<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ce BCA, post: 3808071, member: 18716&quot;]How do you mean?&nbsp; There is nothing wrong with calling the auctioneer and asking for their opinion, I do it all the time if I can&#039;t see a piece in person.&nbsp; Say for example they have a ring listed as yellow metal because it&#039;s unmarked, if I&#039;m interested and know the auctioneer I&#039;ll call and ask if they think it&#039;s gold, sometimes they will even give a carat estimation (and/or test it).&nbsp; They won&#039;t write this down in a catalogue or report but if they know you they will happily spill the beans - they want to sell the item for the best price.&nbsp; This won&#039;t work by asking for a condition report, you need to know the auctioneer/valuer personally.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
