This gives you time to look through the catalogue and get your bids in. We also send a reminder when the auction is closing. This means if you haven't sent them in, you still have time to phone or email (it will probably be to late to post them). It is also a time when you can check that your bids have been received and how are they doing. We also send an email out after the auction has closed, to let you know that realisations and unsold lists are available to download.

Newsletters are emails sent out via Mail Chimp to everyone signed up. We do not send lots of emails because we know people get bored and unsubscribe because they are being bombarded with emails.

Testimonials

I found your website very helpful, in particular the FAQs and the friendly way the website comes across made me feel comfortable about approaching you.

Viv

As a vendor I say many thanks for your hard work and support, I should have put lots for sale with AVH from day 1.

Lorne from Sussex

For afew years I've been submitting philatelic material to AVH, has been a real joy and a pleasure: over and above near faultless handling of this material has been his quick reaction to queries. Also freely given sound advice on how to negotiate those tricky situations that inevitably arise within the trade. It is comforting to work with people who are cheerfully prepared to peel back that final hinge to help identify the most obscure item.

Mike from Amersham

I’ve been successful in AVH Auctions. Transactions went smoothly and quickly. I have been impressed with the service received. The stamps were as described in the catalogue and I have been very pleased with them. If lots come up in future auctions that I am interested in I will certainly be placing bids. I would certainly recommend AVH Stamp Auctions.

Pat From Hertfordshire

An easy website to negotiate. No flowery language, just common sense descriptions, which is what true collectors require.
