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 (and are not normally sold at less than about two-thirds of estimate). Estimates are in Pounds Sterling do not include the 10% buyer's premium.
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/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 phone, 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, 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. |

�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 0.7584, so we are allowing 75p
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.
Special offer in our shop on Prinz System
pages (similar
to Hagner). Buy five packets and get a sixth one free !
This applies to single-sided and to double-sided. (If
you get a mix of doubles and singles, your free packet
will be of the single-sided.)
The offer is on now and will run right through to the
end of January. Any orders made by 31 January can be
brought to the auction and still qualify.
These are very popular pages used by many collectors. If
you don't already use them, pop in some time and we'll
show you. Single-side pages are �4.75 per packet of ten,
double-sided are �7.00 per ten, and they come in nine
different formats.
It is
some time now since we ran any of our stamp workshops,
and people keep asking when we�re doing them next, so
we�ve gone ahead and fixed a new series. See the
coloured insert in this catalogue for details. We
usually find that some sell out quickly, so if there�s
something you don�t want to miss please book up as soon
as you can.

that {a} we can be a bit more �chatty� and give further
information about items, and {b} we can add extra
illustrations as required, or answer questions publicly.

Follow us or connect online � as well as our main
website at www.stamp-shop.com
we can be found on the social media by searching for
�Robert Murray Stamp Shop� on

be useful places for news, updates, snippets, and
comments.
MATERIAL IS ACCEPTED FOR FUTURE SALES AT ANY TIME
Parcels;
At some parcel weight bands, Royal Mail are
now considerably dearer than some other carriers. We�ve
almost always used Royal Mail and used postage stamps to
pay the postage. We have not in the past charged any
packaging fee above the cost of postage.
If we are asked to use a carrier to send a package (rather
than Royal Mail), and are not therefore using postage
stamps, we will charge �5 per consignment for packing,
plus �1 per further parcel (i.e. 1 parcel �5, 2 parcels
�6, 3 parcels �7, et seq.). The buyer has to arrange the
carrier, and pick-ups must be made during our working
hours.
We trust you�ll understand !
We will continue to use Royal Mail as our default service,
but ask customers to say if they�d rather use another
parcel company.

Shop� on

Most auctions include a
few lots which, due to their large size or weight compared to
value, will not be taken to the auction venue. They must
therefore be viewed at our shop during the previous week, and
successful purchasers will be responsible for their collection
from us. The symbol for these is � ��, and very generally
speaking, there's a cut-off point of about �2 or �3 estimate
per kilo weight.
If you attend the auction and buy any of these lots, you can
either call at the shop during normal opening hours, or it is
sometimes possible to arrange to pick up after the auction has
finished (though please first speak to Mr. Murray to arrange
this).
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.
>From �200 to �300, bids are in �20 steps.
>From �300 to �500, bids are in �20 or �30, and above this
in 5% to 10% steps.

THIS IS HOW YOU CAN BID;
In Person. This is a public auction, and
bids are made in the traditional manners.
Bids 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, even if the
written confirmation will not reach us until after the auction. Numbers are 0131 552 1220, 0131 478
7021, or UK local rate 0845 0500 886.
A mobile number (07974 962649) can be called on the
afternoon and evening of sale only.
Fax bids; no fax facility is available.
E-mail bids should be sent to us at [email protected]
at any time from the moment you receive this catalogue until
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)
CREDIT
CARDS
We are happy to accept
MasterCard and Visa credit card payments, as well as payments
by Maestro and Delta. 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 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 debit/credit card, and to have the lots posted.
We have negotiated good rates with our bank, and are able to
absorb the bank charges for this service ourselves, and
therefore there is no additional charge for the use of this
facility, as long as postal bidders give us their details in
advance of posting. Only for postal buyers where card
details are given after posting, we will charge 1.9% extra (Visa/MasterCard), plus cost of
posting receipt slip.
VIEWING; please note that lots can normally be viewed in our
shop during the one week prior to the auction. It is
sometimes possible to view auction lots outside the normal times,
but this must be by special arrangement.
