Online Auctions

Hi Everyone.

I was wondering what Auctions people on here use to buy coins. (Apart from Ebay).

I am UK so ideally UK and European auctions. Mainly for picking up items that may be missing from sets etc

Top secret I'm afraid - you can't share everything. 😉

Fair enough. If you don't ask. 😂

Many of the auction houses on sixbid.com, had to pay bills in USD, Euros and Swiss Francs yesterday.☹️

Also London Coins, Warwick&Warwick, Lockdales and Corbitts amongst the few who do not appear sixbid. The 'the-saleroom.com' is also useful for auctions that may have some coins but is not their main business.

What I would say is that you need to read all the T & C's very carefully, or you may end up paying more than you were expecting (e.g. VAT on the bid price or the premium, depending on the item).

Bought a few coins several years ago on eBid at a good price.
The seller had them listed on eBay and after a question pointed me to eBid because the fees were much lower so a win / win in this case.
Haven't looked for over a year because I got frustrated with the site and pricing.

Cheers for the advice. Will have a look

 

Wow. One person on the site trying to get £478 for a 2018 non proof sovereign. That will still be for sale in 100 years.
