To sell a postage stamp: Properly identify the stamp using a postage stamp catalog. You will also have to determine the condition of the stamp. This will give you a good idea of rarity and value. Determine the best market to sell it in. Either direct sale to a dealer, posting on eBay or contacting a philatelic auction house. If the value is under a couple of bucks, it probably isn't going to work to sell to a dealer, and certainly doesn't fit in an auction. The best choice then would be eBay. If the value is higher than that, a dealer is a quick option, but for very highly valued stamps, an auction is your best bet.
