Considering your options |
|
It is important for everyone to achieve the best possible price when it is time to dispose of an asset and Grosvenor exists to assist you in this regard.

The benefits of public auction |
|
Selling your stamps by public auction ensures that you will not be sold short. Grosvenor 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.

Exceptional results |
|
Direct sale may seem to have advantages in terms of speed but it would be unusual to find the most generous buyer by other means than auction sale. Grosvenor will keep vendors informed at all stages of the selling process and we are able to provide proof descriptions before sale if required.

Whose side are we on? |
|
Grosvenor 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.

Quality of service |
|
Grosvenor offers a personal service unusual in these times. As a result perhaps of our independent status we have an approach which is both flexible and friendly, allowing, for example, commission rates which are negotiable and always more than competitive.

Advertising and publicity |
|
Auctions are advertised regularly in both the philatelic press and study circle journals. 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 Probate, Insurance or other reasons are available on request. These fees may be refunded should the collection subsequently be sold through us. Full confidentiality is assured at all times. |
