Auction Bidding Options
There are several ways to bid in our auctions (if you cannot
attend in person). Bids can be made by email, telephone,
and through our Web site.
Written Bid Form
You are invited to bid before the auction, using the bid forms
enclosed with the catalogue.
• Write down the lot numbers of interest to you and your bids
on them
• Complete your personal information
• Sign the form on the last page of this catalogue
and send it either:
- by email: info@davidfeldman.com
- by post: David Feldman SA,
PO Box 29, Chemin du Pavillon 2
1218 Le Grand-Saconnex, Geneva, Switzerland
Bids initially made by telephone must be supported by written
confirmation by post prior to the sale.
Phone Bids During the Auction
If you wish to bid by phone, you should confirm in writing
48 hours before the auction indicating the lot numbers
you wish to bid on and phone number(s) where you can be
reached during the auction. Due to the availability of multiple
other bidding options, telephone bidding is accepted at the
discretion of David Feldman SA. One of our philatelists will
call you a few lots in advance of your first lot of interest, and
bid for you directly during the auction.
Online Bidding
Participate in any David Feldman auction from the comfort of
your home, office, or while travelling.
