<p>[QUOTE=&quot;thebmwjunkie, post: 222419, member: 4314&quot;]Hello and thanks for the welcome! As I run a business, my first choice is to buy them at a fair price and get them appraised by an auction house (eldreds is closest to me so probably there). If they say everything is kosher, I would take their advice on how to sell. Definitely would bring pictures first to avoid any incidents. I do understand ivory is tricky, but I don&#039;t morally take issue with true antiques acquired before the ban. This item in no way affects the current poaching as it is a fairly heirloom</p><p><br /></p><p>My main concern is what I should pay, and if it is legal, a real basic range of value. Doing research, I see things similar realizing prices in the thousands all the way up to 50k plus. But I realize it depends on age, region, and quality. </p><p><br /></p><p>But I really appreciate all of the input guys. Definitely the most unique item I&#039;ve had walk in my door, although I&#039;ve only been in the antique game since I left college 5 years ago. So please excuse my somewhat limited knowledge. I will update the thread tomorrow as the seller is supposedly sending me photos of his dating documentation to prove age[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
