With new and old, rusty and gold to modern collectibles are on offer from Piallaway Philatelic Society.
"We have some real experts, people who have been stamp collectors for years and we offer free appraisal for people who have stamp collections," member Mike McHugh said.
Recently one of the members of the society bought a lot at auction, in among it was a stamp set he had been looking for for years.
That complete set was worth at least $2000.
There's different layers of collectors, Mr McHugh said.
"There's people who like to collect stamps, coins, teddy bears - we as human beings are collectors, hunters and collectors are where we began," he said.

"There's thematic collectors, country collectors and investment collectors - they are a different breed, it's quite an elite area.
"Our club is about sharing a passion and it's non-judgmental."
The collectibles market runs Saturday and Sunday from 9am this weekend at the Currabubula Hall. Werris Creek Lions Club will run a market in the carpark on Sunday, with barbecue lunch available.
