About Collectibles Corner

Back to Home

Collectibles Corner was started in 2001 offering small collectibles in mail bid and private treaty sales.

For the previous ten years I had worked with Whyte's who specialised in public auctions of Stamps, Postal History and other collectibles

 

The aim has been to offer hard-to-find and unusual items, individually or in small groups, in mail bid sales (postal auctions) with no buyer's commission.

Each sale has about 500 lots, typically estimated at €30 - €100.

In addition there are regular First Come First Served Lists, where items are offered at a fixed price on a "first come, first served" basis.

For both of these printed catagues are posted out and the listing is posted on this website.

There are also occasional web-only BIN Lists (Buy It Now) to browse.
