Information for Vendors

We are now inviting entries for our forthcoming sales on 4th October 2008 and 17th January 2009.

We offer a guaranteed payment date for vendors with cheques posted seven working days following the Auction (second Tuesday after the sale).

Entries can be delivered to Stoneleigh on 12th July. However, please forward a list or phone us beforehand with brief details. Alternatively, items can be delivered to Woodford Halse or Banbury by arrangement. In some cases collection can be arranged.

It is to your advantage to enter items at the earliest possible opportunity to enable us to advertise in The Railway Magazine and many other periodicals in which we have a full page monthly advert, undertake any research necessary and photograph and catalogue your lots.

A reserve or guide price can be placed (agreed with the Auctioneer at the time of entry) on items for which we estimate a value of £100 or above. Please note, however, that we can sell almost any Railwayana and that with over 3000 catalogues distributed your entries will receive maximum exposure.
