ADVICE π° Buying & Selling Art at Auction, by lv90210 on Nov 9, 2020 13:36:26 GMT 1, Does anyone have any experience of buying from non UK Auction houses like Bukowskis or Heritage for example. What are the taxes, carriage and insurance liabilities? Is it worth the extra hassle and does anyone have good / bad insight or experiences Feels like a faff.

Is it worth the extra hassle and does anyone have good / bad insight or experiences Feels like a faff. As in a Swedish one ? I get emailed constantly from Heritage (for example as i signed up once!) who are US based and have seen pieces from Bukowskis Auctions who are in Stockholm. So i was wondering if anyone here has purchased from an Auction house outside the UK? I imagine the taxes /duty, insurances and carriage costs mount up. |

Edit: I suspect a lot will change with auction prices after Brexit, but that deserves its own thread.

Guess this will be depending if you can seal the deal and have it delivered before the new year. As long as it's within EU. Brexit you know.

Have bought from US auctions more than once (incl. Heritage, Swann, Christieβs NYC)
I always agree beforehand on the cost of shipping (incl crating, insurance etc...) for pieces i am interested in bidding on.
I also send them about 500 emails insisting on how to label the paperwork so it goes through customs more easily
Never had any issues and got some good deals (before sterling took a dump of course)

Can't comment on shipping / taxes and insurance but the overall experience was very good.
They are the market leader in Scandinavia since ages, a bit old school ( in a nice way ) and very reliable.

It's not just a problem for sellers. It's also a problem for buyers too. With non-essential travel currently banned, you can't pick up any items you may have won at auction. I asked a courier company and they also said they can't pick up items from auction houses on my behalf as this goes against current covid restrictions. So basically I wont be bidding on any items anytime soon.

Valid reasons to leave home...
To fulfil a legal obligation.
So if you have a contract to submit an item to auction, then surely this is a legal obligation?
