Here's another "basics" in Stamp Collecting.
-----------------
How To Get Stamps For Free

Getting stamps for free is easy and it adds "thrill" to the hobby. It is like finding a dollar bill lying on the street, waiting to be picked up. There are many ways to get stamps for free:

1) Inform everybody you know (your relatives, friends, colleagues, neighbors - everybody) that you collect stamps and ask them if they can save the stamps from their mail for you. Most people do not collect stamps and they usually throw away the stamps they get. If you ask them, they will be happy to save the stamps for you.

2) Similarly, tell everybody who writes letters to you that you collect stamps and would appreciate if they use a new or commemorative stamp when writing to you. Most people will oblige.

3) Do you sometimes send a self-addressed stamped envelope to a business or an office to get a catalog or a free sample or an application blank etc.? Well, always put a nice stamp on that envelope because it is going to come back to you.

4) Do you know anybody who has relatives or friends who live in a foreign country? Chances are that person receives letters from that country and therefore receives foreign stamps. Ask that person to save the stamps for you.

5) Is your neighbor going to vacation in Europe this summer? Is your uncle going on a business trip to Japan? Is your colleague going to attend her cousin's marriage in Mexico in the second week of July? Well, ask them to send you a postcard from that country. You will get another foreign stamp.

6) Large offices and big businesses receive hundreds of letters everyday. The person who opens the mail for these offices usually throws away hundreds of covers containing various kinds of stamps, unless her own niece has recently picked up this hobby. If you know such a person, and request the person to save the empty envelopes for you, you can amass large quantities of stamps in a short period of time.

7) International companies, import-export houses, consular offices, big hotels, university admissions offices, acquisitions department of large libraries - they all receive mail from foreign countries and many of them have stamps on them. If you know the person who handles the mail in these offices, your collection of foreign stamps can grow at a faster rate than you can imagine.

When you go the post office next time, look inside the waste paper baskets next to the P.O.Boxes. People usually collect their mail from the mail boxes, open the mail right there, and discard the covers in the nearest trash cans. A little rummaging through those trash receptacles can reward you with a philatelic jewel. (If not, at least with lots of bronze and silver). And remember, the bigger the post office, the bigger the bounty.

9) Do you have penfriends in foreign countries? If not, you can make some. Click on to an Internet site to find penfriends in foreign countries who also collect stamps. Penfriendship is a wonderful thing. Try it.

10) Have you heard about stamp swapping, or stamp trading? That is a great way of increasing the size of your collection and getting varieties. You can swap your duplicates with a freind or a fellow collector. You give him what he needs and you take from him what you need, usually one for one. But the terms are generally negotiable.

11) I must emphasize here that the easiest and fastest way to build a collection is by trading (exchanging/swapping) stamps. This is the best way of building a huge collection for pennies. In this era of Internet, finding trading partners is as easy as surfing the Net. Perhaps the best source for this is The Stamp Trader List. Another very good source is Stamp Collectors Exchange Lists. Trading is usually done on a one-for-one basis, and in packets of 25, 50, 100 or more. If you surf the web and look for stamp collecting sites, you will find that almost every collector is willing to trade. Just e-mail them and go from there.

12) Sometimes senior stamp collectors can give you, for free, some of their duplicates. At other times, for a packet of stamps they might charge you only a fraction of the price that a dealer will normally charge. Where do you meet a senior stamp collector? At a local stamp club or in a stamp show unless your grand father or great uncle is a senior stamp collector.
Older people in the family can sometimes give you stamps that were issued before you were born. Ask your grandma and grandpa if they have any old letters saved. More often than not, they will take out a bundle of letters with old stamps on them and they will be more than happy to give those stamps to their dearest grandson or granddaughter.

Use your imagination and be creative.

Free stamps are everywhere and they are all yours just for the asking.
