COLLECTABLES AUCTION 11 NOVEMBER; suitable lots are still being accepted (closing about 5 October). All sorts of items sell well – coins, postcards, cigarette and trade cards, and banknotes are

Remember as a guide that as a vendor you are advised to sell no less than about £20 in one auction,
or to enter lots less than about £5/£10, or worth less than about £5/£10 per kilo. Note however that, for
administration purposes we treat this auction and the stamp sale the week before as one entity, and
only one “vendor fee” is charged, even if you have lots in both sales.

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) (larger lots are charged £1 entry fee
if handed in at our shop, but the normal 25p if entered on the evening of the sale)
All sorts of things sell well - single stamps, sets, country collections, empty albums, mixed boxes,
and so on. If you have a number of lots to enter you can pick up a supply of forms from the shop in
advance.
 

The new Stanley Gibbons Commonwealth “2003” Catalogue is expected into stock at any moment.
This will be in a new style, listing only stamps of the period 1840 to 1952, and will be in one volume, priced at £39.95
We are uncertain as to what will be used to cover the later years, but will advise when any definite information comes to hand.
 

Bid Steps are published later in this catalogue, and our notes ask that people use these increments. However, perhaps about 20% of bids submitted by customers are not according to these steps. Any such bids are adjusted downwards to the next normal step. If you want to maximise your chances, please make sure that your bids match ours. Thanks !
 

* If you find time is tight to get bids posted in time, we are happy to accept bids by telephone, fax or email. Please always use first class post for sending bids.
* * The notes on the reverse of the Bid Form form part of our terms of business - please read from time
to time. Explanations of our terms, principles, practices, etc. can be had simply by asking at any time.
 

€uro Currency; We are now happy to accept Euro cash payments in our shop. We display our rate beside the counter. We normally allow the market rate rounded down to the next whole penny. For example, at the time of writing, the market rate is 0.6332, so we are allowing 63p per Euro (which is probably better than your bank will give you). You can also pay for auction lots in Euros (banknotes).
We cannot yet take auction bids or postal payments in Euros.
 
 

Especially in the mixed lots, alternative bids, and/or spending limits, can be very useful to the bidder
 who cannot attend. Please feel free to ask for advice – using this option might get you a lot or two
you would have missed out on otherwise.
