If you are selling something, what you need is an offer, not an appraisal. An offer
is the actual price someone will pay you today for an item. Someone who tells you
what you should get for an item but won't buy it himself is not making an offer.
A dealer who suggests a consignment of items at estimated selling prices is not
making an offer. Your items may not sell for some time and they may ultimately bring
considerably less than the estimate. In fact, they may not sell at all. We make
our offers (not appraisals) during personal conferences between our expert buyers
and our clients. An offer is how much we can pay right now for your item.

No. SEB has no responsibility to report purchases, or parties from whom we purchase,
to the Internal Revenue Service.

|
|
Yes. You will sit down with the buyer assigned to you and he or she will discuss
with you our findings and payment offers. The buyer will share opinions and options
while leaving you with the final decision of whether or not you would like to sell.
If you choose not to sell, there is no further obligation on your part and no hard
feelings on ours.

We believe selling to SEB will give you the highest prices and the best overall
experience. While we have customers worldwide who we sell to, a local pawnshop or
jewelry store is limited to a relatively small pool of local customers. For this
reason, they often decide to resell many items to a company such as ours. So by
coming straight to us, you eliminate the middleman, are assured top dollar for your
items, receive great customer service and enjoy a hassle-free experience.
