{{Auction}}<br />
A '''philatelic auction''', or '''stamp auction''', is a sale of [[postage stamp|stamps]], [[cover (philately)|covers]] and other [[philatelic]] material usually run by [[stamp dealer]]s or specialist [[collectible]]s auctioneers, such as [[David Feldman (philatelist)|David Feldman]], [[Christie's]] and [[Sotheby's]], where prospective purchasers place bids in an attempt to obtain the desired items.<br />
<br />
The highest bidder for each lot (described item or items) makes the purchase. Auctions are generally divided into mail sales, where bids are accepted by mail, and public sales, where mail bids are combined with live bidding from individuals present at the auction or participating by telephone.<br />
<br />
[[Auctions]] usually allow prospective purchasers to view the items beforehand, either in a catalogue, in the auction house, or both.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Forthcoming Auctions : AJH Stamps Ltd |url=https://ajhstamps.co.uk/index.php?main_page=page_2 |access-date=2023-11-12 |website=ajhstamps.co.uk}}</ref><br />
