Apprasials are usually terrible. EBay/cl will be best

So call up a bunch more places, until you get a fair deal.

Call the appraiser back and tell them you'll let it go for 15k.

Most appraisals are used for insurance purposes. Also remember that jewellery is one of the most marked up items out there. |

Try some upper end consignment stores if they are in your area.
My mom found a 18 carat broach of some sort at a resale shop that had europeon hallmarks - she put it in on consignment for 300 - it sold for 250. I believe she recieved 150 bucks for 8 bucks invested think 30 percent was their cut. |

Hire an auctioneer and be done with it. Hold the auction on a weekend so regular folks attend, a mid week auction will attract dealers that will tend to hold the prices down.

Quoted: My grandmother passed away a while back and left my mother with a ton of her jewelry. She's had it professionally appraised, and it's worth $17k or so. I called up a local place that advertises that they buy estate jewelry, and they said that they would only pay about 10% of the appraisal. That's a huge hit. Is there any other place that I can try aside from jewelry stores, or am I stuck with craigslist/ebay? |
