Just by accident I found this Ebay:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/13x1st-plus-37x2nd-class-security-stamps-unfranked-off-paper-no-gum-/170946264516?pt=UK_Stamps_BritishStamps&hash=item27cd30fdc4

They are unfraked stamps but the description says they cannot be use (reuse).

Why? as long as they are not franked, they should good to go, shouldn't they?

As far as I understand Winbert,if these stamps are marked 1st &
2nd class postage and haven't been franked, then they could still be used legally.They could be bought now and used in the future
as the postage isn't marked on them and they could still be used
as the class of postage would still have to be honoured.People including myself,bought stamps in bulk when we knew the postage was to be substantially increased, so if I used a 1st class
stamp purchased 12 months ago,even though the postage has
gone up,then that stamp would still be honoured as a 1st class
stamp.

Yes I thought so. It is just like money, they will never get expired unless the central bank withdraw them, and yet we will get new money as the replacement at the same face value.
