    The better the condition, the higher the resale value. We accept items in fair, good, very good, excellent, and pristine condition.

Data-driven pricing

Our proprietary pricing algorithm helps us determine smart prices based on resale market trends, demand signals, search data, and similar items sold.

Plus, we employ hundreds of experts and authenticators, including gemologists and horologists, who inspect thousands of items each day to make sure you get the best price for your item.
