[See also our Live Online Auction in five sessions over Monday 12 May and Tuesday 13 May 2025, which have a separate catalogue.]
Welcome to our latest and biggest online timed auction, which sees us continuing our serious effort to shift items from our stock as I move towards semi-retirement - there are single items, covers, small collections, some modest wholesale batches, and cheaper lots.

The sale is now live and you can bid on any lots. At 8:00am BST on Wednesday 14 May the first lot will end, the next twenty seconds later, another twenty seconds after that, and so on until 11:00pm.

To avoid confusion with our live auction, the first lot number in this sale is 2000.

INSTRUCTIONS AND RULES for online bidders;

If you are new to this platform, please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions - both for Easy Live Auction and for ourselves. You must register with Easy Live Auction before you make any online bids. Easy Live Auction charge a fee of 3% + v.a.t. (= 3.6%) on the selling price, which we collect on their behalf (there is no option for the single up-front fee in timed auctions). No bids will be accepted below the lower estimate price. Estimates and bidding are in Pounds Sterling (GBP).

VIEWING; Viewing in person is restricted, but can can arranged at our shop by appointment. Extra information about lots is available - all requests will be considered.

TELEPHONES; Our phone lines are only staffed at certain times. Our answering machine will always give a note of these times for the coming days. Please contact us with any enquiries or bids as early as possible.

NB some catalogue prices in the lot listings are from older editions, as some of the cataloguing work is done from home without always having latest catalogues to hand.

Our Buyer’s Premium is 14.4% (12% + v.a.t.)
