[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 405105, member: 2976"] That's the nub of it right there. My fathers collection contains quite a few sapphires that have been formally appraised by a professional valuer and have the valuation certificates. The valuer has valued some of them at prices that I feel they would have some difficulty selling at, except perhaps to a really serious collector. The valuer is certainly a highly qualified professional - but they are not the buying public. If John and Jane Public don't agree with the price then good luck in selling it for that much just because you have a piece of paper that says it's worth that. [/QUOTE]
