It's easy and you should complete your online appraisal in 15 to 20 minutes (but there's no time frame). You have 30 days to complete it, and our Technical and Support Staff are here to help.
Click the BIG RED BUTTON to begin Now - before you lose the Auction (or the last one goes in the Store).
Thank you for selecting the Jewelry Buyers Section. I am going to assume you have seen an item in your local store or on TV or at Auction sites such as eBay and you simply want a to know a fair price for something. You don't want to pay too much and get ripped off.
Not easy...
"The Biggest Problem Is Knowing A Fair Price When You See One.
If The Store Advertises 50% Off - You Should Be Asking - 'Off What?"
G'day, my name is David Foard F.G.A.A. and I'm your resident Jewelry Appraiser, Gemologist and Valuer right here at the Jewelry Appraisal Center.
The Main problem is that in the open market - there is NO FIXED PRICE for anything. And that includes Jewelry. There is however a guide.
A Trading Range if you will.
But it's based on a percentage of an Insurance Appraisal (which I call a Master Appraisal) and it depends on several factors such as...
- Is this a New Item
- Is it Secondhand
- Is it Antique or Vintage
- Is it Collectible
- Is it an Auction Value
- Is it a Forced Sale
- Is it part of Probate or a Will
And so on.
So in truth, you have to get a full Master Appraisal First, and then get the correct calculation from there, otherwise you are simply guessing.
Our Software does all the calculations in your currency and produces a printable Certificate listing all the details together with a Master Appraisal Price. Once you have that, simply contact this office and tell us what you need the appraisal for, and we will give you the Trading Range. No extra Charge!
But remember the Golden Rule - "There ain't no such thing as a fixed price..."
It will ALWAYS depend on you (as the willing Buyer) to pay an amount acceptable to the Willing Seller.
Hope that really helps.
