Sword / Militaria Auctions |
Looking to buy and / or sell militaria online at an internet auction
other than eBay? I no longer sell swords / militaria on eBay personally.
I do however often place antique swords, other edged weapons and
militaria (badges, medals, uniforms, etc.) here: vBid
me Sword Auctions;
please check it for many bargain basement items!
The auction site vBid.me was
created to fill the void when eBay decided only US sellers with
US located items offering only US domestic shipping can sell swords
(eBay
sword / weapons policy), plus to cure the problems of fraud,
etc. on Internet Auctions by providing more transparency, more information
and greater security. I used to sell on eBay and had 100% positive
feedback as a seller (see: snr_sword
on eBay), but got fed up with what goes on there!
If you want to discuss internet auctions, especially problems relating
to these, vBid me has a sister site: Internet
Auctions / eBay forums, vBay me.
Auction Buyer's Agent:
If you are looking for a particular sword at auction I
can act as a buyer's agent on your behalf where I keep an eye out
for the sword type you are looking for, get details (such as a condition
report and photographs), then send you you these and bid on your
behalf if you instruct me. I charge 20% of the hammer price as my
commission on any such successful purchase. I require 15% of your
maximum bid as surety / a deposit. You would pay the auction house
directly; please remember auction houses have a buyer's premium
(commission) themselves of (on average) 20%. I would help you if
required source a shipping agent (if the auction house does not
have an in-house facility) and advise you on any required permits
(normally not required for most sword purchases).

in touch.
