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
LinkedIn
Google+
Facebook
Our Website will still be the first port-of-call for
most information, but the Facebook and Google+ pages
will be useful places for news, updates, snippets, and
comments.
Our Facebook page often
has a few illustrations and further descriptions and
comments, extra to what is in the catalogue.
�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
0.8642, 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.
THE AUCTION VENUE is 650 metres West of our Shop, on
The bar (upstairs) is open
we do not allow drinks at the viewing tables, but you
are welcome to bring drinks down from the bar
once the auction has started.
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.

Stamps and Collectables Auction,
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)
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 or debit 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 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 credit card details are given after
posting, we will charge 1.9% extra
(Visa/MasterCard), plus cost of posting receipt slip.

FORTHCOMING AUCTIONS; Our next stamp auction is planned for
This auction is
conducted according to the �Philatelic Auctioneers
Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale� (available
if requested), with the exception of Clause 6,

�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

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).

telephoning or writing. (Photocopies are available,
at a minimal plus postage, or request scans by
email.)
