€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 0.8928, so we are allowing 89p 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.

FORTHCOMING AUCTIONS; Our next auction is planned for 27 November
2017.
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.)

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.
