Shipping shouldn't be that much more than shipping to US firm, I do not think their taxes affect you, yes their will be exchange fees. Customs from the list above would have me a little concerned, but only depending on material. I don't think auction house not paying is a concern if you do your due diligence. IDK, one of the greatest collectors/researchers on ancients in the US sold her collection through a UK auction house, so I do not think the idea is dumb. At a minimum research them and use as leverage for US firms to get your listings. Its a hot time to sell coins right now.[/QUOTE]
