(The first few lots have been tidied up to nearer their original style just to give you a better impression.)
 

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. 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/fax/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 fax, 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.

                                                                                                                        Estimate (pounds sterling)

 1     Not an enormous box, but a nice mixture. Loose stamps, pages, packets, stockcards, etc.
      with a very varied range of world stamps, early to modern, mint and used, one-offs or very
      duplicated, countries popular and unpopular; all in all a very diverse lot with good pickings
      throughout. Includes scarce and unusual stamps and oddities. (1,000s)      ..          ..        ..        £150.
  2     Medium box with quite a reasonable grade of mix. Little is very common, and there are
      earlier or more unusual stamps scattered throughout, as well as numerous covers. All-world
      coverage inc. countries not often seen, and with many USA and Germany noticed. Good lot
      for collector or dealer. (1,000s)        ..        ..       ..       ..        ..         .         ..         ..         ..           £120.

 5 Good quality mix in box. Some cheaper items in bulk, but many useful stamps and covers
      from quite a good range of countries (inc. much USA). Well worth inspection (or, at estimate,
      well worth taking a gamble blind). (100s)         ..         ..         ..        ..         ..         ..        ..               50.

WEBSITE and EMAILS; We had very serious problems last month, due to some dreadful treatment at
 the hands of a USA-based company. Please change your records to show our website as www.stamp-shop.com and our email as [email protected] (note hyphen, and “.com” instead of “.net”)

In addition to the “hammer price”, buyers pay a 10% premium, and postal customers are charged postage
at cost. There is no extra handling charge per lot or per invoice, nor is v.a.t. added to any prices.

  Non-Philatelic Items
  ** All non-philatelic items this month appear in the Collectables Auction catalogue for
  11 November. All postal subscribers should receive both these catalogues together.
  ** Please ensure that you use the correct bid forms. Also please note that we will assume, where we
  receive bid forms for both sales from one bidder at the same time, that we are to hold any
  purchases from the Stamp sale until after the Collectables, and send all purchases together.

VIEWING; please note that lots can normally be viewed in our shop during the one week prior to the auction. Although, in the week leading up to the Stamp Auction, we will have both sales on view, it is clearly going to be easier (for you and for us) if you can leave your viewing of the Collectables lots until the Stamp sale has taken place.

Coming to the auction ?
Remember the Buy or Bid Sale - you can bring things along for sale on the night. We charge 25p per
lot entry fee, and 10% commission on sales. (1% optional insurance) (larger lots are charged £1 entry fee
if handed in at our shop, but the normal 25p if entered on the evening of the sale)
All sorts of things sell well - single stamps, sets, country collections, empty albums, mixed boxes,
and so on. If you have a number of lots to enter you can pick up a supply of forms from the shop in
advance.
 

The new Stanley Gibbons Commonwealth “2003” Catalogue is expected into stock at any moment.
This will be in a new style, listing only stamps of the period 1840 to 1952, and will be in one volume, priced at £39.95
We are uncertain as to what will be used to cover the later years, but will advise when any definite information comes to hand.
 

Bid Steps are published later in this catalogue, and our notes ask that people use these increments. However, perhaps about 20% of bids submitted by customers are not according to these steps. Any such bids are adjusted downwards to the next normal step. If you want to maximise your chances, please make sure that your bids match ours. Thanks !
 

* If you find time is tight to get bids posted in time, we are happy to accept bids by telephone, fax or email. Please always use first class post for sending bids.
* * The notes on the reverse of the Bid Form form part of our terms of business - please read from time
to time. Explanations of our terms, principles, practices, etc. can be had simply by asking at any time.
 

€uro Currency; We are now happy to accept Euro cash payments in our shop. We display our rate beside the counter. We normally allow the market rate rounded down to the next whole penny. For example, at the time of writing, the market rate is 0.6332, so we are allowing 63p per Euro (which is probably better than your bank will give you). You can also pay for auction lots in Euros (banknotes).
We cannot yet take auction bids or postal payments in Euros.
 
 

Especially in the mixed lots, alternative bids, and/or spending limits, can be very useful to the bidder
 who cannot attend. Please feel free to ask for advice – using this option might get you a lot or two
you would have missed out on otherwise.
