- They offer the chance for members of the NPS to buy and sell
stamps, postal history and philatelic literature.
We regret however that we cannot accept material for sale in the Auction
from NPS members living outside the European Union, since the Society cannot
accept liability for VAT charged on entry into the UK.
Bids can be accepted from Members wherever they may live, subject to any
trading restrictions with a particular country and the member being responsible
for any customs duties that may arise on the arrival of the purchases in your
country.
- 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!
- Surplus NPS Library literature is normally sold via separate Literature
Auctions that the Society runs from time to time.
- CATALOGUES are published
for each sale and an example (with Results) can be viewed on this Web site at
NPS Auction Catalogue. Members may have the monthly catalogues sent to them by
e-mail - simply request that this be done by e-mailing nps@ukphilately.org.uk,
indicating also if you wish to have the Results e-mailed to you as well - or
through the post (add £4 Annual Subscription to cover postage). They may
also be picked up, free, from the NPS at the British Philatelic Centre - so why
not pay us a visit? The catalogue for next month's auction is usually available
at the Saturday Monthly meetings.
- VIEWING takes places from 11.15 a.m. on the morning of the Auction,
but for those not able to attend on the day, Lots may also be viewed at 107
Charterhouse Street, London EC1M 6PT on certain days during the week of the
Auction. Members should first telephone 020 7490 9610 to make
arrangements and so avoid a wasted journey. Lots are not available for postal
viewing.
- The monthly auction is room and postal bidding - so have a look at
- and then why not take part - but, sorry, only if you're a member of NPS.
Our Constitution does not permit non-members to enter the fun. That can easily
be remedied simply by going to How to Join the
NPS!
- Want to know what happened to those lots you didn't buy? Simply
e-mail us for details of what the
most recent Auction's lots were sold for, or if you wish to have the results
e-mailed to you automatically each month (until you say otherwise).
- The Philatelic Auctioneers' Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale (1973
revision) apply.
- Correspondence sent by post regarding the Auction MUST be addressed to The
Hon General Secretary, NPS, 107 Charterhouse Street, London, EC1M 6PT. Please
do not use the words "Philatelic" or "Auction" when
addressing the envelope.

i.e. do not abbreviate to "NPS".
- The decision of the Hon Auctioneer shall be final in respect of any
dispute that may arise.
