There are many ways. In the US you must be deceased and if you were a president you will immediately have a stamp in your honor. If you are an important or famous person though, the post office must wait 10 years before depicting you on a postage stamp. In other countries the rules are less strict.

Visit the American Stamp Dealers' Association for a dealer near you. They buy postage stamps, used and mint. They will usually pay 70 to 80% of face value for sheets of unused stamps, more if they are valuable to collectors.
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.
Ebay, stamp shows, philatelic auctions and philatelic shops.

Mine does. Ask the front cashier, we keep them underneath.
Stamp Dealer Actually, I sell US postage stamps on eBay. I sell about 20 to 50 a month. That may seem low, but they sell. Before I sell a stamp I have to know exactly what I am selling, therefore there is a process of identification and grading. Then the stamp is posted on eBay. You do not have to be a dealer to sell stamps. Collectors buy, sell and trade stamps all of the time.
Yes, every country uses postage stamps.
US postage stamps do not expire -- they are always worth face value as postage.
There are many places to buy stamps on Sunday. Many grocery and retail stores sell books of stamps and most Post Offices have machines you can purchase stamps from when the lobby is open. (I believe that many of the Kroger's grocery stores & Walmart super centers and retail stores sell postage stamps.) You can also buy stamps online anytime at the www.USPS.com website, or you can print your own postage on your computer printer (that is purchased from the website).
No, they did not exist then. Great Britain introduced the first postage stamps in 1840.
