>> Considering your options
It is important for everyone to achieve the best possible price when
it is time to dispose of an asset and Cape Philatelics exists to
assist you in this regard.
>> The benefits of public auction
Cape Philatelics provides contact with thousands of buyers worldwide
who will compete to buy the stamps they seek. High quality
catalogues coupled with skilled presentation provide buyers with the
market where they can buy with confidence.
>> Whose side are we on?
Cape Philatelics acts as your agent to sell your collection on your
behalf. As we operate on a commission basis it is also in our own
interest that the figure achieved is as high as possible. Of course,
it is also our responsibility to accurately present material being
sold and great care is taken that the buyer can bid with full
confidence in our descriptions.
>> Advertising and publicity
Auctions are advertised regularly in both the philatelic press. Our
extensive international client records also allow us to target
important specialist collectors when appropriate.
>> Charges
It is not our normal practice to impose hidden charges such as
'minimum', 'lotting' or 'unsold' fees. Vendors are charged a simple
percentage of the total sale result, varying from client to client
depending on the nature of the collection. This percentage will
normally be lower than offered elsewhere. A copy of our standard
Terms and Conditions of Sale is available on request and is provided
with your receipt when material is received. VAT at the current rate
is added to charges made.
>> Valuations
Our specialists are pleased to visit the homes or offices of clients
considering sale and such visits are normally without charge or
obligation. Please contact us for details of our next visit to your
area. Details of fees for valuations undertaken for the purpose of
Insurance is available on request. These fees may be refunded should
the collection subsequently be sold through us. Full confidentiality
is assured at all times.
