�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 0.7845, so we are allowing 78p 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.
Methods
of payment accepted at auction;
Cash (Sterling, Euro notes)
Cheque
(from established customers)
Debit Card (no
surcharge)
Credit Card (no surcharge on UK
accounts)
Methods of payment accepted
after auction; all the above plus
Direct
bank transfer to our account (Robert
Murray Stamp Shop, sort code 82-45-05, account
80371787) but
please quote invoice number, and
email or phone to advise us of
payment,
plus
PayPal by arrangement (additional fee of 4% UK, 5%
foreign)
NB; credit card payments after
posting of
lots incur a 1.9% surcharge (higher for foreign).
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).
We often have several hundred lots brought in for sale, of
all sorts of shapes and sizes, styles, and prices.

website at www.stamp-shop.com
we can be found on the social media by searching for

information, but the new Facebook and Google+ pages will
be useful places for news, updates, snippets, and
comments.
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.). The buyer has to arrange the
carrier, and pick-ups must be made during our working
hours.
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 use another
parcel company.

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

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

much as possible, but do sometimes
change if circumstances make it desirable.)

From �20 to �30, bids are in �2 steps.
>From �30 to �50, bids are in �2 or �3 steps (i.e. �30,
