Lots will be sold at one advance over the second highest bid. If only one bid is
received, the lot will be sold at the minimum bid. In the event of identical bids
on the same lot, the lot will be awarded to the first bid received. No bids below
the minimum level will be accepted. A 10 percent buyer's commission will be added
to the selling price and charged to the successful bidder.
- The right to remove any lot
from this sale is reserved.
- Photocopies of lots are
available for 25 cents for each lot, except for bulk lots. A SASE is

- $50.01 to $100.00 -- $5.00
- $100.01 to $250.00 --

PAYMENTS
- Successful bidders will be
notified by mail and must remit in full before any lots are sent.
Buyers are expected to remit immediately upon receipt of the notice.
Payment must be sent to the Auction Chairperson, payable to him. Failure
to remit payment will carry SHP membership penalties. Payments may be
made by personal or bank check in U.S. dollars only.
- All postage costs for
mailing lots, including insurance and registration, a 1.00 handling

constitute acceptance of the foregoing conditions of sale.

published in a subsequent auction listing.
CALL FOR CONSIGNMENTS OF HUNGARIAN
AND RELATED PHILATELIC MATERIAL
FOR INCLUSION IN THE 2010 SHP
QUARTERLY AUCTIONS
Consignments are currently being accepted for the SHP
2010 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 charged 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.
- Lots with faults must be so
described. Failure to comply with the rules may result in the
rejection of material.

an item is at the discretion of the Chairperson.

(without obligo), unless stated
otherwise.
