€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 0.6774, so we are allowing 67p 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.

We prefer that vendors bring potential auction material to our shop. However, if bringing to the auction, please have it with us soon after the viewing starts at 3pm. Remove or erase all old lot numbers or other identification codes. If you know your own vendor reference number, please mark that on.
