THIS IS HOW YOU CAN
In Person. This is a public auction, and bids are made in
person at the auction in the traditional manners.
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 (post
or email), even if the written confirmation will not reach us
until after the auction. Numbers are 0131 552 1220, or 0131
478 7021 up to about
A mobile number (07974 962649) can be called on the
afternoon and evening of sale only. Please speak to
someone – no texts, no recorded messages. If no answer, just
try again (we can be busy !).
E-mail bids

24 hours (not on the Sunday before the auction, and usually
within one hour on the auction day). If you do not get an
email confirmation from us within that time, please try again,
or phone.
Stamps and Collectables Auction,
€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 0.8838, so we are
allowing 88p 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 some old “legacy” currencies, as well as
other coins and notes.
CREDIT CARDS
We are happy to accept MasterCard and Visa
credit card payments, as well as payments by Debit Card.
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.

FORTHCOMING AUCTIONS; Our next auction is planned for early 2019.
This auction is conducted
according to the “Philatelic Auctioneers Standard Terms and
Conditions of Sale” (available if requested), with the
exception of Clause 6, where “Scottish” should be
substituted for “English”.
A Buyer’s Premium of 10% (inclusive of global
v.a.t.) will be added to the sale price of all lots.
Telephone bids are accepted, but must later be
confirmed in writing. Alternatives and limits are accepted.
Material can be accepted
at any time for inclusion in future sales. Our commission is
12% of the sale price, plus administration fee of £1.50 per
lot + £6.50 per vendor (all plus v.a.t.). Full details on
request.
We DO NOT charge buyers a handling charge per lot,
nor is there VAT added to any sale prices.
Please bid early. In the case of equal bids,
the lot will be sold to the person whose bid was received
first (unless free bidding in the room equals the top
book-bid, although the Auctioneer will try to regulate the
bidding in such a way as to avoid this).
Apart from viewing the lots in person, you can get a
better description of any lot, by telephoning or writing.
(Photocopies are available, at a minimal plus postage, or
request scans by email.)
Remember the Buy or Bid

currently £7 for inland addresses. If you are not already on
our mailing list, please send us £9 with a note of your name
and address. Regular bidders and buyers may qualify for free
renewal. Rates abroad are European countries £12, Overseas

Successful postal bidders should note that
postage stamps are not an acceptable means of paying your
account.
Prices realised for this sale will be published with
our next catalogue. If you are not normally on our mailing
list, the List of Prices Realised can be had by simply
sending us a stamped addressed envelope. Alternatively, you
can be put on our auction mailing list (see above).

Pavilion is 0131.551
2331 (mobile 07974 962649).
Open Bids (“Buy Bids”) are
not normally accepted. If such bids are made, they will be
taken to mean a bid of ten times the printed
estimate.
Any invoices remaining unpaid fourteen days from
the auction date (or after delivery to a postal buyer) will
attract interest at the rate of 2% per month or part thereof.
