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 normally allow the market
rate
rounded down to the next whole penny. For example, at the time of
writing, the
market rate is 0.8884, so we are allowing 88p per Euro (which is
probably
better than your bank will give you). You can also pay for lots in this
auction
by Euro banknotes (postal customers please confirm before sending). We
also
accept payments in
our shop in
Euros, and we buy the old “legacy” currencies, as well as other coins and
notes.
A serious note
to
Buy or Bid Vendors. With immediate effect, any unsold lots left
with us
(unless there has been a specific arrangement made) that are larger in
area
than A4 and/or thicker than 5mm will be treated as abandoned. These
will be put
into our charity box, or sold to recover our costs, or disposed of as
rubbish.
Full conditions of business are
displayed at the Buy or Bid Sale, and
the entering of lots implies acceptance of the terms.
The above is unfortunately
necessary due to that small minority of
people who do not voluntarily follow our normal system.
The largest number of lots in our Buy or Bid Sale are small items;
commonly
stamps on a stockcard, presented for sale on one of our A4 forms. These
small
items we are happy to accept in advance of the auction day, and to hold
unsolds
for a reasonable period after the auction.
However, some vendors bring us larger lots in advance. These are
subject to a
£1 per lot entry fee (although still the normal 25p if entered at
the venue on
the day of sale).
Some vendors leave us with
larger unsolds, expecting us to store them
until they make arrangements to pick them up. We think an entry fee of
just 25p
per lot is pretty good value, but it certainly does not cover shifting
and
storing larger unsold lots.
MATERIAL IS ACCEPTED FOR FUTURE SALES AT ANY TIME
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.

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 debit/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), 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.
