  We regret however that we cannot accept material for sale in the Auction from National PS members living outside the European Union, since the Society cannot accept liability for VAT charged on entry into the UK.

• Each sale comprises 400 or more lots that vary in price from £2 (reserve) upwards of £100. There is generally something for everyone including specialized items and the more common material from all around the world. Bargains are not unheard of!
  
  
  
• CATALOGUES are published for each sale and an example (with Results) can be viewed on this Web site at National PS Auction Catalogue.
