Thanks so much for all the valuable and interesting information posted here. I don't know anything about stamps by have been fascinated by the conversations. Like many others I have inherited a stamp collection from my Father and his Father (which I'm now realising is very small and probably very worthless) and found you by googling "how much is my stamp collection worth". Just wanted to say thanks so much as I feel quite well informed now about what the next steps are if I want to sell or give away the collection.

If we lived in world 20-30 years ago, the location would have had much difference when valuing a collection. But these days it's very little of importance as everything you need is just one mouse click away. The whole world is one huge marketplace. If you want to find out the value yourself, get yourself some stamp catalogs. You can easily buy them from catalog publishers (each have online shops) or used copies from online auctions; or you can even subscribe to some online catalogs. If you want to reach out dealers and professional appraisers to do it for You, then Google Places is Your friend. Simply write something like "Stamp dealer Singapore", and you are offered with a map of local dealers with full contact details. Could not be any easier. @Randy… If we lived in world 20-30 years ago, the location would have had much difference when valuing a collection.

For starters, I suggest you spent some time reading some of the answers above, or head to <a href="http://www.stampcollectingblog.com/topic/qa" rel="nofollow">Ask Anything About Stamps - archives</a> (there are lots of similar "I inherited a collection, how to find out it's value" questions/answers) . These have lots of good and solid advice for you to follow. I also took the liberty of editing your message a bit. It's good practise to use sentence case instead of WRITING EVERYTHING WITH CAPITALS. @Pierre… For starters, I suggest you spent some time reading some of the answers above, or head to Ask Anything About Stamps – archives (there are lots of similar “I inherited a collection, how to find out it’s value” questions/answers) .
