2 How to make 10 free 417 from Alliance Auctions We all know how costs rise year by year. Printing costs go up, paper prices go up, so do envelopes let alone postage. We love to send out catalogues but it is getting prohibitively expensive. Therefore just send us your address and each month we will advise you when the catalogue is online. We will advise you again 2 days before the sale. If you do this then you get a 10 voucher to spend in our sales We know some of you like to have a paper catalogue, and of course, if you do we will happily continue to supply these as we do at the moment Alliance Auctions 411

3 Terms of Business Purchasers n The auction is conducted under the Philatelic Auctioneers Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale (1973 Revision). The placing of a bid is taken as full agreement to these. For Postal Bidders we will buy on your behalf at the lowest possible price, subject only to other bids received or reserves. Please do not bid below our house reserve of 80% of estimate, as these are unlikely to succeed. Please check your bids as we cannot accept the return of any lots bid on in error.

There is a handling fee of 2 for packing & insurance, applied to each consignment. n Please avoid phoning for results the day after the sale, as we are exceptionally busy. We try to despatch lots the week of the sale, but it may take up to a week to complete this task. Please bear with us. n We do strive for complete customer satisfaction and will accept the return of lots for an immediate refund, however as we have a duty to pay our vendors promptly 60 days after the sale, no returned lots can be accepted beyond 28 days from the date of the auction. NO EXCEPTIONS can be made unless an extension is requested when bidding. In line with this policy, unpaid pro-forma invoices will be cancelled 42 days after the sale and the lots returned to the Vendor.

Overseas customers paying in currency other than Sterling must add 6 to their invoices to cover bank charges. After 28 days unpaid invoices will have interest added at the rate of 2% per calendar month or part month. n Postal viewing facilities are regrettably not available. However a photocopying service is available free for all lots except collections. Vendors n There is a commission rate of 10% (plus VAT) for Vendors and payment will be made 60 days after the sale, subject to payment having been received by us. There is a minimum commission of 4 per lot sold. There are no unsold charges providing we agree with the reserve prices. n When consigning items, please ensure a minimum lot value of 50 and total consignment value of 200.
