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. |

added to all sale prices.
MATERIAL IS ACCEPTED FOR FUTURE SALES AT ANY TIME
Stamps and Collectables Auction,
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.).
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 we used another
parcel company.

SCOTTISH PHILATELIC CONGRESS
will be held at the Dewar�s Centre,
Friday 11th April
Saturday 12th April
There will be over thirty dealers in stamps,
postal history, and postcards, plus exhibitions.
The hosts for 2014 are The Scottish Postal
History Society.
We�ll be there � please come round and see us
at our stand !
Because of our attendance at Congress, our shop
will be CLOSED on Saturday 12th April.
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

to bidders who are unable to
