QUARTERLY AUCTIONS
Consignments are currently being accepted for the SHP
2003 AUCTIONS. Lots will be accepted for future auctions based on the
published closing dates for each auction.
Auction listings will be sent out in the preceding
quarterly issue of The News of
Hungarian Philately for the current auction. Lots will be accepted on a
first-come, first-served basis. No consignor may place more than 20 lots in
any one mini-auction. Any material received after the published closing
date, will be held for inclusion in the next mini-auction. Unsold lots will
be returned to the owner after the close-out of the auction at the owner's
expense.
- Each item, including
literature, must be Hungarian-related.
- Each lot must have a minimum
bid of $5.00.
- Each lot should be enclosed
in a protective mount, glassine envelope or other appropriate
protective cover and must be accompanied by a description in
English and a Scott or Magyar Bélyegek Katalógusa (MBK) catalog number.
- Lots must be sent to the
Auction Chairperson by insured or registered mail. Neither SHP nor the
Auction Chairperson will accept responsibility for any material
shipped without such coverage. Return postage, insurance or
registration fees for unsold lots, will be charge to the owner.
- Every effort will be made
to assure the protection and safety of the material while in the
possession of the Auction Chairperson. In the unlikely event of fire,
storm, theft or other act resulting in damage or loss, neither SHP nor
the Chairperson, can accept responsibility for such loss.
- A commission of 10 percent
of the realized price will be retained by SHP from buyers and sellers
for the benefit of the Society.
