A Buyer’s Premium of 10% (vat-inclusive)
will be added to all sale prices.
0845 0500 886 Use
this number to make bids or to check on
prices after the auction – or any time you want to speak to us – from
anywhere
in the UK for the cost of a local rate phone call.
€uro Currency; We are happy to accept
Euro cash payments in our shop. We display our rate beside the counter.
We
normally allow the market rate rounded down to the next whole penny.
For
example, at the time of writing, the market rate is 0.8434, so we are
allowing
84p per Euro (which is probably better than your bank will give you).
You can
also pay for auction lots in Euro banknotes (postal customers please
confirm
before sending). We also accept payments in our shop in Euros, and we
buy many of the
old “legacy” currencies, as well as other coins and notes.
Most
auctions include a few lots which, due to their large size or weight
compared
to value, will not be taken to the auction venue. They must therefore
be viewed
at our shop during the previous week, and successful purchasers will be
responsible for their collection from us. The symbol for these is “ Ä”, and very generally speaking,
there's a cut-off
point of about £2 or £3 estimate per kilo weight.
If you attend the auction and buy any of these lots, you can either
call at the
shop during normal opening hours, or it is sometimes possible to
arrange to
pick up after the auction has finished (though please first speak to
Mr. Murray
to arrange this).
NORMAL BIDDING
STEPS
We
list here our normal bid steps for your information. This may be of
help to bidders
who are unable to
attend the sale, as any written bids received which do not fit our
normal
pattern would usually be taken
down to the next normal step. (We keep to these increments as much as
possible,
but do sometimes
change if circumstances make it desirable.)
Up to £20, bids are in £1 steps.
From £20 to £30, bids are in £2 steps.
>From £30 to £50, bids are in £2 or £3 steps
(i.e. £30, £32, £35, £38, £40, £42,
£45, £48, £50).
>From £50 to £100 in £5 steps.
From £100 to £200,
bids are in £10 steps.
>From £200 to £300, bids are in £20 steps.
>From £300 to £500, bids are in £20 or £30,
and
above this in 5% to 10% steps.

THIS
IS HOW YOU CAN BID;
In Person. This is a public auction,
and bids are made in the traditional manners.
Bids by post. Please use the Bid Form supplied,
and send first
class.
Telephone bids will be accepted at any time
before the sale (but
the earlier the better). These bids
should
be confirmed in writing, even if the written confirmation will not
reach us
until after the auction. Numbers
are 0131 552 1220, 0131 478 7021, or UK local rate 0845 0500 886.
A mobile number (07974 962649)
can be called on the afternoon and evening of sale only.
Fax bids; no fax facility is available.
E-mail bids should be sent to us at auction@stamp-shop.com
at any time from the moment you receive this catalogue until
We normally confirm receipt of
email bids within 24 hours (not on the Sunday before the auction, and
usually
within one hour on the auction day)
CREDIT
CARDS
We are happy to
accept MasterCard and Visa credit card
payments, as well as payments by Maestro and Delta. This facility can
be used
by room purchasers (who pay their accounts at the auction), by other
local
customers (who pay their bill in our shop), and by postal buyers.
In order to deal with postal clients, our bid forms have been designed
to make
space for credit card instructions.
If you want your purchases charged in this way, please complete the
appropriate
section.
Do not complete these
details unless you want to
pay by credit card, and to have the
lots posted.
We have negotiated good rates with our bank, and are able to absorb the
bank
charges for this service ourselves, and therefore there is no
additional charge
for the use of this facility, as long as postal bidders give us their
details in
advance of posting. Only for postal buyers where card details are
given after
posting, we will charge 1.9% extra
(Visa/MasterCard) or 18p (Maestro
and Delta), plus cost of posting receipt slip.
VIEWING; please note that lots can normally be viewed in our
shop during the one week prior to the auction. It is sometimes
possible
to view auction lots outside the normal times, but this must be by
special
arrangement.
