Selling: What features do the plans that OGP has released proportion?

The choice of eCommerce Plans depends on your specific needs. We currently offer three types: Consignment, Marketing and Publicity, and Private Sales.

 

Consignment is for those of you who already have some items in your inventory, such as past unused collections or fast-moving items. Your items can be posted in our store, and we'll match your items to our eMagazine and social media, which will make your items more visible to our members, subscribers and followers.

 

Marketing and Publicity is suitable for those of you who have a private label, or if you own an item that has not yet been discovered for its value and you need to raise the commercial value and market awareness higher than you currently have, then our experienced international team of experts can assist you in advancing your plan to achieve the desired goal.

 

Private Sales are suitable for high-end items. (See past auction results) If you have an item to sell, or would like to purchase please contact OGP, our private sales specialists, valuers and art brokers are available for visits throughout the year.

 

Please also check out the Collectors’ Club and Services or contact us for more details.

Selling: How is the cost of items purchased through the OGP online Store calculated?

Regardless of the option you choose, once the item is sold on the online Store, we will charge an additional 8% commission. OGP acts as a third party platform to protect the interests of both buyers and sellers. We will not notify the seller of the shipment until we have confirmed receipt of the payment, and we will also pay the seller for the item only after the buyer has received it to ensure a successful deal. The online Store is only used to collect orders and the items will be kept by you and will not be claimed from you for any reason. We also accept management of items with the authorization of the buyer and seller if the item has special case or is of high value.

 

Please note: Integrity is of the utmost importance. Since this is an online transaction, please be sure to ensure the authenticity and integrity of the data, which includes, but is not limited to: item descriptions, details, pictures, prices, taxes, insurance, shipping, returns and problem handling. Please avoid disclosure and legal issues due to unclear descriptions. If your item description does not match the actual item condition, OGP reserves the right to remove your item information and seek financial compensation from you for any damages you have caused.

Selling: 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.

 

In order to guarantee that your objectives are achieved, OGP will also assist you in entrusting your items to a trustworthy auction house.

 

Please be aware that all estimations are merely estimates and could change when an expert examines them personally. The party requesting an estimated value must be the legal owner of any property submitted through this service.
