE!
That means that they had to have bought them for LESS than face.
And the ones I have talked to pretty much admit it. Which means the
seller would have been better off using the stamps for franking.

One dealer I go to has them in a big box for sale to local businesses
as postage. He will even give a HEALTHY discount below face to buyers
that spend more than 'x' amount of dollars for franking use. He says
if he doesn't sell them for less than face, businesses won't buy them
because at face, it is easier to use modern stamps, rather than the
work involved in adding multiple stamps together to make first class postage.

So, one could put their email address in the thread with penalty if they have something to sell? Once they hit 50 quality posts?

The point would be that your email is available to us; and you can access everyone's when you've over the magic 50. Go to My SCF, and SCF members.
