Welcome to the new Tasmanian Stamp Auctions website. After the total loss of the previous site due to a most unfortunate server failure on January 3rd, I have relocated the site to a different webhost and installed an up-to-date version of the auction software.
Before scheduling Online Auction #42 I will run a small
"shakedown auction" closing on Saturday March 14th and TSA customers old and new
are welcome to register to use this new site right away ... just click or
tap on the "My Account" link at the top of the page, select "Sign Up" then fill in all the
necessary details on the form provided ...then login and verify your
registration (there's also an email sent to your mailbox with a link to click/tap on
as well....it is essential that you complete this requirement ....if you can't find the email please check your Spam or Junk Mail folders) ......that's all you need to do to place bids in the auction. The listing of lots for this "shakedown auction" has commenced and will continue until 7 days before the auction closes and yes, there will still be "Buy Out" items.
TSA Online Auction #42 which was scheduled to close on April 17th & 18th will be rescheduled to close sometime in May
