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 0.842, 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 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 � ��, 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,

        Telephone bids will be accepted at any
        time
        before the sale (but
        the earlier the better). These bids
        should

        reach us
        until after the auction. Numbers
        are 0131 552 1220, 0131 478 7021, or UK local rate 0845 0500

        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 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.
