Catawiki expertise reliable?

Catawiki expertise reliable?

Hey all,

Is the expertise from Catawikis experts reliable at all? Because very often it seems way too high. For example, I've seen a ruby that is supposed to be worth 5,800 - 7,100€ according to the expertise get sold for 557€, so not even a tenth of the expertise and this is not the first time I've noticed such an extreme difference.

What are your thoughts? Thanks.

Help needed combined shipping

Hi everyone,

I won two auctions on the same day from the same seller. When I try to pay for my order Catawiki only provides the option for a combined payment which includes shipping cost twice from Japan (€40 via vendor Arigato Japan). Catawiki advises me to first pay for the entire order and then ask the shipping cost back one from the seller. How realistic is this approach? Since I dont want to pay €80 shipping cost for two products which can easily go into one parcel.

Thanks for the help!

Kind regards

Wiebe

Artemission and catawiki are literally scamming. Seling replicas as authentic antiques.

I was about to bid on an authentic Roman ring sold by Artemission on Catawiki. For more context, Artemission is a “well established” antiques dealer from London and very active in Catawiki. I was about to bid on this Roman ring, according to the post, dating to the first century AD. But, something in the back of my mind was bugging me. As I did more research I found that the same ring was previously sold as a replica… And as we speak, artemission is selling it as authentic. I am perplexed and lost all confidence in Catawiki.
