Because auction catalogs are printed in limited numbers they become collectible right after the sale of that particular auction. Inturn we go directly to the source & acquire whatever is available before they are completely sold out.  You'll find we offer an extensive selection of auction catalogs on Ebay at Discounted Prices - we pride ourselves to answer your specific ?? of need quickly and handle your purchases professionally from Start-to-Finnish!!!! 

 

 

 

ON MULTIPLE PURCHASES YOU CAN BID & BUY OVER A 10 DAY PERIOD - IF YOU WISH - & WE'LL SEND YOU COMBINED SHIPPING CHARGE (SAVING YOU $$) INCLUDED WITH YOUR INVOICE. 

  

Shipping:

Domestic

For shipping within the USA we will use USPS Priority Mail flat rate envelope for one catalog - we find this to be the most reliable with quick delivery times. With two or more catalogs being shipped we'll try to fit what we can into one USPS Priority flat rate envelope (which is very cost effective)  - BUT you can check with us first to make sure if we can.

On multiple or larger quantity purchases (i.e., two or more catalogs) we default to USPS Priority Mail flat rate box (FYI up to 2 to10 catalogs in each box depending on the size of the catalogs - which saves you $$ on combined sales) or combined media mail for larger quantities.

If the catalog is oversized (FYI the oversized catalogs will not fit into a P.M. envelope) or upon request USPS Media mail shipping for a normal size catalog.

 

International

For the majority of our international customers one normal size catalog via USPS Priority flat rate. Please note: we can sometimes fit 2 catalogs into one USPS Priority flat-rate envelope within the 4 U.S. pound weight limit - BUT check with us first to make sure if we can . 

A great feature that is now available is USPS Priority Mail flat-rate box which means we can put up to 7-10 catalogs (depending on the size of the catalogs) via airmail into one box for a great rate - giving you great savings & quick service on multiple catalogs!!!

FYI If the catalog is too large and/or heavy for USPS Priority flat rate envelope we'll default to USPS Priority flat rate box or USPS 1st class mail whichever is cheaper or doable.
