Estimates and appraisals
We buy and sell, and in case something is on offer we are interested in we may make an offer you can compare with offers by third parties, but we do not do estimates and appraisals of any kind. For these you should turn to a sworn expert. In Germany the Chambers of Commerce can name one near you, in other countries you may have to inquire with other legal or public authorities. Besides, given the nature of the objects we deal with without actually laying eyes on the respective item any utterance about its potential value would not be serious business.

Sharing new knowledge about objects purchased here
In line with our policy of business corroborated in meanwhile almost 50 years we not only provide any interested party in customarily full, frequently quite comprehensive descriptions with all relevant knowledge available here at the time of the offer and sale resp., but also gladly and without having to be asked share new knowledge with the purchaser, even still decades later.

Information on third party offers
Since decades it is usage here not to comment offers by third parties as we regard this – though it might be customary elsewhere – as dishonest. This aside any such utterance without actually laying eyes on the respective item would be a questionable venture from the start as getting five quite different estimations for five copies of even the very same edition is by no means unusual with objects of the kind in question here. Of course you are welcome however to get an idea by comparable objects offered here.

Information on objects purchased from third parties
It is the opinion here that the respective dealer is responsible for the comprehensive information of the client, before, during, and after the sale. Just as we ourselves in correspondence with our policy of business corroborated in meanwhile almost 50 years not only provide in complete descriptions all relevant knowledge available here at the time of the sale and always make every effort to answer questions beyond to the greatest satisfaction of the interested party, but also gladly and without having to be asked share new knowledge with the purchaser, even still decades later.
