Collectibles Corner
was started in 2001 offering small collectibles in mail bid and private
treaty sales.
For the previous ten years I had worked
with Whyte's who specialised in public auctions of Stamps, Postal History
and other collectibles
The aim has been to offer
hard-to-find and unusual items, individually or in small groups, in mail
bid sales (postal auctions) with no buyer's commission.
Each sale has about 500 lots,
typically estimated at €30 - €100.
In addition there are regular
First Come First Served Lists, where items are offered at a fixed price
on a "first come, first served" basis.
For both of these printed
catagues are posted out and the listing is posted on this website.
There are also occasional
web-only BIN Lists (Buy It Now) to browse.
