The Royal Philatelic Society of New Zealand - Buying/Selling


The Society is not a dealer in general however it does occasionally buy philatelic material for reference purposes, or mint unhinged decimal stamps for postal use, and it sells material on behalf of members, and material received by way of donation.

For members of the public it is able to offer independent informal valuations and advice on the disposal of material.

The Society sells items on Trade Me, and also holds Postal Bid Sales--open to the public as well as members--of stamps and postal history approximately twice a year. Many of the items are from estates, where the Society has been asked to dispose of the material.
