Website auction news.

Our March auction lots are currently being uploaded.

Ebay Seller news.

Please take a look at our Ebay seller site: keithstamps5000 for a further selection of stamps (singles, pages, collections), covers, postcards, presentation packs, second hand stock books and many other philatelic items.

We have been advised by Ebay, that as from 4th February 2025 they will be including a 75p Buyer Protection Fee to every lot listed, along with 4% on the final selling cost (we are awaiting to see if this means the final selling fees as they are at present will cease, or if these costs are ‘on top’ of what is already paid by us).

From 1st November 2024, insertion fees are incurred for any items listed, over and above the lowered selling limit imposed by Ebay. As the majority of our items start from £1, we will be utilising the Buy it now section of our website more, to make this more cost effective for us and to keep our selling prices low for you.

Simon Goldblatt QC (Dec’d) estate

Since late 2022, we have made a very slow start in sorting out the enormous range of material that belonged to Simon Goldblatt QC. The contents of his flat have filled two storage units and our office and it will take many years of patient reviewing of several million stamps and philatelic material to be able to present these at auction. However, we have made a start and each of our auctions in the future will contain a greater proportion of his collection.
