December 2011 Newsletter

 

 

Dear Collector

 

MURRAY CARDS CLOSURE – OUR LAST NEWSLETTER

 

We are now in the final month before we cease accepting orders on 31st December. We will do our best to supply all orders placed up to this date. Because of the huge discounts we have been offering and the subsequent demand, orders may not be dispatched until January BUT they will be processed subject to stock availability.

 

We have now sold out of many sets (see the home page of our Website for a listing of Issuers whose cards we no longer have) and have not had time to remove these individual sets gt from our Website. In order to avoid disappointment when ordering, we are therefore suggesting that our Customers offer alternative choices - we will always do our best to accommodate your requirements.

 

The following SPECIAL OFFERS are still AVAILABLE:

 

All sets with a Catalogue price of £5 or less.   ONLY £1 per SET

(minimum order of 10 sets – any titles)

 

All other sets priced at under £200, including Liebigs.  60% OFF CATALOGUE PRICE

 

All sets priced at £200 or more, including Liebigs.  25% OFF CATALOGUE PRICE

 

All odd cards priced at under £5.00 each.  50% OFF CATALOGUE PRICE (minimum total order for all such odd cards - £20.00 after discount).   

 

All odd cards priced at £5 or more each – 25% OFF CATALOGUE PRICE

 

Payment for the above Special Offers can only be accepted by UK cheque or Credit/Debit card. We cannot accept payment for these Special Offers by Paypal.

 

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT WE CLOSE OUR STORE FOR CASUAL VISITS ON DECEMBER 23rd.  We shall be arranging for the disposal of any residue stock during January. So if there is something that interests you we should be happy to see you at the shop throughout January, by appointment only. There will be some really tempting bargains to be had. Once we have closed we shall be publishing on our website alternative suppliers, but do remember that our offers are unlikely ever to be matched – so order NOW.

 


ALL CREDIT NOTES WILL BE HONOURED BUT THESE MUST BE CLAIMED BEFORE 31st DECEMBER.
