The
Alderfer Auction Company Sells Stamps
Stamp
collectors may spend an entire lifetime collecting stamps, but
most only sell their collection once. And when the day comes to
sell that collection, the process can be confusing and overwhelming.
That is why so many stamp collectors choose the Alderfer Auction
Company when selling their stamps.
Why
sell your Stamps through the Alderfer Auction Company?
Here are 8 very important reasons:
|
|
 |
Solid
History of Selling Stamps: Since it was established in
1959 by founder Sanford Alderfer, the Alderfer Auction Co.
has been selling stamps. We have helped to create many stamp
collections over the years. And when the time came to sell
many of those collections, the Alderfer Auction Company was
there to help, and we have a strong history of helping our
customers in this specialty area. |
|
|
 |
Stamp
Expertise: Stamps consigned to our stamp auctions are
reviewed by our professional stamp consultant who sorts, describes,
and where appropriate, grades your stamps. Your consignment
is then added to our Stamp Auction Listing, which both appears
on our Web Site, and/or is mailed out to our regular stamp
customers. |
|
|
 |
Reputation
For Integrity: You don't remain in the auction business
for nearly 50 years without a solid reputation. Repeat business,
customer referrals, and positive word of mouth are just some
of our primary sources of new business. Our reputation for
integrity and valued customer relationships mean everything
to us. And we work hard to maintain it. Over the years we
have established a reputation of being fair to both buyers
and sellers. When you contract with the Alderfer Auction Company
we can never guarantee what your merchandise will sell for.
But we will guarantee you this: Your merchandise will be handled
with respect. It will be professionally marketed and promoted
in the most cost effective manner. And you will receive a
fair and honest accounting when the auction is complete, as
well as timely payment. |

Exposure
and Advertising: Our Stamp Specialty Auctions are widely
promoted through a series advertising vehicles including trade
paper and local advertising, auction flyers and brochures,
our primary Alderfer Auction Company web site (www.AlderferAuction.com)
as well as our stamp specialty web site (www.AlderferStampAuctions.com),
mailings to our USPS mailing list, e-mail blasts to our extensive
e-mail address book, and through many other traditional and
non-traditional advertising means, all of which are designed
to attract both our existing stamp customer base, as well
as new collectors and dealers. |
|
|
 |
Competitive
Bidding Situation: If you are uncertain of what your stamp
collection is worth, how can you possibly feel comfortable
selling it for a fixed price? For many collectors, selling
their stamps in a competitive bidding situation, in a well-advertised
Auction, before knowledgeable and motivated bidders, is the
best way to establish true market value. |
|
|
 |
Professional
Auction Staff: Our professional auctioneers and auction
staff include many of the best people in the auction business,
with more than 200 years of combined experience in the auction
industry. Our professional staff includes numerous past Pennsylvania
Auctioneer Association "Auctioneers of the Year",
"Hall of Fame" members, and current and past Pennsylvania

Convenient
Location: The Alderfer Auction Center is conveniently
located only a few miles off of the Lansdale Exit of the Pennsylvania
Turnpike's Northeast Extension. We are only 45 minutes north
of Center City Philadelphia…two hours from New York City…2
½ hours from Baltimore…3 ½ hours from Washington
DC. And according to the Greater Philadelphia Tourism Marketing
Corporation nearly 50,000,000 people…1/6 of the entire
population of the United States….lives within four hours

State
of the Art Auction Center: The Alderfer Auction Center
is an innovatively-designed auction center exclusively devoted
to the Auction Method of Selling. The focal point is our large
and flexibly organized main auditorium that is both elegantly
carpeted and well lit. When necessary it can be sub-divided
into smaller areas as may be necessary for more intimate Specialty
Auctions. Our newly renovated gallery and hallway, along with
our outdoor selling area, provide enough square footage that
we usually have four or more auctioneers selling simultaneously.
Conveniences at the Alderfer Auction Center include a café
and a computerized registration system that processes all
transactions instantly and efficiently. Personal property
and private collections are carefully handled after they have
been identified with a unique consignor ID# for tracking on
our computerized inventory system. As you would expect, professional
safety and security measures are in abundance to assure a
safe environment for both our customers and our consigned
merchandise. |
While
the benefits of the Auction Method of Selling are numerous, when
you decide to sell at auction, we hope that you will consider
the Alderfer Auction Company. We invite your inquiries and look
forward to assisting you with your personal property, moving,
and real estate needs.
