PARKING; From time to time, customers will comment to us something like “Parking’s terrible at your shop”. We agree – parking is terrible if you want to be able to stop within a few yards of our front door. BUT – as long as you are willing to walk a couple of hundred metres there are dozens of free unrestricted spaces always available.
Apart from at peak periods, you are allowed to stop directly in front of our shop to load and unload.
A few metres West of our shop is Inverleith Avenue, a cul-de-sac, where you have maybe a 50% chance of getting a space. But please DO NOT ever park on the double yellow lines there.
Another sixty metres west, on the other side of Ferry Road, in Wardie Road, a residential street, where you can always find a space. (Always !)

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. A mobile number (07974 962649) can be called on the evening of sale only.
Fax bids should be sent to us on 0131.478 7021. Please use the bid form that comes with your auction catalogue. Our machine will be operative during our stated opening hours from now until
the date of the sale. As well as this, it will operate 24-hours from 10am on Saturday 24 May

E-mail bids should be sent to us at [email protected] at any time from the moment you receive this catalogue until 3pm on Monday 26 May. Please do not e-mail bids to us after that

CREDIT CARDS We are happy to accept MasterCard and Visa credit card payments, as well as payments by Switch 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 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 credit 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 card details are given after posting, we will charge 1.9% extra (Visa/MasterCard) or 18p (Switch and Delta), plus cost of posting receipt slip.

VIEWING; please note that lots can normally be viewed in our shop during the one week prior to the auction. It is sometimes possible to view auction lots outside the normal times, but this must be by special arrangement.
