Contact Us
Please do not contact us if you want valuations or assistance in selling collections. We regret being unable to help but our experience is that these inquiries need to be dealt with carefully and take up a considerable amount of time. We are all volunteers and cannot take on the additional workload. We suggest a search for stamp dealers and stamp auction houses in your area.
For donations of philatelic material we suggest you contact the Brighton Philatelic Society https://brightonps.org.au/
