In my good age (I'm a grandma of two beautiful girls) I "accidently" inherited huge amount of stamps aprox. 1920-2000 from many countries - USA, Australia, UK, Europe etc. I've learned how to wash them and sorted by countries (this is still unfinished process). It become a hobby and I realy start to enjoy it. But I also realised that it is impossible to keep all of them and I would love to learn how to sell online. Sadly my computer skills are limited and English is my third language as well (I always affraid to make mistakes..) That make things difficult for me but I determinate to learn everything with your help. I realised a software for stamp collectors would be a great help. They are hundreds !!! How to choose the right one?
I would be very appreciate if some body could share with me expierence and knowledge . Maybe there are some useful links for beginners what I should know?

Thankx. Omamma in Australia
g'day omamma,
i have 2 good friends in nambucca heads near sydney (400 miles north on the coast) that i email frequently. my two nephews were born in sydney when their parents lived there for business purposes. as for your stamps, perhaps this link will help. i am an APS member and they give a lot of advice to novice collectors. also put your message on the philatelic forum where other collectors can also assist you. and what other languages do you speak? let us know as there are many nations represented on delcampe; and collectors from those nations may also give some assistance. hope this helps.

Good morning.
Thank you very much for your kind response. I'm sure it will help me.
My mother's language is latvian, but as most of latvians I can speak russian as well.
I wish I could have a bit more time for learning and searching around. That 's all I need.

g'day o'mamma,
it turns to evening here in the states. we have many russians on the site and i have 2 russians in my stamp club here in florida, igor and slava. they are very nice people and avid stamp collectors. they don't speak the best english either but they share the hobby of philately with the same enthusiasm i have for the past 45+ years. take care and i hope you get all the help you need here on delcampe.
