1. We guarantee the authenticity of individual lots (stamps, covers and related material
not limited to proofs, essays and specimens) for a period of 5 years. Lots composed of
several stamps or letters which are not individually described are specifically excluded
from this guarantee.
The submission of an offer on an individual lot with an expert’s certificate or signature
signifies the buyer’s acceptance of this expertise and excludes that lot from any claims based
on the opinion of another expert. If the buyer wants the advice of another expert, he must
inform us with his offer.
2. The lots can be viewed either in our offices or at the place of sale, at the times
mentioned in the catalogue or on our website.
3. The customer is responsible for all damage caused while handling the stamps.

giving any justification.

2.1 A reclamation (for an individual lot) concerning the quality, an error of description or any
other request, must be notified to us upon receipt of the goods, but always within 30 days after
the sale. Otherwise, the customer loses the right to any return or adjustment.

examine them personally or through an agent.
We do not accept the return of a lot if it has been intentionally altered by the buyer.

at most 2 weeks after the day of the sale. A return based on any expertise obtained by the
buyer upon receipt of his goods, but without our approval, will not be accepted.
3. All auction bids must be made in EURO. There is no buyer’s commission.
The lots will go to the bidder with the highest offer at the price of the second highest
offer plus 5%. Example : We receive three offers for a same lot : 150, 200 et 225
euros. The lot will go to the bidder having made the offer of 225 euros 200 + 5% (10
euros) = 210 euros.
If the difference between two offers is less than 5%, then the higher offer will be
taken into account. In the case of a single bid, the 5% will be calculated on the
start price
In the event that we receive two identical bids or offers for the same lot, we will award
the lot to the one that arrives first.
The lots will be sent by registered mail. 1% will be charged as insurance costs. Should
this 1% not be paid by the buyer, the sending will be sent at the risk of the buyer. The
mailing costs comprise postage, handling and list of results : according to current
rates. A supplement of 10 euros will be charged for sending above 2000 euros. For
large sendings, the effective costs will be charged.

indicated or agreed by our company. The buyer will be responsible for any exchange rate
difference if he has not made an express request or agreement for the exchange rate with our
company.

4.4 Any goods returned to us without valid reason will be reshipped against payment of a new
shipping invoice and other related costs.
4.5 Any goods not paid in full will remain the property of the seller.
4.6 If after sending three reminders, the customer has not paid his complete debt, Le Timbre
Classique will keep any amounts already paid as initial compensation.

invoice on the 30th day after the sale, then 2% of the sums due per additional month or
portion thereof.
