In 1964 I bought several pieces on Murano Island--thus, I am sure they are authentic. I now want to sell them. I have read your Terms and Conditions and still don't understand what I would pay for an appraisal. Please explain the cost of appraisals and then if you buy pieces. judypayne@mchsi.com Thank you, Judy Payne
