 Scotland's Leading Dealer, Valuer, and Auctioneer, for stamps, coins, banknotes, medals, and cards. Thank you for visiting our website. Retail Shop Opening Days No dates are fixed at present, but we can safely say that there will be nothing until our auctions are completed and the posting of lots largely finished, and that will be about the start of June. Previous and Next Auctions We have dates (see above) for our next auctions. These will be our last main auctions, and will clear most of our stock. Our last duo of online auctions went well. If you click on these links you can still see the catalogues (and see what you missed !). Monday 17th June 2024 :: Live Online Auction (afternoon and evening sessions). Tuesday 18th June 2024 :: Timed Online Auction throughout the day. Ask to go on our emailing list if you would like to be kept informed. <<<<<0>>>>> "Retirement Sale" big mixes. We've got big stocks of this stuff so we've decided to make up some special clearance batches. Our stock of these is of millions of stamps so we'd be happy for you to buy a few thousand ! Each lot will be 500g of world off-paper, plus 200g of UK off-paper, and we'll also chuck in a few odd "freebies" with each batch. (If you buy a repeat lot we'll try not to repeat the same free items. Therefore if you are making a repeat order please tell us when you bought your previous one.) There will definitely be duplication among the thousands of stamps you get, and please allow for there being some damaged here and there. (There might even be an odd stamp on-paper, etc. There is so much stuff we can't possibly check each one.) Give one a go ! £40 per lot |
The big news of course is that Robert Murray is working towards semi-retirement. The selling-off of stock is well underway, as a mix between retail sales, wholesale sales, and auction sales. We have stopped doing our "quick informative valuations", and we are not buying any material for stock. Neither are we currently accepting material for sale by auction. We do however still carry out formal valuations (e.g. for insurance or estate valuation), and we can still handle gold coins etc. If you are wanting to sell stamps, coins, postcards, banknotes, etc. we do have list of other dealers available - please email us asking for a copy. If you have a substantial collection we may well be able to advise and assist with its sale.
We continue to run online auctions, now solely selling off our own stocks. See details and links elsewhere on this page. The retail shop is not open at any regular hours, though customers can visit by appointment, or can get in touch to arrange to pick up items they would like to purchase. Keep watching here, and on our Facebook page, for notes about new stock etc. *** FUTURE PLANS In due course the shop will be closed, we will have disposed of our stocks, and we'll not be running auctions. However, Bob Murray will still be active in the stamps and collectables world - carrying out valuations, giving advice to clients with collections for sale, and connecting collectors/dealers/auctioneers where appropriate. With his lengthy experience he's well placed to point people in the right direction. Much more information about this in due course.  |
