ear Philatelist, Welcome to the Richard Allan 304th Auction. Please note that this auction closes on a Wednesday and not the usual Friday. The last auction was another bumper one showing that key material is popular and keenly contested. After most auctions, we do get asked by quite a few bidders as to why they missed out on items they were desperate for. We quote starting prices instead of estimates and the market is very healthy so whilst many items may sell at the starting price, the more popular and the more difficult items have more keen bidders. In this catalogue, there are some countries, not always so popular, so you will notice that we have actually lowered the starting price level to attract more interest. This auction again contains much interesting material, starting off with a few bumper collections so enjoy. Whilst we enjoy sending the catalogues free of charge, it is at this time of year that we have to review our ever growing mailing list, as the costs of producing the catalogues continue to grow, so only if we have not heard from you for a while, a bid form sent into us will help us to continue sending catalogues.. You can bid Online Interactively at Richard Allan web site http://livebidding.richardallan.co.uk
