Dear Philatelist,

Welcome to auction 286 which we are pleased to say is 30% larger than usual with over 1000 lots, partly due to the help of the recent arrival of Mark & Paul.

You should also notice that this auction has a larger diversity of worldwide countries which we hope will appeal.

We have noticed recently that some lots may sell for very reasonable prices, but it has also been noticed that scarcer, unusual, very fine & more difficult to find items, are fetching higher prices showing the healthy state of the stamp market as collectors want to fill those tricky spaces.

We are a late participator at this years Stampex, so with a different STAND 80 position to usual. We shall have most lots from this auction for viewing & in addition will have more than normal for immediate sale as we have just returned from abroad with a close to 100 kilo multi volume world collection.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Regards,
All at Richard Allan


 

HOW TO BID SUCCESSFULLY IN
RICHARD ALLAN SALES AND OUR T&C'S

Reserve and Starting Prices
Our summer experiment continues following it's successful appeal.

*All bids are CONFIDENTIAL*
Bids are ENTERED IN ORDER RECEIVED or POSTING DATE
*TELEPHONE BIDS are acceptable 0207 379 5439
*MAIL YOUR BIDS EARLY–the first bid received of equal bids will be successful.

Our system works simply – as follows:
Example 1: On a lot estimated at £50, 2 bids are received: Mr.A bids £60 and Mr.B bids £90 clearly anxious to buy, Mr. B will succeed, but HE WILL ONLY PAY £65 i.e. one step above the second highest bid.
Example 2: Mr. C bids £150 on a lot estimated at £50 and no other
bids above estimate are received. The lot will sell to him for £50.

WE DO NOT MANUFACTURE SPURIOUS UNDERBIDS.
