Videos of some lots are here. As an experiment, Archduke Eugen invites you to view "page-turning videos" of some stockbooks and similar. His portrait in the list-of-pictures means that a video is available. Don't click his picture - it only annoys him. The pictures of the larger lots, and the videos, may not show every sheet.

Important notes:
- From this homepage, every link takes you to a "spawning" page. When you close that, you'll come back to your previous page.
- This sale comprises the lifetime's accumulation of two of our older members, plus an excellent range of other items.
- This is a postal/email-and-room auction. It's open for bidding now.
- Start-prices in the final column of the listing are reserve-prices in British Pounds. These are a safety-net for vendors and are usually set low. They are not an estimate of value, which would normally be much higher. Lots will be purchased for you at the lowest-possible price, i.e. at the reserve or at one bidding-step above an under-bidder. If equal bids are received for a lot, the first received will take precedence. Postal bids therefore have precedence over equal room-bids. There is no buyer's premium.
- Postal or email (but NOT phone, fax, text, telepathy, or carrier pigeon) bids must reach the Virtual Auctioneer [auctioneer@austrianphilately.com] by 22:00 on Friday 8 September 2023. If you do not receive an acknowledgement within 3 working days, complain to Andy Taylor [andy@kitzbuhel.co.uk].
- The bidding steps are given on the postal bidding form, but they apply however you bid - and are £1 up to £15, then in £5 steps to £100 and £10 thereafter.
Nonconforming bids will be rounded DOWN: so £19.99 equals a bid of £15. "Buy it!" and similar exhortations will be taken as a bid of TEN times the reserve. Because this is a live room-auction, we cannot cope with complex bids such as "maximum expenditure £100" or "If I don't win lot 20, bid for me on lot 21".
- If emailing bids, please include your actual name in the text of the email in case we don't know who bigdog@commons is!
- The room auction will take place on Saturday 16 September at the annual Fest, in the Bull Hotel Peterborough. All the lots will be available to view from 16:30, and the sale will begin about 17:30. And you can bid in person and take your winnings away post-free!
- Post'n'packing is charged extra at cost. Customs importing duties and the like, if charged, are outwith our control and are payable by the buyer.
