IMPORTANT Notices & Disclaimers - Please Read Regarding Appraised Jewelry and Loose Stones - U.S. Asset Forfeiture & Seizures Inc. DOES NOT send any items for appraisal. A third party appraisal may be supplied by the consignor or previous owner. This type of appraisal or verification is as follows: Retail Replacement Value Appraisals for Insurance Purposes, which are the most common. These types of evaluations are written for insurance needs. This would be the cost to replace the jewelry with an item of equal quality and kind, considered to be the current market price or the replacement value for locations such as Beverly Hills or Upscale areas of Europe and New York.. This type of appraisal is done to protect you in the event of damage or loss of a valuable item. The appraisals are conducted by Independent 3rd Party appraisal firms that utilize a Certified GIA Graduate Gemologist. Appraisals should be used for verification of gemstone and/or metal weight, size, and grade only, not actual value. Appraisal value should be considered for insurance purposes only, not actual value, as price varies greatly from retail locations. Items should not be purchased with the expectation to resell for appraisal price, or for profit. If you like it buy it. We are not responsible for profit or loss due to the estimate provided or the appraisal. Regarding Memorabilia Items - All autographs are supposed to be authentic, but it is up to the bidder to verify. List Price "LIST PRICE" or "Retail Value" is the suggested retail price provided to us by our suppliers and/or manufacturers. We make no representation that a substantial number of these products have been sold or offered for sale at the list price. Actual retail prices in your area may be substantially different. Because we sell our merchandise over the internet on a national basis, it is not possible to know if our merchandise is sold at list price in any particular location or at any particular time. In addition, manufacturers may use formulas to determine the suggested retail price which may not correspond to what a product actually sells for regularly. "SAVINGS" and/or the PCT.% OFF shown throughout our site reflects the difference between our price and the supplier/manufacturer provided list price shown on our sites. Because the list price may be different than the actual retail prices in your area, you may not actually realize a savings of this amount and may want to make an exact comparison for yourself by checking the prices of other internet or local retailers prior to making a purchase. Please note: ALL SALES ARE FINAL, NO REFUNDS, NO EXCHANGES, NO CHARGE-BACKS.
