Advantages of selling in Switzerland

As an international centre of trade and finance, Switzerland is the ideal place in which to sell stamps. In many respects it is unrivalled.

As a prominent international auction house, we know the importance of deciding where to sell your stamps. Switzerland enjoys an exceptionally privileged position, and offers particular financial advantages to foreign sellers. If you like to know more, we would be happy to explain these to you.

Swiss made

Switzerland is the obvious choice when it comes to selling stamps, and sellers  and dealers benefit from the favourable conditions offered by the country’s liberal laws and strong economy. Further unique advantages, particularly for German sellers, include Switzerland’s emphasis on discretion and privacy, international outlook, focus on the service economy, ability to provide physical security, excellent infrastructure and minimal red tape.
Our customers particularly appreciate the country’s financial benefits and economic security, and it’s no coincidence that many of the world’s most valuable collector’s items are sold in Switzerland.
