FORTHCOMING AUCTIONS; Our next auction is planned for 25 March 2019.
This auction is conducted according to the
“Philatelic Auctioneers Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale” (available if
requested), with the exception of Clause 6, where “Scottish” should be
substituted for “English”.
A Buyer’s
Premium of 10% (inclusive of global v.a.t.) will be added to the sale price of
all lots.
Telephone bids are accepted, but
must later be confirmed in writing. Alternatives and limits are accepted.
Material can be accepted at any time for inclusion in future sales. Our
commission is 12% of the sale price, plus administration fee of £1.50 per lot +
£6.50 per vendor (all plus v.a.t.). Full details on request.
We DO NOT charge buyers a
handling charge per lot, nor is 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 minimal plus postage, or request
scans by email.)
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. You can buy
items outright or place a bid. (Larger
lots delivered to our shop are charged £1 per lot entry fee.)
The annual subscription
for our auction catalogues is currently £7 for inland addresses. If you are not
already on our mailing list, please send us £9 with a note of your name and
address. Regular bidders and buyers may qualify for free renewal. Rates abroad
are European countries £12, Overseas £15.
Successful postal bidders should
note that postage stamps are not an acceptable means of paying your account.
Prices realised for this
sale will be published with our next catalogue. If you are not normally on our
mailing list, the List of Prices Realised can be had by simply sending us a
stamped addressed envelope. Alternatively, you can be put on our auction
mailing list (see above).

Pavilion is 0131.551 2331 (mobile 07974 962649).
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.
Any invoices remaining unpaid fourteen days from the auction date (or after delivery to a postal buyer) will attract interest at the rate of 2% per month or part thereof.
