By providing easily, accessible & guaranteed item descriptions, buyers enjoy a steady influx of deals suited to their business needs. How It Works: Describe: A seller submits a description & image of their valuable online. Based on this description, we use our smart technology to conduct a market value analysis. Ship: Worthy will provide a prepaid FedEx shipping label for insured overnight shipment to our secure facilities. Once the valuable arrives at our headquarters, we professionally photograph it and hand deliver it to GIA for grading. Get Offers & Get Paid: The valuable is put up for auction where targeted buyers will compete for it. Once a seller approves the final bid, payment is processed almost immediately and we send the valuable to the winning buyer. Worthy transactions are entirely guaranteed – no fine print or cancellation policies. Once a seller approves the highest bid, money is transferred and the deal is sealed. We professionally authenticate and describe valuables, assuring buyers that what they bid on is exactly what they`ll get. In turn, we pre-screen all buyers, dismissing fraud or trust elements found in non-secured marketplaces.
