�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 0.84009, so we are allowing
84p 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.

Our shop will be closed on Saturday 19

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,
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.

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).

postal buyers.
In order to deal with postal clients, our bid forms have been
designed to make space for credit card instructions.
