Mr David Mattey. Medalbuyers.com
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.
This is having the effect of driving
away many competitive investors .
Many who now prefer to buy
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?
We will help you establish the likely auction value (Hammer price) of your medals.
You will then have the option to sell at the established price without the uncertainty
and costly commissions being taken.
David Mattey acts as a direct buyer for city investment groups,
advanced collectors and museums.
David believes that clients are willing to pay Medalbuyers.com
A premium for our reassuring expertise,
And our carefully researched and unconditionally guaranteed exhibits.
Medal buyers.com provide an opportunity of selling medals directly at
carefully researched prices .
Medal buyers,com are engaged in the purchase of Campaign and
Service Medals, Awards,
Orders, Decorations , Antique Arms and “Militaria.

Selling directly to our museum style store may be a favorable option.
An example of Auction Commission charges in London is 15% plus 20% VAT and sellers also pay an insurance charge of 1.5%. Catalogue illustration charges can range from £50 to £500 and sellers can also be charged if lots do not sell!
Additional charges include VAT, shipping, packing, , storage, import and customs duties.
They may also have a discretionary reserve which means that you give them permission to sell goods typically 10%-20% below the agreed price.
The buyer of your item has to pay the auction house a buyers premium of about 20%-25% (30% for online bidders in some instances) +VAT for the right to buy and then . This means that sellers may only receive about half of the value that the buyer paid! You also have to hope that the buyer pays their bill on time at auction, which they don’t always do!
