INSTRUCTIONS AND TERMS OF SALE
Viewing
Arrangements.
Due to the current pandemic, we are unable to
offer viewing for this auction.
Scanning/Photocopying. Please ensure that requests are within reason
and made before Monday 18th May.
If exceeding 15 files i.e. 15 pages or 15 singles (back and front), please note
that a small administrative fee may be added to your account.
We will be operating this auction entirely
from our homes, therefore, we have limited access to stock and images are
reduced. Please keep this in mind when making your requests for scans.
Please
be advised that email, web bids and telephone are the most reliable means of
bidding during lockdown and post will only be collected once per week.
This
is not a live auction so you do not need to attend.
Bids are ‘postal only’ and can be made by email, telephone, fax, post or by
visiting our website www.mpastamps.com.
Estimated
Values.
Bids should be made in GBP (British Pounds Sterling) only and in whole pounds.
Pence will not be taken into consideration and bids below 70% of the estimate
may not be entered at all. Estimates are based on realisations from previous
sales or at the describer’s discretionary and professional opinion.
Catalogue
Numbers and Values are
from Stanley Gibbons (SG) catalogues unless shown otherwise. Values are
applicable as of the date of describing so variations are possible. Numbers and
values taken from other catalogues normally refer accordingly (e.g. Michel/Mi,
Yvert/Yv, Scott, etc.) and usually show the £Stg/GBP equivalent of that
catalogue value.
Quantities
for lots are shown where possible. For logistical reasons bulky lots will be
shown with an approximate figure only, often denoted with ‘approx’ or similar.
All reasonable care is taken in preparing figures; whilst accuracy is intended
and offered in earnest, statistics and values must be understood as those of
opinion and not as resolute fact.
Certificates.
Lots where the item (or main item(s) within lot) has certification mentioned in
the description, are offered based on the opinion expressed therein, which, may
or may not reflect the views of Mayfair Philatelics Ltd. If extension for
certification is required, this must be registered with us when the bid is
placed, or by the close of sale at the latest. Requests beyond this point will
not be fulfilled.
Value
Added Tax (VAT).
All stamps are sold under margin scheme rules, mostly for ‘Global Accounting’.
No extra need be added within the EU and no export discount applies outside the
EU. For import/export and VAT purposes
stamps are treated as pre-owned, therefore, no VAT is added to the overall
price nor is it subject to reclaim or discounts.

Mail Special Delivery (+£2.00 to cover packing and tax). Larger/Heavier and
international shipping varies depending on weight, value and client location.
