Hello to everyone. I am thinking of trying my first time buying from an auction this time but I don't know were to look. I just found for example Roma Numismatics but they are in UK which now outside EU. Do you know any other auction houses, websites or shops with auctions inside EU? Thank you all!
HI You might want to check websites such as Biddr, NumisBids and CoinArchives. On these sites you'll find links tomany EU-based auction houses. Good luck!
Thank you for your answer! Are those sites for biddig or just they list all the auction houses? Also I was very sad science uk left EU because I was thinking that in UK are the most actions, is it true that they have the most, or other EU countries have many good auction houses as well? Lastly in these auctions I was looking at says estimate price, and the prices were really low, is this the price that the auction usually ends at or do they tend to go much higher?
Biddr has live auctions, numisbids lets you do submit a bid sheet for pre-bids. Coinarchives and numisbids are the same (I think?) There's plenty of other auction houses in EU for ancients, for ex. Kunker but I think it depends on what kind of coins you're looking at. Estimates depends on the auction house
There are many EU-based auction houses - ones I've bought from include (in no particular order): Kuenker, Gorny & Mosch, Artemide, CGB, Jean Elsen, Varesi, Tintinna, Bertolami, HD Rauch, Ibercoin, Jesus Vico, Nomisma, Savoca and probably more I'm forgetting. Things can be very slow to come from Italy, due to export licence requirements. ATB, Aidan.
Others have listed some good options above, but I just want to give some general advice: read carefully terms and conditions of each auction, and their return policy in case you have a problem with your item(s). Also goes without saying, but fully understand all fees. Sometimes they add up to quite a bit.
