Hi,
I''m new to post, but have been an avid watcher for months. I''m considering purchasing a sapphire ring, the seller offers an AGTA Certificate as well as a gemological certified appraisal certificate with the ring.
I am unable to see the ring in person (purchasing online) and the seller does not allow any outside escrow service.
What kind of value should I give to the AGTA Certificate and certified appraisal. I have only received an AIG report on another purchase- that was way over on the estimated value (even I knew that). I have made several purchases over the internet sight unseen, and have always come out ahead but this is the largest purchase to date.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Darlene
