Dear Members,
A big welcome from your new Honorary Auctioneer! It is with some trepidation that I step into the shoes of Colin Tobitt, who has performed this valuable role for the Society for thirteen years.
I am making a few changes, some of which will be obvious from the presentation of the catalogue. Please also note that the values in column 4 are reserve prices, in pounds sterling. In the last column, click the "Y" to open an illustration in a separate window (and close it when you've fiinished looking at it!)
One important change will not be immediately obvious. Once I have cleared the unsold lots from Colins last two auctions, I will generally not be re-offering unsold items in future auctions. This will enable me to offer in each auction fresh material that you have not seen before. For buyers, this means that you will need to bid for an item you want the first time it is listed. Dont hold back hoping it will reappear next time at a lower price because you will be disappointed. For sellers, this means that you need to offer an attractive reserve first time; you wont get a second chance.
I will be putting details of unsold items on the website soon after the auction closes: go to http://www.austrianphilately.com/auction/unsolds.htm. These can be purchased from me at the reserve price. First come, first served!
We have a bumper Auction 106 with five hundred lots dating from 1800 to 2011, and with reserve prices from £3 to £100. I hope that there is something to interest everyone. May I particularly draw your attention to: two good consignments of pre-stamp mail, one from Silesia and one from South Tyrol; several first-class classic covers from the 1850s and 1860s; a good selection of stamp-sets from the First Republic; some excellent Anschluss material; a batch of 1950s first-day covers - not so easy to find now - and some unusual modern material. And there is as always plenty to interest the many enthusiasts of railway TPOs and WW1 feldpost. Note that items from the Third Reich are offered only for philatelic and research purposes.
To whet your appetite for Auction 107, I am currently breaking down a consignment of 1920s inflation-covers and a fine collection of 1850-1918 Austrian Silesia. I still have room for more lots; please contact me if you have material to sell.
My sincere thanks to Andy Taylor who has helped me format the catalogue for printing and to load it on to the website. Very special thanks to the fifteen sellers who have consigned material to this auction. Now it is the buyers turn; good hunting!

If you would like more information about any of the lots, please do not hesitate to contact me. E-mailed scans can be supplied free of charge (within reason). Photocopies can be supplied at 10p per sheet plus postage.
Lots will be purchased for you at the lowest-possible price, i.e. at the reserve or one bidding-step above an underbidder. If equal bids are received for a lot, the first I receive will take precedence. There has been a small change to the bidding steps, which are set out in full on the bidding form.
If the amount you would like to bid for in the auction would, if successful, exceed your monthly philatelic budget, please have a word with me. It may be possible for you to spread your payment over three months.
Remember that I do not intend to re-offer material in this auction, so bid now or regret it forever!
Like all auctioneers, I am keen to receive more material for future auctions, especially from new vendors. Be honest! - you have material you no longer collect, have got bored with, will never get round to sorting, or have in duplicate. Why not turn the material into cash, and create some much-needed space at the same time?
Remember though that this is a club auction, the main purpose of which is for members to exchange duplicate or unwanted material. Reserve prices should therefore be club-prices, not dealer-prices or E-bay-prices.
You can do your own lotting, describing and pricing, or you can send it to me in a shoebox and I will do it for you. Individual lots should have a minimum price of £3. Cheaper items should be grouped (e.g. 20 items for £20). It helps me considerably if you can send a list of your material on a four-column spread-sheet as an email attachment. But, dont worry if you dont have the technology to do this; I will deal with it in any form.
We charge only 10% commission, plus a lotting fee of 10 pence per lot. I look forward to hearing from you.
