The figure at the end of each description is our estimate, in pounds sterling.

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. |

The following page is the disposal of bulk stock
which had been held in storage by a
dealer. Most boxes are simply of random cheaper
material, typically albums, stockbooks,
album pages, loose stamps, thematic packets, covers,
etc., although the mix from lot to lot
will vary. This stock has been held in a basement for
several years and while most is
unaffected by this storage, there are some areas where
material shows some deterioration.

THIS IS HOW YOU CAN
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, or 0131 478 7021.
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
time. Please use the format and wording used on the bid
form that comes with your auction cat-
alogue, 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)
€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 0.8698, so we are allowing 86p 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.

FORTHCOMING AUCTIONS; Our next auction is planned for early 26 March
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
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

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.
