My MIL needed some jewelry appraised. Had bags of pearl necklaces. Are they real? About half were…read morenot. Various rings from her MIL & mother were graded & given valuations. Retail for used jewelry is quite different. What you paid back in the day, what it's worth to replace, what it's worth to insure. She just wanted basic info as she plans to distribute to kids, grandkids, etc. Yes there is a fee. But well worth it from a laypersons point of view. Inherited jewelry is a lot about the memory of a loved one. Thanks for your assistance!

I hired Curt Kopetsky and Auto Appraisal Network to represent me as an independent appraiser in an…read moreinsurance total loss dispute. It was an absolute disaster that actively harmed my financial position. I provided Curt with a meticulously detailed pre-appraisal brief, including verified historical market data from my specific Date of Loss in 2021, and invoices for over $6,600 in premium aftermarket upgrades. Curt completely ignored my evidence. He produced a lazy, boilerplate report that severely undervalued my vehicle. To make matters infinitely worse, after reviewing his draft, I explicitly instructed Curt in writing NOT to submit or finalize the report. He ignored my direct directive. He took his flawed report and signed a binding settlement agreement with the insurance company's appraiser WITHOUT my review, consent, or authorization. His research and negotiation skills were so astonishingly incompetent that his final appraisal on my behalf came in over $8,000 lower than the insurance company's own internal appraisal. He literally negotiated against me and handed the insurance company a massive financial advantage. When I discovered this and immediately demanded that he formally retract his unauthorized signature, Curt vanished. I escalated the issue to the corporate office, contacting Dave Williams via multiple emails and direct phone calls, seeking intervention and a refund. The corporate office completely ghosted me. They refused to return a single call or email, abandoning me with a flawed, unauthorized legal document on my insurance record.

Curt cancelled my appointment 2 hours before our appointment. my vehicle was salvage title and…read more500,000 miles. His reasoning for cancelling was he did not want to take my money knowing he can't beat the at fault insurances 2,000 dollar offer because my vehicle is a salvage title and 500,000 miles. I told him I found receipts of a replaced rac and pinion, master cylinder, engine, and leather seats and he said he would not take that into consideration in my appraisal report and still cannot do more than $2,000 car value on my vehicle report . Again, his reasoning is that it's salvage and 500,000 miles. I told him there's more that makes up the value of a vehicle than just salvage title and mileage , and he said maybe I can show a judge my receipts and see what they think. What??????????? He wants me to present my 9,000 dollars worth of receipts to a judge who is not an appraiser and have a judge decide what he or she thinks is the value of my car and if they can give me a higher value than 2,000. He's supposedly this top notch appraiser who GIVES TESTIMONY IN COURT UNDER OATH and he doesn't think a replaced engine with lower miles, leather seats , upgraded rac and pinion upgraded master cylinder, upgraded springs , new alternator, new battery, new starter new brakes will make a cars value go up?????????? He's a moron I'm glad he never did my report . He also was telling me he found a comparable of my vehicle , in which the ad said "mechanics special" with a salvage title. He's a fucking moron, he wants to compare my highly maintained vehicle with every single part replaced on it with a car that's not running and has a bunch of maintenance issues . He's an appraiser and only looks at comparables with title type and mileage , and won't take your receipts into consideration on upgrades and maintenance

I picked up the repair jewelry today and it all looked excellent and they actually didn't charge me for one of them. Funny enough I had a break in a different part of the jewelry and brought that in so they can repair and just so happened to stumble upon something they had put out that morning and purchased it right then. Without even asking, they were kind enough to give me a discount, which was honestly a very fair price. If you're looking for a family own location with nice jewelry, nice attitudes, and fair prices look no further.
