Some changes have been effected so as to save file space and
transfer/download time. Most illustrations and logos for

information you need.

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. |

suggest that it is not a trimmed-down perf-
orated stamp, but the combination of watermark and
colour only allow it to be SG 9, 17, or
48, all of which are perforated. Therefore a gamble;
it is either a standard stamp cut-down
or an unlisted variety. Sold �as is�, bids at any
level accepted.

THE
END OF THE
� Robert Murray 2013
A Buyer�s Premium of 10% (vat-inclusive) will be
added to all sale prices.
�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 0.8654, 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.
MATERIAL IS ACCEPTED FOR FUTURE SALES AT ANY TIME
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.
