Bid Guidelines

a) Enter on the bid form each lot of interest with the maximum price you are prepared to pay. Lots shall be secured at as low a price as reserves and other bids allow.

b) In the case of equal bids the first received takes precedence.

c) Bidding Steps as Follows:

£5 upto £100 estimate
£10 upto £500 estimate
£50 upto £1000 estimate
£1000 and above at auctioneers discretion.

Bids not conforming to these steps shall be taken at the auctioneers discretion.

d) Estimates are the indicated price, which are, in our opinion a fair reflection on the current market value. To buy successfully the upper limit of our spread estimate would have a greater chance of success.

e) Descriptions are as accurate as possible. Each lot is sold as genuine unless decided by an approved certificate board or as stated in the description.

f) Viewing facilities are available by appointment at our offices. Photocopies may be obtained for small lots (covers and single stamps) at a cost of 50p for the first copy and 20p thereafter per sheet. Fax copies are available at £1 per sheet for inland clients and £3 per sheet for overseas clients. Payable in advance by credit card.

g) All lots are dispatched by Royal Mail tracked delivery service, proof of sending by PHILANGLES LTD to the advised address shall constitute delivery.

h) Clients requiring expertisation of single stamps/covers must state as such at the time of bidding. Costs are borne by the client if the item is certified genuine, PHILANGLES LTD will reimburse costs if the item is certified otherwise.
