As long as stamps indicate the class not the cost, they remain valid
They're still valid with the cost. You just need more of them, like five of the 1980 ones, four of the 1982 ones, etc. :Very Happy
you say here they are valid then you say not necessially after make your mind up :Boo hoo!

I've no need to make my mind up Fordy. :shock:
I have said that 1980 (10p) and 1982 (12½p) Christmas stamps are valid, as are all stamps from 1971 onwards, these being in decimal currency (1p), not the old money (1d), but what I have NOT said is that post-1971 decimal stamps "will allways be valid" :shock: - look what happened to our Colleague Shares :shock: .

It has nothing to do with Royal Mail management bullying tactics and everything to do with HMRC.
The stamps are not for resale unless you want to pay tax on the resale value.
Yep, but save for someone going out of their way to grass someone up, I don't think that HMRC have the time or funds to go chasing up people for £25 worth of stamps sold on eBay.
You seriously think the managers aren't trawling ebay and wouldn't think twice about reporting them to their boss and the HMRC :nervous
They don't have to trawl Ebay as they're on HERE reading everything we all put and in some instances making their jobs even EASIER :crazy:
Agree, there's a lot of 'self-reporting' on here, which will help the management out a lot. People do need to be careful what they write but quite often aren't!

Bare in mind then the mindset of some of the management we have.
And last but not least,bare in mind it's 30 f***ing quid for a possible 60 f***ing quid or whatever the dole pays now for god knows how long.
Sorry, grammar police alert but being pedantic it's "bear in mind" not "bare in mind".

Everything's bare in DGP's mind.
Postman's mind is pretty bare.
I've never really thought about bears much. :neutral:

probably their date of birth in their username which gives it away as val from cleveland who is 56 years old. Still , there are collectors out there who like philately , good luck to her. As for managers, they have nothing to do between 9 and 2 except play with their pc's which are now no different than home pc's except they are hooked up to the intranet.
Why are lino's paid full-time ??

Yes, all British stamps denominated in the decimal version of UK sterling, and possibly the £1 value before 1971. :Very Happy
