Labs and appraisals

[STails]

Has anybody heard of Labtrade in Vegas? I''m looking for some backround on this organization as I am considering using them as a gemlogical lab. Anybody have a resonablly priced lab for appraisals? If so what kind of turn over time do they have, is there a price sheet?

I feel you should not mistake a lab and an appraiser : generally speaking, the quality of analysis of an appraiser is much below this of a lab (and an appraiser is cheaper while there should me more work).
In France, for instancce, these are two completely different things : appraisals are given by experts that will usually ask for a certificate to be made as they do not consider havin g the technology to check.

Of course there are also excellent appraisers with real testing skills !
