�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.

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.

SCOTEX will be held as usual at the Dewar Centre in Perth, on Friday 18 October (11am-5.30pm) and Saturday 19 October (10am-4.30pm). We�ll be there as usual, and although we�ll have a smaller stand than normal, we�re still aiming to be busy !  We�ll have with us our stocks of better selected stamps of the world, and of our better selected covers of the world. Of course we�ll also be happy (as ever) to meet customers old and new, advise and answer questions on all manner of subjects, receive material for future sale by auction, and so on.

Our shop will be closed on Saturday 19 October.



And a rather different date for your diary.
Bob Murray�s Oxjam Gig
Yes, when not stamping I�m a bit of a musician. For anybody that�s interested, I�ll be doing two quite cosy solo gigs (with support act) in the Cellar Bar of Edinburgh�s Canons� Gait Bar (232 Canongate) on Monday 28th and Thursday 31st October, 8pm each evening. I�ll be doing a wide variety of my favourite songs � some well-known, some much less so, generally(ish !) in the Scottish traditional vein, and probably even with a couple of my own.
Tickets are just �5 each, with all receipts going to Oxfam, as these gigs are part of the Oxjam Music Festival. Tickets from the shop here, or at this auction, or at the Canons� Gait any Wednesday night.
If you can�t come, but want to support the cause, either just give me money or go to www.justgiving.com/megasesh (we�re having a big Oxjam session on Wednesday 23 October, but that�s quite likely to sell out quickly � raffle prizes welcome � see www.stamp-shop.com/oxjam) or text JAM0577 to 70066 to donate �3.

            E-mail bids should be sent to us at [email protected] at any time from the moment you receive this catalogue until

CREDIT CARDS

Do not complete these details unless you want to pay by debit/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), plus cost of posting receipt slip.

 (Photocopies are available, at a charge of 15p per copy (colour copies A4 pages; 1st copy 50p, 30p per page thereafter), plus postage.)

 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.
