Carriage Labels ?

Apologies if i have broken any rules of etiquette on this forum but I have
absolutely no idea what to do about some stamps i have accquired. I have
quite a large amount of what I found are called carriage labels (singles and
sheets) from Lundy, various Scottish islands and such like.
I am not a collector but do not want to just throw them out in case they are
valuable / wanted by a collector. Could anyone tell me a good place to get
advice or maybe sell please. Thankyou

A "completed listings only" search in the eBay "Stamps" category for
each island in turn will give you an idea of what will or will not
sell.

Rick:

There are collectors of these labels that are
also known as "cinderellas". Some of the
older and scarcer ones can bring good prices.

There are also catalogues for places like Lundy
which have good followings. I'm not sure what
quantity you have or how much effort you want
to spend investigating them.

Questions on Cinderellas and ads for TRADING
are allowed here, but buy/sell ads should go to
rec.collecting.stamps.discuss ,

Finally I would refer you to the Yahoo news
group ASFE (a stamp from everywhere)
they mainly discuss cinderellas.

By the way, Where are you located?

Blair meant of course the NG:
news:rec.collecting.stamps.marketplace
for buying and selling stamps.

(by the way, the same NG is for announcing paid newsletters too, Steve...)
