Welcome to Medal Buyers.com
At one time U.K. medal auctions were unquestionably the
best option open to sellers.
This is no longer the case in our opinion ?
Online bidders are now being charged an
alarming 20%-30%+Vat on top of the hammer price.

discretely through concerns such as ourselves.
Most new vendors at auction now claim that they were not made aquatically
aware of amount of stoppage taken
from both buyer and seller?
