This is the electronic/fax/internet

so as to save file space and transfer/download time. Most illustrations
and logos for example have been removed. Although it is not in the easiest
form to read, hopefully it will still bring you the information you need.
(The
first few lots have been tidied up to nearer their original style just
to give you a better impression.)
The figure at the end of each description
is our estimate, in pounds sterling. Bids are accepted above or below this
figure, although bids below about 75% or 80% estimate only have a tiny
chance of success. Estimates are in Pounds Sterling do not include the
10% buyer's premium.
After the main listings you will
find various information and instructions. This is followed by a sample
bid form, and a copy of the the notes that appear
on the reverse of our bid forms.
This is a public auction, in which
written/telephone/fax/e-mail bids are also accepted. 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 fax, 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, fax,
or post.

person for the first time, and intending to bid, are invited to make themselves
known before the sale starts. This saves the auctioneer from having to
ask for a name during the sale. |

** This auction is run in tandem with our Stamp Auction the
previous week. Please note that all terms and conditions, notes and guidance
printed in the stamp sale catalogue are valid for this sale also. All subscribers
should receive both these catalogues together.
** Please ensure that you use the correct bid forms. Also
please note that we will assume, where we receive bid forms for both sales
from one bidder at the same time, that we are to hold any purchases from
the Stamp sale until after the Collectables, and send all purchases together.
THE END OF THE SALE
© Robert Murray 2002
A Buyer’s Premium of 10% (vat-inclusive) will
be added to all sale prices.
THE AUCTION VENUE is 700 yards West of our Shop, on Ferry Road. It
has its own car park.
The bar (upstairs) is open 6-10pm and also serves a variety of food,
teas and coffees. Please note that
we do not allow drinks at the viewing tables, but you are welcome
to bring drinks down from the bar
once the auction has started.
Coming to the auction ?
Remember the Buy or Bid Sale - you can bring things along for sale
on the night. We charge 25p per
lot entry fee, and 10% commission on sales. (1% optional insurance)
(larger lots are charged £1 entry fee
if handed in at our shop, but the normal 25p if entered on the evening
of the sale)
All sorts of things sell well - single stamps, sets, country collections,
empty albums, mixed boxes,
and so on. If you have a number of lots to enter you can pick up
a supply of forms from the shop in
advance.
Bid Steps are published later in this catalogue, and our notes ask
that people use these increments. However, perhaps about 20% of bids submitted
by customers are not according to these steps. Any such bids are adjusted
downwards to the next normal step. If you want to maximise your chances,
please make sure that your bids match ours. Thanks !
* If you find time is tight to get bids posted
in time, we are happy to accept bids by telephone, fax or email. Please
always use first class post for sending bids.
* * The notes on the reverse of the Bid Form
form part of our terms of business - please read from time
to time. Explanations of our terms, principles,
practices, etc. can be had simply by asking at any time.
€uro Currency; We are now 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 0.6332, so we are
allowing 63p per Euro (which is probably better than your bank will give
you). You can also pay for auction lots in Euros (banknotes).
We cannot yet take auction bids or postal
payments in Euros.
| IMPORTANT INTERNET INFO !
website
Our previous stampshop.net website has closed,
due to dreadful treatment by USA-based Verio/Network Solutions (which may
come as little surprise to those who know much about them - they failed
to follow the instruction to transfer the registration to a UK registrar,
shut down the site, and then tranferred the name to a third party !).
Our main website is now based at www.stamp-shop.com
(note the hyphen, and .com rather than .net). Please be patient with us
while we fix odd links etc.
emails
Emails should now be sent to [email protected].
We have a back-up address of [email protected]
in case of problems.
We confirm the receipt of email bids within
24 hours of receipt (usually sooner, but not normally on the Sunday) |
Especially in the mixed lots, alternative bids,
and/or spending limits, can be very useful to the bidder
who cannot attend. Please feel free
to ask for advice – using this option might get you a lot or two
you would have missed out on otherwise.

NORMAL BIDDING STEPS

be of help to bidders who are unable to
attend the sale, as any written bids received which do not fit our

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).

to £200, bids are in £10 steps.
From £200 to £300, bids are in £20 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.
A mobile number (07974 962649) can be called on the evening of the sale
only.
Fax bids should be sent to us on 0131.478 7021. Please use the bid
form that comes with your auction catalogue. Our machine will be operative
during
our stated opening hours from now until the date of the sale. As well
as this, it will operate 24-hours from 10am on Saturday 2 November until
3pm on Monday 4 November. Please do not fax bids to us after that time.
E-mail bids should be sent to us at [email protected]
at any time from the moment you receive this catalogue until 3pm on Monday
4 November. Please do not e-mail bids to us after that time. Please use
the format and wording used on the bid form that comes with your auction
catalogue. (Please do not use the normal address, which has a temporary
problem .)
CREDIT CARDS
We are happy to accept MasterCard and Visa credit card payments,
as well as payments by Switch 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 (Switch and Delta), plus cost of posting receipt slip.
Coming to the auction ?
Remember the Buy or Bid Sale - you can bring things along for sale
on the night. We charge 25p per
lot entry fee, and 10% commission on sales (1% optional insurance).
All sorts of things sell well - single stamps, sets, country collections,
empty albums, mixed boxes,
and so on. If you have a number of lots to enter you can pick up
a supply of forms from the shop in

Lots can be entered for the Buy or Bid Sale in advance at our shop,
by appointment. Small lots (single stamps, sets, single covers or cards,
etc; i.e. that will fit on one of our standard large forms) are charged
at the normal 25p entry fee, but any lots larger than this are charged
£1 each entry. (The 25p entry still applies to larger lots if they
are entered for sale on the night.)

if requested).
A Buyer’s Premium of 10% (inclusive of global v.a.t.) will be added
to the sale price of all lots.

there VAT added to any sale prices.
Please bid early. In the case of equal bids, the lot will be sold to
the person whose bid was received first (unless free bidding in the room
equals the top book-bid, although the Auctioneer will try to regulate the
bidding in such a way as to avoid this).
Apart from viewing the lots in person, you can get a better description
of any lot, by telephoning or writing.
(Photocopies are available, at a charge of 15p per copy plus
postage.)
Remember the Buy or Bid Sale - bring items along on the night. We will
try to sell them for you, at a charge of 10% + 25p (optional insurance
1% extra). Have a look at what’s on offer before and during the main auction.

mailing list, please send us £4 with a note of your name and address.
Regular bidders and buyers may qualify for free renewal. Rates abroad are
EEC countries £4, other European countries £5, Overseas £8.
Successful postal bidders should note that postage stamps are not an
acceptable means of paying your account.

2331 or 0131.552 1515. On the evening of the sale only
you can use our mobile telephone number 07974 962649 (at other times
it is very seldom switched on, and we do not collect text messages or respond
to "missed calls" on our mobile).
Open Bids ("Buy Bids") are not normally accepted. If such bids
are made, they will be taken to mean a bid of ten times the printed estimate.
