Please see the Terms & Conditions for more information
Please note that the following are different to the Mail Bid Sale Terms & Conditions.)
1. All bids must be made in British Pounds (£ Sterling).

2. A buyers premium of 22% which is inclusive of an amount in lieu of VAT will be added to the hammer price of each lot.

3. The submission of a bid is a contract between the bidder and Sandafayre (Holdings) Ltd. to purchase all lots where the bid is successful. Cheshire Stamp Auctions is a trading name of Sandafayre (Holdings) Ltd.

4. Payment is due immediately upon notification of success. Payments made later than 14 days of the date of the auction will result in additional charge equalling 5% of the outstanding amount being charged and 2% each month thereafter. Payments by credit card will ensure a speedy despatch. There is no extra charge for paying by credit card. If you have stored your credit/debit card details in a Sandafayre.com web account and you have given us permission to use the card for all future Sandafayre purchases, we cannot use this information to charge your card at this public auction.

5. Sandafayre shall not be liable for omissions or errors made by clients when submitting bids.

6. Return of Lots: It is the buyers responsibility to inspect the lots and / or make enquiries prior to the auction and we do not give refunds or make any guarantees in regard to collections, accumulations, stocks or any other type of multi- item lot which includes items not specifically described even if the buyers complaint relates to a specifically described item or group. Individually described items or sets which are not part of a larger collection or group which are forged or reprinted but not described as such or otherwise not as described can be returned for a refund WITHIN 14 DAYS of the date of auction or Sandafayre must be informed WITHIN 14 DAYS of the date of auction that the lot is being returned. Similarly items or sets with alteration or damage not mentioned in our description where such alteration or damage could not reasonably be identified from photographs, scans or other images made available before the auction can also be returned for a refund WITHIN 14 DAYS of the date of auction or Sandafayre must be informed WITHIN 14 DAYS of the date of auction that the lot is being returned UNLESS AN EXTENTION has been requested.

7. Extensions. An extension request must be agreed to by Sandafayre prior to the beginning of the auction sale. An extension request cannot be considered by Sandafayre after the auction sale has begun. An ‘extension’ allows the buyer to seek a written opinion from a recognised expert or committee of experts which will take more than 14 days to obtain (see 6, above) yet protect the buyers rights to return a misdescribed individual item for a refund. Extension requests must be made in writing stating the lot number and the reason for the extension request. We can then grant or reject an extension on that lot. We grant extension requests to confirm identification, genuineness and the extent of faults or alterations not discernible from the image(s) provided. We generally do NOT grant an extension on any element of the stamp visible from the image(s) on our website, this will include but not exclusively such elements as creases, stains, marks, dirt, fading, paper colour, freshness even if such elements are not mentioned in the description. In short, the image forms part of the description. The practical outcome of the above policy is that only lots 1) misidentified and 2) with faults or repairs not apparent to the eye when the lot is inspected under the magnification available on our website will qualify for refund. The lot(s) must be paid for within 14 days of the auction and we will mail it/them to either the RPSL or BPA on your behalf. You are responsible for any certification charge / fees.

8. Overseas cheques not drawn on British Banks must have the equivalent of £10 added to cover bank charges. This method is very costly and can delay the despatch of purchases up to six weeks. CREDIT CARDS ENSURE A SPEEDY DESPATCH OF YOUR LOTS, YOUR ACCOUNT IS SETTLED IN STERLING TO THE FULL INVOICE VALUE AND YOU ARE DEBITED IN YOUR OWN CURRENCY.

9. Bidding increments:
£1 - £25 £1 steps
£25 - £100, £5 steps
£100-£300, £10 steps
£300 - £1000, £25 steps

£10,000 auctioneers discretion.

11. The Auctioneer's Discretion.
