These dates, though fairly firm,

auction catalogue is confirmation of the date.
�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
0.7223, so we are allowing 72p 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.

are unable to
attend the sale, as any written bids received which do
not fit our normal pattern would usually be taken

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).

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, 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.
