I have a couple of problems. If Jim is correct no returns is one. The second is a leap of fath. You are correct if you were not there you have to show trust. I think with items over $7,000 you should have at least one more person to trust. I don't think that if someone is going to spend that kind of money you should have to pay to make sure and Item is authtentic before the auction. It should be automatic to have at least two authenticators for high priced items.
Just want to know if I did send it out to someone both of us trust and they said no or not able to authenticate. What happens to that item. Is it still up for sale. Do you say that it was not passed by so and so or not able to authenticate? Do you let the next guy go through the same thing?
