Free verbal appraisals.
Curious what something is worth? Walk in and ask. We'll examine your piece and tell you honestly, on the spot, what it's worth — at no charge and with no obligation. Free verbal appraisals for anyone in San Diego, at our bench in La Jolla.

A verbal appraisal is the easy first step. Whether you're thinking of selling, insuring, or simply settling a curiosity, we'll look it over with you and explain what we see and what it's worth today.
It's the same expert eye behind our written appraisals — only spoken, immediate, and free. If you decide you'd like it in writing, or want to sell, we'll take it from there.

Before you sell, insure, or inherit — know what you're holding.
No mystery, no surprises
In-house, unhurried, and honest.
