Can I exchange stamps for cash?

[Rookie]

Just a quick one: If I had a load of First Class stamps, could I go to the Post Office and trade them in for cash? I've looked on Google, but nothing specific has popped up.

Dunno about going into the post office and changing them, they might be abit suspicous if you had loads.

But I know stamps are legal tender.

All you can do is go in and ask if they'll allow exchange?

Well, I do know that postal orders come in multiples of five pounds and if you wanted to send someone say £12.50 you'd buy a £10 postal order and stick £2.50 worth of stamps on it. You can redeem this for cash at the PO or pay it into your bank like a cheque.

Wasn't really suggesting you did that, just that it implies they have a redeemable cash value.

The question is, why do you have so many?

Nah, it's an eBay auction. I was watching The Office earlier, when they're talking about stamps being legal tender. It occurred to me that if I could find someone on eBay selling off a load of stamps who didn't know you could cash them in, I could make an easy few quid. So I looked and there's one auction, so I put in a decent bid. If it turns out I can't cash them in, I'll either resell them or have enough stamps for a decade.

Why don't you just exchange stamps for sex? You could stick them to your willy and deliver a royal shafting.

Rookie, if you do ask the post office can you let us know the answer. Just so I know for the future.

Also as soon as I opened the thread and started to read your first post I was also thinking of the office scene, try using them on busses

I guess the speed of the internet isn't quite that good, and the signal's only just reached New Zealand after 6 years.
