Prepare for an evaluation with a clear, practical checklist.
Ask how the item will be weighed and tested, which factors influence the evaluation and whether non-metal components are included.
Understand whether the offer is time-limited, which identification may be required and what happens if you decline.
Bring relevant receipts or certificates when available, but do not assume they replace inspection.
Keep the context in view
Product specifications, market conditions and individual circumstances differ. Ask direct questions and review confirmed information before making a transaction.
