TESTIMONIALS

The (payment) arrived today.  Thanks for your prompt attentions and your expertise.

– Mrs B, UK, 16th August 2023

I wish to thank the staff at Sandafayre in Knutsford for the service given during my quite short visit last week Downsizing is a tedious and sometimes worrying stage in ones life, and for a  non specialised person, selling just a few 100 year old stamps was a little daunting.

However, Mr. Vincent Green explained the procedure and after a 1/4 hour research, a fair and acceptable offer sealed the deal.

– Mr W, UK, 11th August 2023

I am very happy and thank you for your professionalism and courtesy.

You have quickly turned into my favorite company to deal with!  Your front-line staff are AMAZING! The simple and pleasant interaction I have with your ladies is wonderful, thet make a world of a difference in my experience. I also would like to commend Mr. Adam Butler who prepares my shipments; I have bought from every major auction house in Europe and the US, and no one prepares a package like he does!  I have come to appreciate the quality of your stamps and covers! Clean, great consistent quality and very accurate descriptions! The consistency of these qualities has made your company my favorite auction house. I would easily grade Sandafayre as the one of the best if not the best stamp auction house in the world!  

– Dr A, USA., 31st May 2023

Thank you for your great effort and help with all my questions. I have to say that this is really great service. Of all the English auction houses I buy from (names of 3 major UK stamp auctions withheld) I feel that I’m in the best hands with you, and that deserves a mention of praise 

– Mrs E, Germany, 16th May 2023

Never known such friendly, fast, and efficient firm anywhere! No praise high enough. And I’ve no shares in the company!!! (Worse luck.) Recommended without reservation.

– Mr H, UK, 26th April 2023

You do a great service to philately with these videos 

– Mr D, UK., 14th January 2023

Thank you for providing excellent content on your YouTube channel. Also enjoy exploring your website.

– Mr S, USA, 19th November 2022

I just wanted to thank you for your fine website and auctions.  I thoroughly enjoy your videos and postings and I’ve learned quite a lot from both.  I am a casual GB Queen Victoria era collector and have purchased a few items from your mail-bid and live auctions since 2019.  I very much appreciate your professionalism and your sense of humor displayed in both your videos and live auctions.  You’ve definitely increased my enjoyment of the hobby.

– Mr R, USA, 13th November 2022

Many thanks to all of you in selling at auction my late husband’s stamp collection. I really do apreciate the efforts you put into the sale and your very kind additional donation to Macmillan Cancer Support.

– Mrs T, UK, 23rd October 2022

Sandafayre sold at auction my late husband’s collection of First Day Covers. Earlier this year I took the collection to Knutsford for a valuation and their advice. The whole process was straightforward and simple. The stamps did not have a very high value but I was treated with great courtesy throughout. I advised the auctioneer that any proceeds would be donated to the Macmillan fund and they very kindly waived their auction charges. I can wholeheartedly recommend Sandafayre (Holdings) Ltd to anyone who has stamps to dispose of.

– Mrs T, UK., 20th September 2022

Thank you all very much for your very generous and kind assistance and in addition for the speedy money transfers.

– Mr L, Ireland., 26th August 2022

Sold a collection through Vince at Sandafayre, have to say it was excellent service, very professional and Vince was a pleasure to do business with.

– Mr M, Australia, 14th August 2022

Used this company to sell a collection, the whole process was seamless, the buyer was incredibly helpful and informative. Will definitely use again 😊

– Mrs S, UK, 13th August 2022

I have received your parcel and am very grateful. Your service was truly outstanding.

– Mrs W, UK, 24th June 2022

Sandafayre recently sold my large stamp collection and I was very pleased with their service. From the initial valuation to the auction I was kept informed how things were proceeding and the auction was extremely professional. I was delighted with the result. (Auctioneers note: this was an important property which we carefully offered as several hundred lots, our expert handling of the very specialised material garnered worldwide attention and proved to be one of the highlights of the UK philatelic auction season)

– Mrs S, UK, 27th May 2022

Good to have an honest, upfront conversation.

– Mr S, UK, 30th April 2022

Been with Sandafayre for a good few years now, always happy to talk, and brilliant with stamps and advice, aways a pleasure, the wealth of knowledge this place and the guys here, I thank you.

– Mr B, UK, 18th April 2022

I spent a couple of hours online with your auction on Saturday. The material was first class. I have been to many online stamp auctions over the last two years and would like you to know that I think yours is the best I have been to so far. So keep up the good work.

Great service provided by Karl Hogg when helping us sell an inherited collection of stamps. All aspects of the sale dealt with expeditiously which was much appreciated.

– Mr and Mrs B, UK, 11th June 2021

Dear Sandafayre, just want to thank you so much for the stamp hinges that you sent me. Thanks also for your friendliness.

– Mr S. South Africa, 24th May 2021

The attention to requests that you have always given to my concerns, is absolutely awesome

– Mr S, India, 19th April 2021

In these times of instant transactions and anonymous companies, Sandafayre’s Internet presence remains a breath of fresh air for every philatelist, whether they be a newcomer or a seasoned specialist, and whether they want access to regular auctions, to private sales – or to efficient, transparent valuations and good advice.

By always putting the customer first, Sandafayre has successfully combined the best traditions of an established philatelic dealer with the best practices of today’s Internet-based business.

But what makes these people different? Whether you are a buyer or a seller – or whether you’re seeking a valuation you can trust – it’s the straightforward, honest way in which Sandafayre communicates and does business: namely, people talking with people, and sharing their interest and knowledge.

– Mr T, UK, 12th April 2021

Just a quickie to say thank you, delighted with the result of Saturdays auction.

– Mr B, UK, 15th March 2021

Vincent and team – another great job… Well done!

– Mr B, UK, 8th February 2021

I have received the payment for my late brother’s stamps and would like to thank you all for your prompt and efficient service.

– Mrs M, UK, 5th February 2021

Thank you again for your ‘straight dealing’ approach to valuation.

– Mr T, UK, 25th January 2021

To sell my stamp collection was a very difficult decision to make.  I had been collecting stamps for 65 plus years and over that time had refined and concentrated it into a reasonable collection I could be proud of with a big investment in both time and money.  Over the years I had dealt with several stamp companies and when it came to selling it I wanted it to be dealt with by a group I could trust. This was important as I now live in Thailand and was dealing with a company in Britain.  I had found Sandafayre to be both reliable and friendly and very approachable in the past when I bought stamps from them.  They seemed to understand my anguish as I discussed selling and were very supportive and helpful every step of the way as I procrastinated and wavered over my decision.  All the advice they gave me regarding shipping and preparation was spot on and my concerns about the process were wonderfully dealt with.  They made the whole process much more bearable than I could have dared to hope for.  I am very grateful.

– Mr H, Thailand, 22nd January 2021

I have bought several lots in recent sales and I am very impressed by the quality of lots, and even more impressed by the service that you and your staff provide.

– Mr G, UK, 17th January 2021

As an avid stamp collector all his life my husband has dealt with Sandafayre for many years, both buying and selling. Due to illness, he has recently been selling parts of his collection and Sandafayre have been amazing both with their expertise and advice. Vincent Green has shown particular kindness and support and I can only thank him for his sympathetic handling of the gradual sale of my husband’s beloved stamp collection. I cannot rate Sandafayre more highly and would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending them to anyone wishing to buy or sell stamps.

– Mrs W, UK, 7th January 2021

I have recently used the services of Sandafayre to sell a stamp collection. The service from start to finish has been so helpful, honest and I consider the staff and this company honest and trustworthy. I would highly recommend.

– Ms H, UK, 4th January 2021

Really good experience. I was selling a collection which belonged to my late father and the estimates were pretty spot on. Everyone I spoke to at Sandafayre was really helpful, knowledgeable and professional. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.

– Ms G, UK, 4th January 2021

Excellent service from a well respected company. Many thanks.

– Mr M, UK, 3rd January 2021
