The PISC Postal Auction
Auctions are currently held once or twice a year; the catalogues are sent to members along with Pacifica. There are typically about 300 lots in each sale, with a good variety of covers, postcards and non-philatelic background literature. A photocopy viewing service is available, and scans may also be available - see the auction list for details. Plenty of time is allowed for overseas members to place their bids. Bids may be sent by mail, fax or e-mail.
Please note that participation in our auctions, both selling and buying, is strictly for members only.
