 IMPORTANT;
            Viewing Arrangements for "Not-To-Auction" Lots.
          This
          relates to all lots in this auction which have the "[1a]" symbol in their description,
          signifying that they will not be taken to the auction venue. It will
          be arranged so that these lots can be viewed at our shop
          premises on
            auction day, and that purchases can be collected that same
          evening.
          {a} In addition to the normal viewing arrangements noted
          above, any lots marked "[1a]" can be viewed at our smaller
          shop at 1A Inverleith Gardens, on Monday 27th August from 3pm to 6.45pm. Should there be pressure on
          available space, viewing will be at the discretion of our
          staff.
          {b} After purchasing and paying for any "[1a]" lots at the
          auction venue, customers can take their receipted invoice to
          our shop and pick up these lots, from 8pm until ten minutes after the last
          customer has been cleared through accounts.
          {c} Customers can still opt to collect their lots from us
          later in the week during shop opening hours.
          {d} There is no parking directly outside 1A, so customers will
          have to park a little further along Inverleith Gardens. While
          we can lend you a trolley, there will be no available staff to
          carry boxes.

 THE
            AUCTION VENUE is
          650 metres 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.
    
THIS IS HOW YOU CAN BID;
          In
              Person. This is a public auction, and bids are made in
          person at the auction in the traditional manners.
        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 (post or email), even if the written confirmation will
          not reach us until after the auction. Numbers are 0131 552
          1220, or 0131 478 7021 up to about 2pm on sale day, after
          which use the mobile number.
          A mobile number (07974 962649) can be called on the afternoon and evening
            of sale only. Please speak to someone – no texts, no recorded
          messages. If no answer, just try again (we can be busy !).
        E-mail
              bids should be sent to us at [email protected] at any time from the moment you
          receive this catalogue until 2.45pm on Monday 8 October.
          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, and include your postal address. (We
          have a back-up email address of [email protected] in case of problems.) 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). If you do not get an
          email confirmation from us within that time, please try again,
          or phone. 
        
      
    
€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 0.8911, 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 some old "legacy" currencies, as well as other coins and notes.
CREDIT CARDS
 We are happy to
          accept MasterCard and Visa credit card payments, as well as
          payments by Debit Card. 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 or debit 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 card, and to have the lots posted.

FORTHCOMING AUCTIONS; Our next auction is planned for 26 November 2018.
      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).
        The telephone number at the
        Stewart's-Melville 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.
