Philatelists Online is a web based service for stamp auctions and net price sales from stamp dealers and auction houses which allows you to participate in public auctions where you would normally have to be present. Also advertises 'webcasts' of shows but I think it's just a 'web-report' (see Sotherby's for a real webcast) 5/00

Afinsa, whom I've refered to elsewhere, claims to hold an interest in Greg Manning and, indeed, the GAMI-Europe.com link lists them. Afinsa's stamp division is one of Europe's largest dealers.
Also publishes Cronica Filatelica, claims an interest in Greg Manning Auctions, Inc. and has "MUNDISINTER" - the wholesaler which provides dealers with the finest philatelic supplies ... Seems to also have interests in DOMFIL (Topical albums), De Rosa, Philagentur GmbH (Germany), and Filagent Nederland B.V. (Holland).

Under the heading: How does a Postal Sale work?

A short excerpt: ...For example: consider a lot estimated at £10. Andrew bids £9, Beth £11 and Claude bids £20 - he wants to be sure he gets it. Claude wins because he placed the highest bid. However, he does not pay the full £20, he pays just £11.50 - one step above the under bid of £11. In the event of 2 equal bids, the first one received wins. If a lot attracts only one bid, it is sold at the reserve price. (sounds fair enough...)
