FAQs
What type of items do you purchase?
Fine jewelry, scrap gold and silver, diamonds, watches, coins and currency, sterling silver, rarities (pipes, military memorabilia, pre-1950's toys and advertising, old photographs and autographs), fine art by known artists, luxury goods, designer handbags, and pens.
How do you determine the prices you offer for my items?
We use current and historical auction results, dealer price sheets, market trends, and decades of industry expertise.
Do certifications or appraisals increase the value of my item?
Yes. A GIA certification or a well-known certification company (for diamonds, fine art, or autographs) can increase its value.
Is my appraisal the same as a third-party lab certification?
No. Appraisals are subjective and done strictly for insurance and replacement value. Our specialists will walk you through the appraisal and will show you the current value of your item.
What if my offer is lower than I expected?
Sometimes customers come to us with expectations closer to what they paid retail for a piece, or a number in mind from an insurance appraisal. The number from an appraisal represents an insurance coverage value for replacement costs if the valuable was lost, stolen, or broken beyond repair. Appraisals are good for identification purposes, but do not translate to the current value of an item. Our offer ranges take into account current market values and recent sale comps on the open resale market.
For example, a 1970's gold nugget ring with a .25ct diamond might appraise for $3000.
But not many would purchase this item to wear in today's fashion.
The appraisal only takes into account how to recreate this item to be sold in a retail setting. A ring like this is no longer in fashion and would not sell in today's market, but would be recycled for parts at approximately $300 for the gold and diamond value.
