EASTBOURNE AND SOUTH DOWNS PHILATELIC SOCIETY AUCTION 23rd February 2017

A lack of box lots this time, but there’s still plenty to look at with a volume of stockbooks – some of which have stamps falling out of, so please be careful! We also have the remainder of the album sheets that sold nicely lasat time out, and Germany from a variety of Vendors

As usual:- a) if you cannot get to the auction, or may get there late, we can bid on your behalf, but if possible, bids should be made at least 24 hours before the start of the auction. Please place bids on a book bid form, but if that’s not possible, please give me a ring or send an e-mail. My e-mail address is on the last page of the catalogue. b) descriptions are primarily those supplied by the Vendors (except where the auctioneers have expanded them in the interests of clarity or to point out faults which they have found but which were not mentioned by the Vendors). They were pretty good this time round, thank you all.

Please remember that, unless otherwise shown, all prices shown in the last column are reserves, the lowest price at which the lot will be sold.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ End of Room Auction~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If members are unable to attend the auction, they may forward book bids to the auctioneer. Please complete the Book Bid form available on the viewing night. Please ensure that your bids are received at least 24 hours before the auction to be certain that they are entered. Payments may be made in cash (right money appreciated) or by cheque to made payable to Eastbourne and South Downs P. S. or if you’d prefer just to E.& SDPS The club generally holds 7 auctions a year, so we are always in need of material for sale. Guidance in putting together lots appears in the Society’s handbook. Would all Vendors please check this. In particular, Vendors are reminded:- a) of the necessity to use the proper forms (or something very similar to it) when submitting lots. b) to try and give a genuine and accurate description of the lot – including details of flaws, rusting, corners missing, lack of gum on a mint stamp etc. c) to ensure that each lot submitted has a panel or cover which would allow a lot number to be affixed without damaging the lot, and d) to submit lots which are not overflowing (boxes), likely to shed material (loose in albums) etc, etc. e) that there is a 50p minimum and that lots of less than £1 may not make the cut but could be held over to a subsequent auction f) that packet-type material should not be sealed so as to deny inspection.

If you require further advice, please speak to one of the auction organisers/helpers

Additional notes. a) Auction material can still be handed to one of the auction organizers at Thursday meetings. The existing form can be used (although see (b) below). Material needs to be handed to Bill France, Richard Robbins or Tim Griffiths, one of whom will, baring disaster, be present at the usual 7.15-7.30 time. b) For those that would prefer to type their lists for sale rather than handwrite them, this will be actively encouraged. Tim can send you an e-mailable form that will be in the same layout as the auction catalogue. This will save him having to type it too! The list, when returned, needs to be sent to [email protected] . The material can be handed over in the normal way. c) Material can also by arrangement be handed to one of the organizers elsewhere on request. d) Packet-type material should not be sealed so as to deny inspection, please. e) There is a reminder below for Vendors re payment and collection of unsold material

Additional Notes for Vendors

1. Payment for Sales by cheque Those of you that are due a payment by cheque, (which will apply to all that have sold lots for a sum in excess of £50 and others that are used to being paid by cheque or are unable to collect cash payments) should please note that payments will be made three weeks from the date of the auction to allow the auction cashier to get cheques to the bank and for them to be cleared into the society bank account.

2. Collection of cheques and cash for Sales Cheques will normally be brought to the club the third Thursday after the auction for collection, or sooner if that proves possible. Those of you that collect payments in cash (for smaller sales) can, on most occasions, still receive payment the week following the auction. If you cannot collect your money by the third Thursday after the auction, please contact Richard to make alternative arrangements for collection. We are happy to hold the cash back in an envelope for collection at the next auction night/viewing night if that is easier.
