*** IMPORTANT - READ ALL THIS BEFORE BIDDING/ BUYING ! ***
WITH AUCTION ITEMS POSTAGE CHARGES MIGHT CHANGE DEPENDING ON THE FINAL SELLING PRICE SO PLEASE DON’T PAY UNTIL I HAVE INVOICED YOU !
CUSTOMS FEES, TAXES, ETC:
Foreign buyers note: Custom duties, fees, tax and any other charges that might apply are the responsibility of the buyer and not the seller. I will not enter incorrect item value information on any customs declaration form (it's illegal - so please do not ask). Make sure you do your own local research before bidding/buying so that you know what any fees are (if applicable) - and to be ready to pay them! Sales to buyers in EU Countries - from 1 July 2021 goods are sent on a "Delivery Duty Unpaid" (DDU) basis. DDU is where recipients in the EU pays any customs, duties and/or fees AFTER their goods have arrived in the destination country. In this scenario, local customs contact the recipient, who must pay any outstanding charges before their goods are released for final delivery. But note - I send most overseas small stamp lot items in a small handwritten (non-commercial) envelope.
Why not combine with other stamp lots (within 7 calendar days) and save on postage - request combined invoice BEFORE PAYING (too late afterwards!) then pay just the once!
ITEM DESCRIPTION:
RUSSIA 1864-65 Arms: 30k. SG17 p13.5 wove no wmk. VFU CDS HCV £90 (083).
Nice example with CDS cancel and no hinge remains - see scan/s for condition. Starting to clear my surplus Russia stamps (1858-1991) - I have 10x thick 64-page stockbooks full of them - all stored in date order! If there are specific Russia issues not listed here that you are after, contact me with your enquiries. See high resolution HONEST scan/s for condition as these contractually form part of the item description. Enjoy the good high-res scan/s for stamp condition (USUALLY BOTH SIDES with higher CV). Bid/ buy with confidence - with 'Ruskystamps' and 'Ser*e*ndipity' stamp lots you SEE what you are getting! Please ask any questions BEFORE bidding/buying!
HUGE CLEAR OUT OF DUPLICATE / UNWANTED STAMPS: Clearing out my surplus/duplicate stamps from Russia, Canada, Newfoundland, Romania and GB. Also some British Commonwealth and World stamps from my late father's collection. With most of the latter, these are not from countries I personally collect (my specialisation is Russia), so my knowledge is limited - because of this I cannot guarantee accurate descriptions, SG / Scott numbers and/or listing categories!
Pricing: I try and keep my prices competitive - my BIN prices for Russian stamps are largely based on: SG Russia Part 10 (7th Edition) specialised catalogue values; known stamp condition (very honest with this and most stamps are scanned both sides); scarcity; general market conditions. There is also a "dynamic" nature to my prices in that they can rise or fall (sometimes between relisting) based on similar stamps being offered on eBay. Some stamps have a minimum price (usually £1.95) regardless of catalogue value (CV) because of the amount of time time it takes to scan stamps properly, crop them in Photoshop, list (and sometimes relist) them on eBay. I also go out of my way to regularly list individual stamps including often low value ones to help collectors fill gaps in their collection. I am a stamp collector, NOT a dealer!
