If bringing us lots for sale in a future auction, and these are presented in boxes or albums which have previously been auction lots, it avoids the potential for confusion if you remove (or delete) old lot numbers, vendor codes, etc. before giving them to us. This applies especially to any material given to us on auction night. If you know your own Vendor Reference Number, please mark it on.
Vendors please note that we are deliberately becoming a bit harsher on bulky lots of low value. Be aware that such lots (as with many in this auction) may not be taken to the auction room. In some cases we ask that we are allowed to discard some of the lowest-value material (e.g. old catalogues and magazines, cheap kiloware).

Coming to the auction ?  Remember the Buy or Bid Sale - you can bring things along for sale on
the night. We charge 25p per lot entry fee, and 10% commission on sales (1% optional insurance).
