David Parmley wanted to say “thank you” to all who participated in his last auction in January. In the end there were 45 buyers and 37 % of lots sold.
For this next auction 16 vendors have entered 575 lots of which 65% (370 lots) are newly listed and the re-offered items have generally been discounted significantly so there is plenty to interest everyone. The new listings start with lot 205. As David explained after previous auctions there will be no unsold lots offered as there is so little interest and the process only serves to delay closure and pay the vendors. Please see the notes after the listing.
Non-members may bid in our auctions for a temporary membership of £2 which will be collected via the won lots statement. We hope this will provide collectors of all French material with an additional opportunity to enhance their collections. It should also provide a first-hand experience of the benefits which the society can offer and perhaps encourage like-minded philatelists to join the society. These fees would be deducted from a subsequent membership application.
Should you wish to join the Society and enjoy all the benefits of membership the Membership Form may be downloaded here.
_________________________
Three auctions annually are carried out via postal or email bids. The material is as described by Members who also set the reserve prices. Full instructions on how to bid etc. are enclosed within the catalogue.
Items for sale in the auction are welcomed, see the instructions outlined in each auction catalogue. Please support the auctions by adding to your collections. Much hard work goes into running them and the reserves are lower than dealer prices! The Society also benefits from the 10% commission charged to vendors.
