Silmarillion Super Deluxe on auction at Stacey's 21/22 June

I had seen that, but was trying to get some information on how payment works, as their website is very confusing. They state they don't accept credit cards (but give credit card payment info elsewhere on the site), and have a weird term for payment by cheque (does "unprovided for" mean the check fails to clear? or that they don't accept cheques at all?) and other strangeness that makes it sound like "cash in hand only" is about it - so if you cannot attend in person, you cannot bid???

Anyone able to help?

They accept Visa Debit and MasterCard Debit on the-saleroom.com where they will have live bidding

"2. Confirm that you are authorised to provide these credit card details to Stacey's Auctioneers" means that the-saleroom will not charge the card, Stacey's will - but Stacey's is no longer accepting credit cards.

"Confirm that you are authorised to provide these credit card details to Stacey's Auctioneers & Valuers through www.the-saleroom.com"

My undestanding is that the the-saleroom.com takes payment and is responsible for remitting payment to the auctioneer. So the auctioneer has no payment risk. the-saleroom.com provides credit card details (shipping address) to auctioneer.

Sounds plausible. Good luck to anyone bidding!

But they accept Debit cards, I've tried and they accepted my MasterCard Debit through the-saleroom.com

The grail....?
