Why are there no fees for Appraisals & Valuations and Purchasing Agent in the service content?Usually private sales and purchases are usually of higher value, so we have to be very careful. Both private sales and purchases are a complex and systematic workflow. The value of the item needs to be appraised first before valuing it. We recommend the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) for jewelry, and we recommend the China National Cultural Relics Appraisal Commission for porcelain. All results must have a certificate from an authoritative accreditation body. After the authenticity of the certified items, (if you have an authoritative certificate, we will quickly verify the item and its certificate.) Our expert team will conduct value evaluation and sales operations based on the appraisal results and existing market conditions. In order to ensure that the value of the commodity will provide clients with accurate evaluation reports and investment advice. On this basis, we will negotiate and negotiate for clients, and finally ensure the smooth completion of the transact.
