Why Stanley Gibbons

Selling through Stanley Gibbons Auctions – A Case Study

Mrs Clarke was offered £39,000 by another stamp dealer for her stamp collection
 
Stanley Gibbons told her she could do much better…

• We offered Mrs Clarke a single vendor auction
• We flew her to Guernsey to view the auction
• She enjoyed dinner at Guernsey's finest restaurant, courtesy of Stanley Gibbons
• She was chauffered around the island and given a free guided tour by one of the members of our Guernsey team
• We held a drinks reception to promote the collection
• We scheduled an interview with BBC Radio Guernsey
• The local media promoted the auction

The collection sold for £58,000, with Mrs Clarke receiving £49,300 after auction fees had been taken

+26% more than her first offer
 
After a night in one of Guernsey’s finest hotels courtesy of Stanley Gibbons, Mrs Clarke flew home with a big smile on her face.
 
Here is what she had to say:
 
"Thank you so much for such a good result and for making me feel so welcome and relaxed in Guernsey. I cannot recommend Stanley Gibbons highly enough to other collectors wishing to dispose of their collections."
