it is a scam. they said it would be a 5.00 charge and now charge my account 80.00 a month. and to cancel this you have to put your credit card number in again. no thank you. Never use this company!

It appears to be a clever scam. I was in a chat and provided various pieces of info regarding the art piece I wanted appraised. I was then told to pay a $5 (FIVE DOLLAR) fee for a month's membership. In doing so online, the amount suddenly changed to $55! Magic. It was flagged as not going through, so I tried a couple more times and even tried to pay though Paypal. I got an e-mail from my bank alerting me to suspicious activity, so I logged into my account and saw 5 transactions for $55 being processed. I called the bank and had them canceled and now have to get a new Debit card. I am feeling like a fool for not checking here first.

I used this service last August for a quick review of a complete dining room set. I sent in some pix and then had a 15 minute call with an "antique specialist". the information was very general and I found out that best way to assess is to have someone come live to see your furniture. The real issue followed in that they signed me up for a monthly subscription fee of $65.00!!! Be VERY careful about how to use this site and I don't recommend them.

This is misleading, you go for a single free appraisal and not only are you charged but you receive a monthly charge from your credit card account

These people led me to believe I would be charged $5.00 to ask a question. They then went on to charge my card the $5.00 and another $65.00 that I did NOT authorize. The "Expert" I spoke with basically looked up in the phone book in my area that could help. I was under the impression I was going to get a quote as that is what I contacted them for. Total waste of money and unauthorized charges to boot. I have canceled my Credit Card and intend to contact the Attorney Generals Office and report FRAUD.

I was just trying to find out how much an appraisal would cost. It led me through a "refundable" $5 charge but never answered my questions about price. Then I got a fraud alert from my credit card saying that they had charged me another $55. I never did find out what an appraisal would cost, or what the terms would be. I've spent an hour trying to straighten this out and I'm nowhere near done. Stay away from these fraudsters (as well as JustAnswer which they are a part of).

You answer some questions about your item with a bot, then you are referred to an appraiser. Before you speak to the appraiser, there is a one-time charge of $5, refundable (I assume deducted from the aporaiser’s fee). But when I entered my payment info, my bank sent a notice of charge declined. For $65, not $5. This may be a legit operation, but their practices are suspect.

Stay away from this fraudulent business. They promise a "1-time" $5 charge but then hit your credit card for $48 EVERY SINGLE MONTH thereafter. Try to call them? Only response is an automated message, "We do not recognize the number from which you are calling. Goodbye". No email contact. We have to have our bank reject the charge each month and go through the fraud process with them. Save yourself the aggravation and go elsewhere.
