​

   You can print off a postal bidders' form and mail it to Philas to arrive no later than the day before the auction (Friday).  Or attach a scan of your completed bid form to an email to auction@philas.org.au .

 See our Bidders' Terms & Conditions.

Do you want to sell material through the Philas auction?

​

   Many sellers (vendors) come to Philas following a recommendation from their local stamp collecting club or from a satisfied vendor at a previous auction.

​

   You can lot your material or we will lot it for you. It is fully insured while in our care. We mail out the auction catalogue to over 1500 potential buyers in Australia and overseas and send settlement cheques to vendors within 6 weeks of sale.

​

   Our auctions attract a large number of room bidders (unlike some commercial auctions) as well as postal bidders.

​

   For full information on selling through Philas, see the Vendor Information page.

   The Philas Stamp Auction has been running since 1975 and is the oldest

philatelic auction service in NSW run by and for the benefit of stamp collectors.

​

   Proceeds from our auctions remain in NSW to foster philately - there are no share-holders and no paid staff.

​

   Philas is a 100% voluntary, not-for-profit independent organisation. All auction -related work is performed by local stamp collectors who volunteer their time.

​

   You too can become a Philas helper.  Check our volunteers page.

To find out where we are, to contact us or to check public transport, see the Visitors' Information page.

PHILAS House Open Days

   are held on the third Saturday of the month before every auction. Dealers, club tables and mini-auction. Details here.
