€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 0.8928, so we are allowing 89p 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.

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.
          Then £220, £240, £260, £280, £300, £320, £350, £380, £400,
          £420, £450, £480, £500, £550, £600, £650, £700, £750, £800,
          £850, £900, £950, £1,000, £1,100, £1,200, etc., and above this
          in 5% to 10% steps.
Abbreviations; a list of abbreviations and
              symbols used is from time to time included in the auction
              catalogue. We suggest that you keep a copy for future

          form that comes with your auction cat-
                     
          alogue, and include your postal address. (We have a

FORTHCOMING AUCTIONS; Our next auction is planned for 27 November
          2017.
          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

            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).

          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.
