This is the electronic/fax/internet version of our normal paper catalogue. Some changes have been effected 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 sale is arranged in the following order;
    Lots 1-61 Collections and Mixed Lots
    Lots 62-98 Literature and Supplies
    Lots 99-147 Non-Philatelic Items
    Lots 148-445 Lots by country A-Z, excluding U.K.
    Lots 446-489 United Kingdom

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.

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.
New customers attending one of our sales in 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.

At least one disappointed bidder in the last sale commented that the estimates were very low compared 
to the actual prices. While commenting that bidding was particularly strong in the March auction, we 
can tell you that the sale total was 20.3% above the sale estimate. However, this average includes the 
full range of realisations; for example, two lots with �40 estimates were sold at �26 and �180 !

FORTHCOMING AUCTIONS; Our next auction will be on Monday 14 May 2001.
 This auction is conducted according to the "Philatelic Auctioneers Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale" (available
 if requested).
Postal Bidders should remember that they may give alternative bids, or state a total spending limit.
 Telephone bids are accepted, but must later be confirmed in writing.
Material can be accepted at any time for inclusion in future sales. Our commission is 15% of the sale price, plus administration fee of 75p per lot + �3.75 per vendor (all plus v.a.t.).
 We DO NOT charge a buyer�s premium, 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 charge of 15p per copy.)
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% + 20p (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.

If you are not already on our 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.
 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).

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 at other times, 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.
