My Ebony wood 18th century Buddha statue is an antique, weight 111kg and 1 meter height estimate value $700 - $1400 USD ???
Thank you David for expert appraisal. Also to let you know this budah statue now is not for sell.
Ì already expected for the resault of the $21 appraisal service, but this resault is far off my imagination. For $1400 USD you can’t even afford to buy a set of carving tool for this of wood carving. I am very highly insulted by this valuation. Base on present day value of this ebony wood alon it worth $1.1 million USD, for your comments in the appraisal, I strongly demand my my refund for this service effective immediately, because you not deserve to earn this $21.
