If you are bidding with us for the first time, please bid by two of these methods with the same bids (e.g. by post and by phone, or by telephone and by e-mail), or bid in good enough time for us to get back in touch with you with any queries.
| NEW BIDDERS;
               Please note that bidders who are not already known to us are required to bid in the first instance by two different methods. The options available are email, telephone, or post.

and
                Mixed Lots.
                    1     Entertaining and
            noteworthy collection in springback album. This covers the
            whole world 
                         
            and is largely composed of individual items a
            collector has purchased over a number of years, 
                         
            with a bias to older Commonwealth, but with other
            Europe and Overseas included, and inc-

            much 
                         
            useful. Mainly fine, but some faults or poorer
            mounting. (100s) �

                    3     Old and broken
            ledger used as an album, with almost everything being 19th
            and early 20th 
                         
            Century (mainly up to about 1920). Typically mixed
            condition, and had had some picking 
                         
            at some time, but with interest throughout and inc.
            some fiscals, postal stationery, etc.

                    4     An attractive
            and entertaining mint (tiny number of used) world collection
            in four binders 
                         
            of Hagner/Prinz pages. The strength is in the
            disparity and coverage, the bulk of stamps 
                         
            from very roughly 1890s to 1960s (though earlier and
            later included), with examples of 
                         
            many territories not often seen (e.g. 
                         
            
                         
            seldom the commonest stamps, and often worth a few
            pounds per country (usually at least 
                         
            a pound or two). (c.3,000+) �     ..

                    5     Interesting
            world collection in two cartons. General ranges without much
            modern, with 
                         
            strength in France, but with better items/sets here
            and there throughout . . .  BUT the
            coll-
                         
            ection has been damp, leaving some mould, and many
            mint stamps stuck down (some 
                         
            solidly, others removing with caution). A worthwhile
            lot, but quite a serious project for 
                         
            somebody. (1,000s) �

            R. A moderate 
                         
            general range but with a scattering of better (most
            of which are highlighted, and are

While we
              prefer not to take in future auction lots actually at the
              auction (we�ve got enough to do !) we understand that it
              makes sense for some people to do so. But please, if you
              are delivering auction material to us at the auction, mark
              up your packages with your vendor reference number. If you
              don�t have a number please call us in advance of the sale
              day so that we can give you one.
It is a
              while since we printed this notice in our catalogue, but
              it needs to be repeated from time to time;
              
              We are the only people who should be doing business in or
              at the auction premises. We do not allow any other
              business without our express permission. We know that
              people often take the opportunity of meeting at our
              auction to carry out small sales or exchanges, and we
              don't generally have any problem with that, as long as we
              are asked. Otherwise no approaches should be made to other
              customers with a view to making sales or soliciting
              business. On pain of death. (Well, actually, probably on
              pain of a slightly embarrassing telling-off, but at very
              worst a ban.)
A Buyer�s Premium of 10%
                (vat-inclusive) will be added to all sale prices.

              This date, though fairly firm, is still provisional. The

�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 0.8252, so we are allowing
        82p 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. 
        
              
    
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 � ��, 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.

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 [email protected]
        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 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.
