Offer to Purchase

Purpose

An offer to purchase is not strictly speaking a valuation of an article. It is simply an assessment of an item's value to a prospective buyer should the owner wish to dispose of it at that moment in time.  Any research done on the article is for the benefit of the prospective buyer and no schedule will be offered.  It may be requested that a seller leaves an article for a period of time.  This is usually of benefit to the seller as it allows us to make enquiries within the trade and expose the article to a range of offers.  If an item is damaged or unsaleable due to prevailing trends and market conditions, a break up value may be offered and this is usually the lowest offer that a seller should expect to receive, based on current metal and gem prices.  The owner of the item is under no obligation to accept an offer and the offer is only valid at the time it is made.  Fluctuations in market conditions may cause an offer to be amended upwards or downwards if a decision to sell is postponed.  A seller is under no obligation to sell an article and we are no obligation to make an offer to purchase.  Our company policy restricts purchase of goods from minors and identification is required.
