Some advice from the UK....

http://www.philatelicdatabase.com/stamp-collecting/stamp-collecting-for-beginners-1/

I just found a website which you may already know about. It includes an article on stamp collecting for beginners which you may enjoy - it's focus is acquisition of material...

Honestly, it used to embarass me a great deal to enter a post office with a stamp collector I know (who shall remain nameless) who did just what this author recommends and unabashedly rummaged through the waste bin for interesting items for his collection. But the author is correct in recommending pride (in this instance) be subordinate to pleasure. Feel free to ask for stuff and look for it and accept it and get started!
