[QUOTE="maridvnvm, post: 5479924, member: 31620"]I am very much a bottom feeder when it comes to collecting. Several areas that I collect are not valued by many and as such I can collect with a modest budget. Over recent years I have been mainly buying from the UK and Europe as in recent times there has been a shift quite often the cost of shipping from North America has become a large proportion of the cost of buying from there (30-50% of the price of the coins I collect would be added again for shipping). As such I have retreated to Europe being the source of the vast majority of my purchases. I buy from a range of sources but often buy on ebay as I can still obtain coins that fit my collecting themes there. As of this year however ebay has started to add sales tax (VAT) at 20% to all coins from outside the UK. This has come into existence since Brexit. As a result I can see my ability to collect being curtailed. I will still turn up here as often as I am able but fear that I will have a lot less coins added to my collection in coming years and a lot less to share with communities such as this. This is simply an observation and not a moaning session but is certainly a side effect of Brexit that I had not considered until it hit me.[/QUOTE]
